Take your cameras now to those same sites now. June 2024. You'll find that most of them are gone.But keep posting this stuff.If it makes people think twice about moving here...mission accomplished!!
@SullenMorbius yeah right. Its a pigsty. And it started its decline when the libtards started crawling out from under their rocks and coming to this state.
@paulsmith9786Scottish right Masonic center? It’s pretty. Never had any weirdness there. My best friend lived in that newer building above noodles and co. next to that building.
90% of the homeless population are from Colorado. Lack of affordable housing and high cost of living are to blame. The people in Colorado office aren't in charge of raising rent, gas prices or food.
Go downtown in any major city and you will experience that. I lived in Austin and there were homeless people shitting everywhere in 2018-2021 when I was there. Don't go downtown, that's how downtowns are.
That’s unfortunate because San Diego is a beautiful city. Best weather in the country and great scenery too. San Diego is by far and away my favorite place in Cali.
Hi Chris, I've lived in Denver my whole life and everything you mentioned is true. The cost of living is out of control. Everything is going up except the paycheck. A lot of the tents are gone but there's still more than I"d like to see. Thank you for doing such a great job putting this together.😀😃😄👍👍👍
A lot of memories looking at footage on these streets. I am originally from Arvada, Colorado and used to frequent Capitol Hill and North Capitol Hill driving for Uber and Lyft and delivering for Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub and Postmates. I've been living in Honolulu, Hawaii since May, 2024.
@Christopher-n9c2b- the Freemasons actually built a lot of stuff here. In fact, one of our most famous buildings is called the Masonic Temple, and is the venue that is still used for meetings, music, concerts, etc. to this day.
I am a Denver native, born in 1957..As a teen my family would go to our dentist in down town ..Civic center park is right there along with the state capitol..There is an art museum there as well....That was then and this is now and I have not been anywhere near the area since..It is a damn shame that things have become so bad....It has been years since I was anywhere near down town and I don't see myself going there any time soon !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shopping and ice skating at May D&F, seeing a movie at the Paramount or just cruising Colfax. The bums (that’s what we called them) were down on Larimer street where the skid row bars were. I feel for those whose only Denver experience is negative.
Good vlog Chris enjoyed been in Denver for.25 yrs and yes things have changed and not for the better. Rich get richer poor get poorer and crimes go up. Vicious circle of life here in Denver. Im from Aurora and just yesterday having dinner with the wife and gun shots out of nowhere...
Thank you governor For everything you have done for Denver. Raise the taxes raise the crime rate raise the homeless rate. And deteriorate Denver worse than it has ever been. It's nice to have people wash your windshield at every stoplight and off-ramp. It was nice to take away business and put in bicycle Lanes. Lived here over 50 years, paid off my house but now I can't afford the property taxes. Many older people are losing their houses. You've done a bang-up job!
We vote on tax hikes. Voter approval is what's needed, so blame your fellow Coloradans for your higher property tax. The Governer doesn't have the authority. You have a choice - keep blaming in ignorance, or get educated. What's it going to be?
I have driven in Capitol Hill because of my Lyft job at night. Yes, it is extremely sketchy and dangerous. Rino, 5 Points, & Downtown get pretty bad as well.
quar_0 They’re not Denver, but the city’s sketchy suburbs. Let’s not forget Federal Heights, Glendale, Commerce City, southern Thornton, Wheat Ridge, and eastern Arvada.
@jag92949 Wheatridge!!! What is scary about Wheatridge? You're nuts! Maybe you should get another job. A real job. Or better yet...just move. It's a free country.
I make about $150k a year and locked in my home and rate back in 2020. If I were to buy my house now, it would be another $2k a month added to my mortgage!
Born and raised in denver, and the city has now pushed all the homeless out of the city, and into those nice "safe" expensive suburbs. Denver is a dumpster now, and as time passes, it only gets worse. It sucks quite a bit. This used to be such a fun, nice place to be, now you're risking your life just going to work. Denver is a third world as well as everywhere around it. Denver truly sucks now sadly.
The fact you have to explain yourself so much on how you are not attacking any particular group of people, but actually just simply stating facts, is just mind blowing. The American population is cooked
I lived in Capitol Hill in the early nineties. My car was broken into weekly. Everyone always remembers the past as so much better than it was. If anything it’s that only people who earn a lot can afford to live there so now it’s the homeless and the college educated. When I lived there an asst manager at a restaurant could afford the area
I have grown up in Denver since I was a year old. My dad was born and raised here and met my mom in college at Arizona State, so they moved here after they had me. Up until around 15 years ago, I would never say one bad thing about living in Denver. I loved everything about it especially the people and how friendly most were. Not saying there were not your common assholes, but not many. I remember running out of gas one night and the gas station being closed and all you were able to use was a credit card which I didn't have I just had cash. I had some man come along and put $25 in my tank. I tried to give him the $10 I had and he said no this is Colorado we help each other out, You don't get that anymore. Either most of the natives left when everyone started moving out here from every which way that also brought their shitty attitudes and crime, but even more because the cost of living especially the property prices nearly tripled in the housing markets and rent over the course of 15 years. This along with our wages not increasing enough, if even much at all to even this out. This is the biggest reason the homeless pop. has become out of control and the cut to literally almost nothing of the Budget for shelters and low income housing. Look up emergency housing options in Denver and Aurora and you will see the lack of this, with over 8 different shelters in these areas closing there doors due to lack of funding despite the 110,000,000 given to Denver since 2022 for homeless and 100,000,000 being unaccounted for when they did a audit earlier this year. So yeah there is that. Some homeless did move because of the pot along with all the jerk offs that think they are better then everyone else but unfortunately more then half were created due to good old American greed. Really a sad thing if you ask me. Funny fact Denver is run by Democrats? The party that supposedly fights for the little man. Crazy.!!
