Yeah but if Pueblo grows the way you want it to it will become another republican stronghold. A huge office park/suburb to your north will destroy your democratic majority and make Pueblo as a whole allied with COS and not something that cancels it out. You would just be another Douglas County, another place for Denver to have to outvote for any sort of progressive projects to be approved.
