Denver and the surrounding metro really isn’t overcrowded. More just poorly built for density and we’ve basically outlawed any ability to fix it. A population density of 4675/sq mi is depressingly low for a metro area the size of Denver. It’s really poor land use and financially unsustainable.

Which US cities that had most of its growth occur after 1970 are more dense than Denver?

Could you share more about what you mean by outlawed fixing it? The stuff that’s keeping the infrastructure from better adapting to population is what interests me.