Mexicans are the coolest dudes out there man. They just giggle and drink beer and smoke shitty weed when they aren't working. I never got why they got so much hate. These guys would also down a 12 pack after work and show up the next day for work fine and pull a 12 hour day and not mention shit.
I lived at 9th and Logan on Cap Hill. We left in 2020. It wasn’t terrible but it was starting to get crazy. I used to ride the bus too! I loved Cap Hill. I’m getting ready to move back to Boystown in Chicago. It’s really nice there.. 🤔
Its easy to form a narrative when the subject you are speaking on cant really articulate an argument to your points using your syntax. Luckily, i can. Been houseless for well over a decade around the denver metro. Most would think the people you like to blame are not services friendly, but the reality is the services are not people friendly. I would like to see how your perspective would change by comprehending a CAFR from any of these municipalities. The corruption and misappropriation of funds are the greater story. For instance, i was approved for a brain injury waiver after years of evaluation and chasing these programs and services down. I was never notified and had to uncover the local government fraud for accepting funds for these sort of programs but not having the systems set up to administer them. If folks took care of the young, elderly and sick instead of using them for a scapegoat to rake in more funds, maybe community will be revived. Not everyone wants a handout. Sometimes folks just need a hand up instead of getting further exploited for the optics or your feelings. A lot of suffering you are choosing to overlook because it isnt pretty enough for you or doesnt fit your political paradigm. You are no better than the politicians playing games woth peoples' lives while you are likely just another agent of the problem reaction solution
The most desirable cities in the country to live are Denver and Austin Texas. But along with that popularity comes the usual problems associated with growth. It's happening in Austin too. But there is noplace I'd rather live...warts and all. And I've lived in 5 US cities.
I lived in Boulder/Denver for almost 20 years from 99-2016. Sad to see Denver going to complete shit. I lived at 18th and washington, not too far from where this video was filmed.
It’s a lot better now. I left for a year and have been back for about a month. Don’t let these people make you second guess your assertions, I’ve seen a lot of shooting downtown. I’m right off Broadway in the heart of DT and the past three years were hectic.
Late reply but - Check police statements tied to car theft numbers. Meaning: about the time of or soon after defund the police, the police said they would not be going after car thefts. Something to the effect of . . . the cars usually show up later. Inaction: They would show up 'at some time in the future to take a report. Result: would guess reports dropped off significantly because 'why deal with it, if it doesn't make a difference'.
I visited Denver back in 2021 and I wasn't a huge fan of the city. Luckily, my friend who lives outside of the city picked me up and we got to spend the day just driving around through the mountains so I didn't really deal with the city much other than when I had to go back to the hotel. I did have a lovely encounter with a vile acting homeless woman on Amtrak but she got escorted off the train in handcuffs at the next stop out of Denver for talking vile to everyone on the train including a conductor who wasn't putting up with it. Then she had the audacity to justify her behavior by claiming she was a "transient" and had a rough day.
Born and raised in denver metro area and I don't go outside other than to run errands and do my business. People will run over you and drive away. People will steal your dog. Carry a rock in the Rocky mountains. It might come in handy
I can only go back to the mid-60’s as far as my knowledge of Denver’s crime. Colfax has always been a little edgy, ride the #15 bus and you see the darker side of life. Where ballpark is was full of drunks and old bums. The area around St Joseph hospital filled up with junkies in the late 70’s. The homeless would drown in Cherry Creek after heavy rains. As the city got bigger there’s a proportional increase in the dark side.
That’s how Colfax and Broadway corner look ALL the time. They sprawl out together, get high in the open. It’s consistent. They come move them out and by the next day they are there. Now it’s also turned into a migrant hang out. They might be of the get high persuasion. Aurora is super bad with the mothers and children, some new norms begging on every corner while their husband sits in a car nearby. For me it’s the Addicts and Migrants that’s made this place crazy. I’m originally from Detroit. East side. This doesn’t compare. There we are just poor. Working and getting by with jobs mostly in the suburbs.❤
I used to live in some crappy neighborhoods in Brooklyn, including East New York, but I never felt as creeped out walking around as when I lived in Denver, even in the day time!
If everybody who feels that way according to these responses. would just do what you did...problems solved. But don't ever Imply that Denver is scarier than NYC. That's laughable.
Capitol hill or Crackitol Hill has always been sketchy as all hell! I got mugged up there right across the street from the Capitol building! Cops were half a block away! Too many crack heads there is the problem.
Live In Denver.. the park by the capitol was absolutely overrun during Covid. Literally the entire park was crammed with tents. I have witnessed a shooting there, right on Colfax and Broadway.. and it’s also the only area in which I’ve ever been threatened after 12 years in the city. Pretty sure I have some clips of it during its peak and a maybe one of it being cleared out while I was driving to work one morning. I’ll also still see the occasional encampment pop up within a block or two of my place, approx 1 mile south of the capitol. I run a high end pipe shop and I’ll get people coming in looking for meth pipes on a daily basis. I’m also frequently offered drugs on my two block walk to work.
@GodbreadGilfredBiago true but I'll only stock stuff that is unambiguously for cannabis. I mean I'm not surprised that I get these people.. They're definitely more surprised when I tell them "no, I don't have any oil burners.. or roses.. ect" Maybe 20% spend a half hour scouring the cases convinced that they're gonna find one hiding somewhere in there. They're not. I deal in higher end collectible work and don't need these folks frequenting the place.
Fun story when I was in seventh grade we were touring downtown outside the capitol on the way to tour the Catholic Church. It must have been 1990 and there were homeless then too and there was even a naked dude walking around. His clothes neatly folded in his hand. Too many people around here are sheltered. Things haven't changed much. Just the gentrification pushing it out to the forefront.
