All the problems where there is a large majority who agree on the problem and the solution. Otherwise it's politics (coalition building and compromise) as usual.
When you're the mayor, you don't need a large coalition. You need to win over seven of thirteen members of the City council and not break the law so that you won't get tripped up in a court challenge. And, in a place like Denver, there aren't big, fundamental ideological divides between the Mayor and the City Council majority, even though there is not always perfect agreement.
