    I was raised there in Denver and Aurora. Haven't been there since November '05. I was homeless living on the streets or wherever I could sleep for years, '96 - '05. I had a cocaine addiction that cost me everything I had including my family, nearly taking my life overdosing 5 times. I haven't touched that crap since December '19.

    Lived in Denver for 28 years--escaped in 2017. Worked at 18th and Broadway. Every city councilor in that city should be thrown in jail for the abomination that beautiful city has been turned into.

    Regardless of how you feel about the war in Ukraine, it’s ridiculous to think that this issue can be solved with money. First, Colorado, allocates $270 million dollars, into its state budget, to combat homelessness. Second, the issue of homelessness in Colorado started, like in many other states, as a result of people’s attitudes towards drugs changing. In 2012, Colorado legalized marijuana. This resulted, in people from other states, flooding to Colorado for weed. However, people were not just smoking weed, they were doing stronger drugs too. As a result, you began to see a rise of homeless drug addicts. Moreover, in 2023, Colorado legalize the consumption of mushrooms. Interesting enough, the homeless population in Colorado went from 6,000 people in 2022 to 9,000 in 2023. So, maybe legalizing drugs is not the ideal action to take, if you want to eliminate the homeless crisis.

    ​@alvarotorres9057 You are making a very good point. If I were a mayor, I would commission a project to study the effects of the drug legalization, as well as benefits and cost of this social experiment. The lessons can and should be applied to upcoming legislative changes across the nation. From what you are saying, it looks like the legalization of drugs in Colorado may be a failed experiment.

    Historically, the very poor had their own section of town, where there were no building codes. Within that section, laws were (and are) very lax. Today, people need a safe place to set up their tarp tent with basic services (communal toilet/showers), washing machines, PA level medical, and safe electrical power (to heat their tent, their widescreen, electric blankets, fans, portable electronics). Ideally, the place would have some trees (not a manicured park). People in the rentier and house owner sections need to be isolated from such spaces with a high fence which several wide no fence access where bus service could stop. Rent should be charged by the week Failure to pay means immediate expulsion. This is not cruel as the section might house those who choose/must living with minimal rent (zero is best but not necessary). Liberal on drugs but heavy against disturbing the peace.

    Denver is a solid blue city, so homeless issues are typical. So is crime and other associated negatives. But the people of Denver keep voting liberal/Democrat/progressive/woke, so they get what they voted for. Enjoy. When I was living in CO (Springs) the ONLY time I would go to Denver was when I HAD to -- for a doctor's app't @ the VA Medical Center. Then, they built (FINALLY, years late and WAY over budget) the new VA facility in "diverse" Aurora -- which isn't that great a place, either. Have ZERO interest in Denver, but I imagine decades ago (1950s, 60s and into the 70s maybe) it was a pretty decent place. As was Colorado overall (politics-wise). It's declined big-time since then. I DID go to places (suburbs) near/around Denver though -- my favorite was Littleton/Ken Caryl Ranch. For me though, of the 4 major cities of CO -- Boulder, Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo -- I'd choose the Springs. -- BR

    @@Nationwideveteran I've never been to the NEW VA hospital (1700 N Wheeling St, Aurora) as the VA/CBOC/COS (Pfc. Floyd K. Lindstrom Clinic, Colorado Springs) facility had MOST of the medical services a vet would need, and re: what it didn't have they would send you out locally via Community Care (a civilian provider). When they only had the old hospital (1055 Clermont St, Denver) I'd be sent up there for pulmonary and cardiology as the COS VA Clinic had neither specialty -- but that was then. LATER, the COS VA sent vets local, usually to a UC Health/Memorial Hospital provider...so again, I never got to go to the NEW VA hospital even once (yet). But I agree: the VA's choice of Aurora, which is probably the "least desirable" suburb in the "ring" of suburbs surrounding Denver. But in a way it makes sense as the VA is into "diversity" big-time as it's flaming Woke. That is, EXCEPT for hiring -- not much "diversity in hiring" at any of the VA facilities I've been to in Texas, NM and CO (so it must be their Woke agenda). Well, at least the VA Regional Office is in Lakewood, not Aurora (but only had to go there twice). Don't know if it's still there, but the VA had a Dermatology Clinic (only on Thursdays though, IIRC) in Aurora (I-225 @ Mississippi Exit area) in an unmarked building (no VA sign on it!) I would go to because back then I wasn't sent out locally in the Springs (Community Care) so those are the times I'd have to drive up to Aurora. Yes, I saw some nice apt complexes in the area (well, they appeared nice from the outside) but really, probably would not want to LIVE in Aurora. Too many sketchy people walking the streets and hanging out on supermarket parking lots. No thanks. I'll take Ken Caryl, thank you (IF I could afford it, which would be never). ;-) -- BR

    The Mayor and his people are very stingy & selective on who he puts in the micro homes or homeless motels... You basically have to be camped out in an open air drug camp site near a government building to get that treatment... At best, they tell you to go to the shelters which are overcrowded, dirty dangerous and still you can't even get into them without being jerked around on a "waiting list"... The shelters are also being overrun with immigrants many of whom are also dangerous and don't like Americans (In my experience)... They'd rather give resources to immigrants when we have plenty of our own homeless people needing help... I admit that Mayor Johnston has done much more than previous Mayors on this problem but it's still just a drop in the bucket compared to what is needed and how they go about doing it...