From a third gen native, I liked your video…and I will look for the others. Just some comments. I lived downtown in the 80s. I felt saver walking down 16th Street Mall alone at midnight than I do during the afternoon now. Plus it’s all fast food, pot shops, souvenirs and discount stores. Yes the oil bust was tough for awhile, but it didn’t affect the whole city. Today, I won’t go downtown unless I’m going to a game or concert. The homeless here are everywhere. The trash is all over and it’s disgusting. A lot of it is the legalization of pot. I voted for it, but probably wouldn’t again. Big weed took it all over, so It’s corporate and it’s so strong. I was working on Colfax and Broadway. Would walk down the mall at lunch and there’s all these young dudes asking for money, with the smell of weed. Like 20 something year old who look perfectly healthy to work. Not old school homeless like I’d give a smoke to everyday on their way to work, but they want like $5. Going to my car there was a guy shooting up, needle still in his arm, sitting on the bench by the front door of The Denver Post. You see people doing the fentanyl nod all over the place. The foil is locked up at 7/11. Covid locked us up way too long and closed some restaurants that have been here for 20, 30 years. We are the west. You can always pick out someone from Colorado. They are nice. Not tying to be BS nice like today’s society, but genuinely nice. It’s the Cowboy way. Now they are just rude. When all these people moved here, they brought their politics and attitudes with them. I have no problem with them doing that, but if you left a crappy state, leave it there. They spend our taxes on stupid stuff. For example, they spend all this time and money repairing 16th. That’s ok, it needed it, though it really impacted small businesses. They were renaming it and there was all this song and dance. Woooo, what’s the new name? The suspense. They went from the 16th Street Mall, to 16th Street. What? More like what did that cost. It’s pure idiotic. The new mayor is ridiculous. The city of Denver and Boulder pretty much cancels the vote for the rest of the state. And forget about skiing! I lived in Florida for a while. When I moved home I bought a pass, got some skis…the first season was ok. My son was learning. I overlooked the hassle because I was glad to get to go. Second season, went maybe 3 times. Waaaaay too crowded and too expensive for a day. Vail tickets are over $300 for an adult and $200 for child. Breckenridge is $250. Winter Park? $280. I can’t imagine my mom paying $900 for my brothers, herself and me for just the lift tickets! And we went almost every weekend. That’s a mortgage! Did I mention these are weekdays. One more thing…the traffic. Apparently when people got here, they forgot how to read street signs. They will stay in an exit only lane until the very end and then try to merge. Meanwhile, the people in next to them are complete aholes because they speed up or wont let them in (this is something they do everywhere). So the one person has to stop, which backs up that lane, then finally lets him in and that lane backs up. There is no reason for I25 to be stopped, both ways, in the middle of the day with no accident, no game, no cars on the shoulder, nothing. Stupid people. And East High School is a good school? My brother went there for a year when they started busing…but today? Maybe between shootings! It makes me quite sad to see this once great state so F’ed up! As soon as my son finishes college (CU), I’m out!
DENER WAS JUST FINE, UNTIL SMOKE, SMOKE, SMOKE CRAP....AFTER THAT, NO MORE DECENCY FOR THE CITY, THEN THE HOMELESS....IT S SO SAD...YOU HAVE TO BE "WELL OFF" AND BE ABLE TO LIVE IN THE BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS.......ONLY WAY.❤
Most of what you said is onpoint except the make-up of the migrants. The vast majority are Venezuelans versus in previous years it was mostly people from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, etc......
I lived in Denver from the age of 13 until I was about 30 years old. I’ve been to Denver 3 times since I left nearly two decades ago and it has changed beyond my imagination. I lived and grew up in Northwest Denver (Sunnyside, Regis, Berkeley and Edgewater) plus I lived in the east side (Colfax and Jasmine, Colfax and Havana and Colfax and Chambers). I was born in Memphis and grew up in Cincinnati until I relocated to Denver in 1990 at age 13.
Dude. Lived in Denver last 5 years.. I live 5min walk from that "dangerous" intersection. This is excessive AF. Like dude said, I urge you to see Oakland or anywhere else below the poverty line in one.of the most expensive zip codes in the country. Makes Denver seem like Disneyland. I've never felt unsafe in any part of Denver. Homeless people don't want to hurt people . Most part, they want to be off the radar. Housing cost? Yes. Fentanyl? Yes. Migrant workers? Naw.. it's the same.everywhere. Denver isn't near getting it the worst. Even close.
I've lived in Cap Hill recently, hang out in cap Hill on a weekly basis. Yeah this is way overblown and just ridiculous. Sure this neighborhood could seem sketchy if comparing to a place like Boise Idaho or something but said against any other major city it's pretty tame.
@ChrisHarden Thanks for these Denver videos BTW. I don't understand why this migrant situation is so difficult. Whether people agree with Texas or not, these cities are complaining when they are just getting a tiny fraction of what Texas deals with every day. Whatever policies or laws that are in place right now for undocumented migrants is obviously not working and Texas is just bringing attention and highlighting the failures of them. That message is not being received and it's proving costly and negatively affecting residents. See Chicago and what the people there think. They are not happy at all.
Our homeless issue wasn’t anywhere near this until a bunch of outsiders moved in and couldn’t afford to be here … anyway most the places I’ve lived in the last 20yrs has been downtown and I loved it … my last apt down there was right at 9th and Lincoln and I wished I wouldn’t have moved … I never felt “creeped” out or scared to be down there
Been there since 1960. He's definitely exaggerated the violence. They've cleaned up an awful lot of the homeless encampments...He's trying to project sensationalism in order to get clicks. We know better.
30:05, another person moving outta Denver. Grew up in Leadville and lived in Littleton for 20 years. The Denver metro area was a nicer place to live until all the out-siders started moving here. That's when the quality of life in Colorado started going downhill. This brings tears to my eyes...
Im a native. Capital Hill has always been a sketchy place. If your young not much passed 30 give it a try. just be careful. I had my days there. Then I left . Left it for the next generation to enjoy. Hopefully that trend will continue.
We have to give 6 months of free rent in 5 stars hotels, free telephone and services, free tablets, free food, free a lot! Latinos that we came here in the past we broke our backs and nobody gave us a coin! And the worse part is that these guys are from the Train of Aragua!
When speaking of housing crisis, homelessness, and linking it it to migration or illegal immigration, the correlation is misleading. 1) migrants, no matter which city they arrive to, they're transportation, housing is paid for by us government, or states fund the migrant settlement, and get reimbursed by federal govt. 2) homelessness, you'll find majority are Americans with severe drug addiction. Again, us government prioritizes migration, ukraine, and other wars over its own peoples health and well being. 3)housing crisis, is due to bad monetary policy by federal reserve bank, which issues credit to sustain us government expenditures. Monetary policy, credit, and interest rates artificially creates a housing market, buyers with bank loans willing buy properties, and jacking up housing prices to the point where the houses are overvalued. That's what's going on. In closing migrants bring their own problems. My comment should not be taken In defense of migrants. Multi layered social issues may or may not have causation to each other. Bur were talking about housing, homelessness, and migration. Big issues,
ROFL Capital Hill is a joke! I grew up in the Hoods of NYC in the 80's where if you changed your tire you would have to fight off strangers from striping your car! Cop's did not arrest you for running your mouth instead they would drop their belt and fight you but if you lose expect to get arrested and a few broken bones! If you won you walk free!
which state? Don't worry I'm hella conservative. lol. I moved to Montana, loved it, but the WEATHER. It was so grey so I came back to Denver/Boulder and I don't like it
What are the reasons for this explosion of homeless? It was not like this 30 years ago. Did the bums get lazy and start pooping? Its funny you yourself says it's not that bad.

Used to live there. 2000-2015. Had to leave. Cost of living was insane and it was no longer safe
lol riiigght 🤣
@SullenMorbius yeah right. Its a pigsty. And it started its decline when the libtards started crawling out from under their rocks and coming to this state.
Gets worse every year. Rent is insane all over Denver right now. Houses cost too much for blue collar workers. Great neighborhoods if you can afford.
Capital Hill studios were $270 a mo a few years later $1,500 a mo.
@davejzielinskiits insane
Colfax and Broadway has been a consistent hotspot since the 80s. Denver native here.
The biggest crooks / criminals in Denver, do business in the State Capital.
The REAL biggest crooks behind the scenes do their business in the building shown at 4:40
@paulsmith9786Scottish right Masonic center? It’s pretty. Never had any weirdness there. My best friend lived in that newer building above noodles and co. next to that building.
90% of the homeless population are from Colorado. Lack of affordable housing and high cost of living are to blame. The people in Colorado office aren't in charge of raising rent, gas prices or food.
I lived here all my 59 yrs and it has been getting bad for the past few years due to the fentanyl... So sad to see my City go down 😢.
I went to downtown Denver to visit a bank. I smelled human feces for blocks. It was disgusting
That's a gross exaggeration. The solution to your problem is to leave.
Go downtown in any major city and you will experience that. I lived in Austin and there were homeless people shitting everywhere in 2018-2021 when I was there. Don't go downtown, that's how downtowns are.
No cancellation from me, Chris. I totally agree with you. I left my lifetime home in San Diego because it was turning into a third world shithole.
That’s unfortunate because San Diego is a beautiful city. Best weather in the country and great scenery too. San Diego is by far and away my favorite place in Cali.
We left San Diego 23 years ago ! Don't miss it at all !
Denver homeless camps grew like crazy after weed was legalized there.
Hi Chris, I've lived in Denver my whole life and everything you mentioned is true. The cost of living is out of control. Everything is going up except the paycheck. A lot of the tents are gone but there's still more than I"d like to see. Thank you for doing such a great job putting this together.😀😃😄👍👍👍
My name is also Chris and I also live in Denver, so you really freaked me out for a sec
I live in a suburb of Denver. I once worked in downtown Denver, so glad am not any more!!😂 Good show! New sub!
They were moved but just as long as YOU don't have to see it right? Out of site out of mind. That ought to solve the problem huh? Smfh
True the cost of living here is insane!
I've lived here all my life and it's not bad at all 😂🤡
A lot of memories looking at footage on these streets. I am originally from Arvada, Colorado and used to frequent Capitol Hill and North Capitol Hill driving for Uber and Lyft and delivering for Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub and Postmates. I've been living in Honolulu, Hawaii since May, 2024.
I wish we had done as good of a job here in Detroit in preserving old mansions as they seem to have done in Denver.
@Christopher-n9c2b- the Freemasons actually built a lot of stuff here. In fact, one of our most famous buildings is called the Masonic Temple, and is the venue that is still used for meetings, music, concerts, etc. to this day.
The homeless camps are now at Speer and Zuni next to the old motel.
They won't be there long.
I am a Denver native, born in 1957..As a teen my family would go to our dentist in down
town ..Civic center park is right there along with the state capitol..There is an art museum
there as well....That was then and this is now and I have not been anywhere near the
area since..It is a damn shame that things have become so bad....It has been years since
I was anywhere near down town and I don't see myself going there any time soon !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shopping and ice skating at May D&F, seeing a movie at the Paramount or just cruising Colfax. The bums (that’s what we called them) were down on Larimer street where the skid row bars were. I feel for those whose only Denver experience is negative.
Good vlog Chris enjoyed been in Denver for.25 yrs and yes things have changed and not for the better. Rich get richer poor get poorer and crimes go up. Vicious circle of life here in Denver. Im from Aurora and just yesterday having dinner with the wife and gun shots out of nowhere...
It's all good deep in the South Havana 'hood.
Thank you governor
For everything you have done for Denver. Raise the taxes raise the crime rate raise the homeless rate. And deteriorate Denver worse than it has ever been. It's nice to have people wash your windshield at every stoplight and off-ramp. It was nice to take away business and put in bicycle Lanes. Lived here over 50 years, paid off my house but now I can't afford the property taxes. Many older people are losing their houses. You've done a bang-up job!
Neither of us is entitled to stay here.
California calling him back...
Polis is working for the WEF globalists to make Denver a 15-minute city, and completely destroy Denver and surrounding areas.
You weren't here in 1993 were you? I was living at Colfax and Ogden. That was worse.
We vote on tax hikes. Voter approval is what's needed, so blame your fellow Coloradans for your higher property tax. The Governer doesn't have the authority. You have a choice - keep blaming in ignorance, or get educated. What's it going to be?
I have driven in Capitol Hill because of my Lyft job at night. Yes, it is extremely sketchy and dangerous. Rino, 5 Points, & Downtown get pretty bad as well.
quar_0 They’re not Denver, but the city’s sketchy suburbs. Let’s not forget Federal Heights, Glendale, Commerce City, southern Thornton, Wheat Ridge, and eastern Arvada.
I lived in 5 Points in the 70's. The store on the corner used to get robbed about 1x per week.
quar_0bro Lakewood is not dangerous they just broke😭
@jag92949 Wheatridge!!! What is scary about Wheatridge? You're nuts! Maybe you should get another job. A real job. Or better yet...just move. It's a free country.
@tomneff7030 Have you been on Sheridan Blvd? That’s the border of Denver and Wheat Ridge.
Denver can never be right until the statue of John C. Fremont is put back on the pedestal on Broadway.
Jared pole smoker ruined the city and state
@danieloshea3326And that's not homophobia, IT'S JUST A FACT OF LIFE!!!
I make about $150k a year and locked in my home and rate back in 2020. If I were to buy my house now, it would be another $2k a month added to my mortgage!
Born and raised in denver, and the city has now pushed all the homeless out of the city, and into those nice "safe" expensive suburbs. Denver is a dumpster now, and as time passes, it only gets worse. It sucks quite a bit. This used to be such a fun, nice place to be, now you're risking your life just going to work. Denver is a third world as well as everywhere around it. Denver truly sucks now sadly.
The homeless are still in Denver very much so...
Chris! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+⭐️ outstanding! hope for more to come! 🇺🇸 one of my fav youtubers
I was out at the Capital building and in the park three venders handing out cell phones. All the homeless lined up and hanging around by library.
The fact you have to explain yourself so much on how you are not attacking any particular group of people, but actually just simply stating facts, is just mind blowing. The American population is cooked
Used to be 5 points. Been gone a long time, not sure anymore.
I live near Broadway and Alemeda. All the homeless in my area speak english really well. The foreign migrants get hotel rooms.
I moved here 30 yrs ago and Ive been downtown Denver probably 6 times…. Although some parts of Aurora is pretty bad too
I live in St Louis and work downtown and yeah the poop in the streets is an issue as well.
I lived in Capitol Hill in the early nineties. My car was broken into weekly. Everyone always remembers the past as so much better than it was. If anything it’s that only people who earn a lot can afford to live there so now it’s the homeless and the college educated. When I lived there an asst manager at a restaurant could afford the area
I have grown up in Denver since I was a year old. My dad was born and raised here and met my mom in college at Arizona State, so they moved here after they had me. Up until around 15 years ago, I would never say one bad thing about living in Denver. I loved everything about it especially the people and how friendly most were. Not saying there were not your common assholes, but not many. I remember running out of gas one night and the gas station being closed and all you were able to use was a credit card which I didn't have I just had cash. I had some man come along and put $25 in my tank. I tried to give him the $10 I had and he said no this is Colorado we help each other out, You don't get that anymore. Either most of the natives left when everyone started moving out here from every which way that also brought their shitty attitudes and crime, but even more because the cost of living especially the property prices nearly tripled in the housing markets and rent over the course of 15 years. This along with our wages not increasing enough, if even much at all to even this out. This is the biggest reason the homeless pop. has become out of control and the cut to literally almost nothing of the Budget for shelters and low income housing. Look up emergency housing options in Denver and Aurora and you will see the lack of this, with over 8 different shelters in these areas closing there doors due to lack of funding despite the 110,000,000 given to Denver since 2022 for homeless and 100,000,000 being unaccounted for when they did a audit earlier this year. So yeah there is that. Some homeless did move because of the pot along with all the jerk offs that think they are better then everyone else but unfortunately more then half were created due to good old American greed. Really a sad thing if you ask me. Funny fact Denver is run by Democrats? The party that supposedly fights for the little man. Crazy.!!
Denver and Colorado is run by communist and Marxist politicians. And idiots here keep voting them in.
Demon-crats
I've lived in metro Denver for the vast majority of my life. Cap Hill is an extraordinary bounty of USAmerica's ever-changing ideals. I love it.
The Bustang stop there, sketchy area. I work off 15th.
I miss the Denver Boulder metro area of 2000. It was such a cool time to be in such a cool place! But alas, everything must end I suppose 😢
It’s because of the idiots here who keep voting in the communists and Marxists.
A year later, any update?
I have never noticed a large number of homeless Mexican immigrants because they work and share houses.
Mexicans are the coolest dudes out there man. They just giggle and drink beer and smoke shitty weed when they aren't working. I never got why they got so much hate. These guys would also down a 12 pack after work and show up the next day for work fine and pull a 12 hour day and not mention shit.
FACTS
They're given $8000/month cash and healthcare and food benefits. They're pawns for globalists who are destroying America. They live large.
I lived at 9th and Logan on Cap Hill. We left in 2020. It wasn’t terrible but it was starting to get crazy. I used to ride the bus too! I loved Cap Hill. I’m getting ready to move back to Boystown in Chicago. It’s really nice there.. 🤔
Its easy to form a narrative when the subject you are speaking on cant really articulate an argument to your points using your syntax. Luckily, i can. Been houseless for well over a decade around the denver metro. Most would think the people you like to blame are not services friendly, but the reality is the services are not people friendly. I would like to see how your perspective would change by comprehending a CAFR from any of these municipalities. The corruption and misappropriation of funds are the greater story. For instance, i was approved for a brain injury waiver after years of evaluation and chasing these programs and services down. I was never notified and had to uncover the local government fraud for accepting funds for these sort of programs but not having the systems set up to administer them. If folks took care of the young, elderly and sick instead of using them for a scapegoat to rake in more funds, maybe community will be revived. Not everyone wants a handout. Sometimes folks just need a hand up instead of getting further exploited for the optics or your feelings. A lot of suffering you are choosing to overlook because it isnt pretty enough for you or doesnt fit your political paradigm. You are no better than the politicians playing games woth peoples' lives while you are likely just another agent of the problem reaction solution
Thats the cleanest Ive seen downtown in awhile. They swept a few encampments last week from what i heard.
Yeah this was a year and a half ago. Last time I was there was this past September and it was bad
Denver has gotten a lot worse since mid 2022. Cap Hill and Downtown look disgusting right now.
I lived in 5 different spots of Capitol here. The first being Colfax and Sherman street right by Civic Center park. Fun times 😂
Like 10-15 years back, I was hearing Denver was one of the best cities in the country.
It still is.
The most desirable cities in the country to live are Denver and Austin Texas. But along with that popularity comes the usual problems associated with growth.
It's happening in Austin too. But there is noplace I'd rather live...warts and all. And I've lived in 5 US cities.
@masonkanterbury3007
You’re very ignorant, Denver is falling apart
No, isn’t and still quickly going downhill.
Oh, it was. Weed and Jared Polis were Colorados 2 fatal mistakes and Denver suffered for it
The oldest church in colorado is in antonito colorado..
There are people living in campers and rv’s all over
I lived in Boulder/Denver for almost 20 years from 99-2016. Sad to see Denver going to complete shit. I lived at 18th and washington, not too far from where this video was filmed.
It’s a lot better now. I left for a year and have been back for about a month. Don’t let these people make you second guess your assertions, I’ve seen a lot of shooting downtown. I’m right off Broadway in the heart of DT and the past three years were hectic.
Lives here 16 years and it’s just bad it’s not how it used to it’s Denverzuela it’s so much migrants
Every community has their own Rec
Centers.
Great video. Denver was Way nicer many years ago
Late reply but -
Check police statements tied to car theft numbers.
Meaning: about the time of or soon after defund the police, the police said they would not be going after car thefts.
Something to the effect of . . . the cars usually show up later.
Inaction: They would show up 'at some time in the future to take a report.
Result: would guess reports dropped off significantly because 'why deal with it, if it doesn't make a difference'.
OMG. I still remember boom/bust days.
My old stomping grounds 😅😢
Wow good to know
I visited Denver back in 2021 and I wasn't a huge fan of the city. Luckily, my friend who lives outside of the city picked me up and we got to spend the day just driving around through the mountains so I didn't really deal with the city much other than when I had to go back to the hotel. I did have a lovely encounter with a vile acting homeless woman on Amtrak but she got escorted off the train in handcuffs at the next stop out of Denver for talking vile to everyone on the train including a conductor who wasn't putting up with it. Then she had the audacity to justify her behavior by claiming she was a "transient" and had a rough day.
I’m a fan of the area, would’ve been more of a fan of the city proper probably 10 years ago. That’s quite a story though ha
Born and raised in denver metro area and I don't go outside other than to run errands and do my business. People will run over you and drive away. People will steal your dog. Carry a rock in the Rocky mountains. It might come in handy
I can only go back to the mid-60’s as far as my knowledge of Denver’s crime. Colfax has always been a little edgy, ride the #15 bus and you see the darker side of life. Where ballpark is was full of drunks and old bums. The area around St Joseph hospital filled up with junkies in the late 70’s. The homeless would drown in Cherry Creek after heavy rains. As the city got bigger there’s a proportional increase in the dark side.
Waking up to a freshing pound of 💩 😂 1/20/25
That’s how Colfax and Broadway corner look ALL the time. They sprawl out together, get high in the open. It’s consistent. They come move them out and by the next day they are there. Now it’s also turned into a migrant hang out. They might be of the get high persuasion. Aurora is super bad with the mothers and children, some new norms begging on every corner while their husband sits in a car nearby. For me it’s the Addicts and Migrants that’s made this place crazy. I’m originally from Detroit. East side. This doesn’t compare. There we are just poor. Working and getting by with jobs mostly in the suburbs.❤
I used to live in some crappy neighborhoods in Brooklyn, including East New York, but I never felt as creeped out walking around as when I lived in Denver, even in the day time!
Good, tell all your friends how creepy Denver is. Haha
Bro New York is safe asf whatchu talking ab😭🤣
Glad you're back where you belong. Denver is weird and we like it that way.
If everybody who feels that way according to these responses. would just do what you did...problems solved.
But don't ever Imply that Denver is scarier than NYC. That's laughable.
@tomneff7030 bro you’re not even allowed to have guns in nyc💀 Denver is way worse than New York saying New York is dangerous is laughable😭😭
Capital hill was not a good neighborhood even back in the day
100 bus loads of imagination dreamers will help
Capitol hill or Crackitol Hill has always been sketchy as all hell! I got mugged up there right across the street from the Capitol building! Cops were half a block away! Too many crack heads there is the problem.
Live In Denver.. the park by the capitol was absolutely overrun during Covid. Literally the entire park was crammed with tents. I have witnessed a shooting there, right on Colfax and Broadway.. and it’s also the only area in which I’ve ever been threatened after 12 years in the city. Pretty sure I have some clips of it during its peak and a maybe one of it being cleared out while I was driving to work one morning. I’ll also still see the occasional encampment pop up within a block or two of my place, approx 1 mile south of the capitol.
I run a high end pipe shop and I’ll get people coming in looking for meth pipes on a daily basis. I’m also frequently offered drugs on my two block walk to work.
Yeah, people smoke meth and you run a pipe shop.
@GodbreadGilfredBiago true but I'll only stock stuff that is unambiguously for cannabis. I mean I'm not surprised that I get these people.. They're definitely more surprised when I tell them "no, I don't have any oil burners.. or roses.. ect" Maybe 20% spend a half hour scouring the cases convinced that they're gonna find one hiding somewhere in there. They're not. I deal in higher end collectible work and don't need these folks frequenting the place.
It's f'n terrible
Fun story when I was in seventh grade we were touring downtown outside the capitol on the way to tour the Catholic Church. It must have been 1990 and there were homeless then too and there was even a naked dude walking around. His clothes neatly folded in his hand. Too many people around here are sheltered. Things haven't changed much. Just the gentrification pushing it out to the forefront.
@GodbreadGilfredBiagoyes I do but this isn’t the average headshop. More of a high end collector gallery.
If you removed the bums from denver, would it still be dangerous?
😎😎😎😎
From a third gen native, I liked your video…and I will look for the others.
Just some comments. I lived downtown in the 80s. I felt saver walking down 16th Street Mall alone at midnight than I do during the afternoon now. Plus it’s all fast food, pot shops, souvenirs and discount stores. Yes the oil bust was tough for awhile, but it didn’t affect the whole city. Today, I won’t go downtown unless I’m going to a game or concert. The homeless here are everywhere. The trash is all over and it’s disgusting. A lot of it is the legalization of pot. I voted for it, but probably wouldn’t again. Big weed took it all over, so It’s corporate and it’s so strong. I was working on Colfax and Broadway. Would walk down the mall at lunch and there’s all these young dudes asking for money, with the smell of weed. Like 20 something year old who look perfectly healthy to work. Not old school homeless like I’d give a smoke to everyday on their way to work, but they want like $5. Going to my car there was a guy shooting up, needle still in his arm, sitting on the bench by the front door of The Denver Post. You see people doing the fentanyl nod all over the place. The foil is locked up at 7/11. Covid locked us up way too long and closed some restaurants that have been here for 20, 30 years.
We are the west. You can always pick out someone from Colorado. They are nice. Not tying to be BS nice like today’s society, but genuinely nice. It’s the Cowboy way. Now they are just rude. When all these people moved here, they brought their politics and attitudes with them. I have no problem with them doing that, but if you left a crappy state, leave it there. They spend our taxes on stupid stuff. For example, they spend all this time and money repairing 16th. That’s ok, it needed it, though it really impacted small businesses. They were renaming it and there was all this song and dance. Woooo, what’s the new name? The suspense. They went from the 16th Street Mall, to 16th Street. What? More like what did that cost. It’s pure idiotic. The new mayor is ridiculous. The city of Denver and Boulder pretty much cancels the vote for the rest of the state.
And forget about skiing! I lived in Florida for a while. When I moved home I bought a pass, got some skis…the first season was ok. My son was learning. I overlooked the hassle because I was glad to get to go. Second season, went maybe 3 times. Waaaaay too crowded and too expensive for a day. Vail tickets are over $300 for an adult and $200 for child. Breckenridge is $250. Winter Park? $280. I can’t imagine my mom paying $900 for my brothers, herself and me for just the lift tickets! And we went almost every weekend. That’s a mortgage! Did I mention these are weekdays. One more thing…the traffic. Apparently when people got here, they forgot how to read street signs. They will stay in an exit only lane until the very end and then try to merge. Meanwhile, the people in next to them are complete aholes because they speed up or wont let them in (this is something they do everywhere). So the one person has to stop, which backs up that lane, then finally lets him in and that lane backs up. There is no reason for I25 to be stopped, both ways, in the middle of the day with no accident, no game, no cars on the shoulder, nothing. Stupid people. And East High School is a good school? My brother went there for a year when they started busing…but today? Maybe between shootings!
It makes me quite sad to see this once great state so F’ed up! As soon as my son finishes college (CU), I’m out!
Start at the State Capitol ?
Build back better," You will own nothing and be happy" !
Klaus Schwab
DENER WAS JUST FINE, UNTIL SMOKE, SMOKE, SMOKE CRAP....AFTER THAT, NO MORE DECENCY FOR THE CITY, THEN THE HOMELESS....IT S SO SAD...YOU HAVE TO BE "WELL OFF" AND BE ABLE TO LIVE IN THE BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS.......ONLY WAY.❤
East n West Colfax is the blame here sir. It's where the ruckus stems from. Since along time ago.
Most of what you said is onpoint except the make-up of the migrants. The vast majority are Venezuelans versus in previous years it was mostly people from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, etc......
Well that turned out well for you all? Didnt it! NOT
I lived in Denver from the age of 13 until I was about 30 years old. I’ve been to Denver 3 times since I left nearly two decades ago and it has changed beyond my imagination. I lived and grew up in Northwest Denver (Sunnyside, Regis, Berkeley and Edgewater) plus I lived in the east side (Colfax and Jasmine, Colfax and Havana and Colfax and Chambers). I was born in Memphis and grew up in Cincinnati until I relocated to Denver in 1990 at age 13.
Dude. Lived in Denver last 5 years.. I live 5min walk from that "dangerous" intersection. This is excessive AF. Like dude said, I urge you to see Oakland or anywhere else below the poverty line in one.of the most expensive zip codes in the country. Makes Denver seem like Disneyland. I've never felt unsafe in any part of Denver. Homeless people don't want to hurt people . Most part, they want to be off the radar. Housing cost? Yes. Fentanyl? Yes. Migrant workers? Naw.. it's the same.everywhere. Denver isn't near getting it the worst. Even close.
I've lived in Cap Hill recently, hang out in cap Hill on a weekly basis. Yeah this is way overblown and just ridiculous. Sure this neighborhood could seem sketchy if comparing to a place like Boise Idaho or something but said against any other major city it's pretty tame.
I agree with you both ..most the places I’ve lived in the last 20yrs was in cap hill … I love living down there
Really nice comprehensive video along with great drone shots Chris!👍
I love your "Ghetto" music!!
What is ghetto music?
If you travel to New York City, would you split up by five separate series for each borough.
Yup probably!
Definitely strange in the crime cause the neighborhoods look good for the most part.
Right?
@ChrisHarden Thanks for these Denver videos BTW. I don't understand why this migrant situation is so difficult. Whether people agree with Texas or not, these cities are complaining when they are just getting a tiny fraction of what Texas deals with every day. Whatever policies or laws that are in place right now for undocumented migrants is obviously not working and Texas is just bringing attention and highlighting the failures of them. That message is not being received and it's proving costly and negatively affecting residents. See Chicago and what the people there think. They are not happy at all.
The buildings look decently kept, but you’re also looking at tents, garbage, and feces covering the ground as well.
So, people are heading to Indiana from Chicago?
What's going to support that--in the future?
Where are the economics?
I lived in downtown Denver. It wasn't that bad. I'm from the south and the south as in for crime seems way worse. Only talking about violent crime.
Be happy
It's disgusting for sure!
The capital did not attract rich people It's much more likely that it created rich people.
(It's every city in America)........ i just go blank when i hear it. No its not
Our homeless issue wasn’t anywhere near this until a bunch of outsiders moved in and couldn’t afford to be here … anyway most the places I’ve lived in the last 20yrs has been downtown and I loved it … my last apt down there was right at 9th and Lincoln and I wished I wouldn’t have moved … I never felt “creeped” out or scared to be down there
They move there with weed on their mind. But weed cost money and they'd rather get stoned and starve.
Most dangerous neighborhood in Denver is still safer than Houston.
In this video danger is just so exaggerated.
Been there since 1960. He's definitely exaggerated the violence. They've cleaned up an awful lot of the homeless encampments...He's trying to project sensationalism in order to get clicks. We know better.
@jl696 what was the workplace you are speaking of? Where was it?
30:05, another person moving outta Denver. Grew up in Leadville and lived in Littleton for 20 years. The Denver metro area was a nicer place to live until all the out-siders started moving here. That's when the quality of life in Colorado started going downhill. This brings tears to my eyes...
I grew up in Leadville too. I currently live in Denver and it has changed dramatically.
Update, a homeless person punched my car today while he was standing in the street. I was driving a Lyft passenger in Cap Hill.
Dang
@ChrisHarden Mean Streetz, literally.
Yeah just moved here and my car broken into already! Window smashed and the stole random small crap.
Dang. Great first impression. Hope it doesn’t happen to ya again
Looks fine to me. Don't live in the big city if you're gonna get all butt hurt about bums.
Im a native. Capital Hill has always been a sketchy place. If your young not much passed 30 give it a try. just be careful. I had my days there. Then I left . Left it for the next generation to enjoy. Hopefully that trend will continue.
We have to give 6 months of free rent in 5 stars hotels, free telephone and services, free tablets, free food, free a lot! Latinos that we came here in the past we broke our backs and nobody gave us a coin! And the worse part is that these guys are from the Train of Aragua!
Funny I lived in Denver its nowhere is bad as LA, Phonenix or other cities in the west. The cost of living is another story entirely.
Man Downtown Denver aint a bad neighborhood. The Bad Neighborhood is Five points and MontBello
Broadway and Colfax has *always* been dangerous...not to say this isn't a problem, but bruh, you're late.
Your vote matters. Federal elections can change the course of your life. Do yours research and Vote.
Were do politicians go to get their fix right outside the door women booze drugs 50 feet from the back door
When speaking of housing crisis, homelessness, and linking it it to migration or illegal immigration, the correlation is misleading.
1) migrants, no matter which city they arrive to, they're transportation, housing is paid for by us government, or states fund the migrant settlement, and get reimbursed by federal govt.
2) homelessness, you'll find majority are Americans with severe drug addiction. Again, us government prioritizes migration, ukraine, and other wars over its own peoples health and well being.
3)housing crisis, is due to bad monetary policy by federal reserve bank, which issues credit to sustain us government expenditures. Monetary policy, credit, and interest rates artificially creates a housing market, buyers with bank loans willing buy properties, and jacking up housing prices to the point where the houses are overvalued. That's what's going on.
In closing migrants bring their own problems. My comment should not be taken In defense of migrants. Multi layered social issues may or may not have causation to each other. Bur were talking about housing, homelessness, and migration. Big issues,
Denial Colorado Is A Toilet Bowl Now. Don't Tell Nobody. Shh!!
ROFL Capital Hill is a joke! I grew up in the Hoods of NYC in the 80's where if you changed your tire you would have to fight off strangers from striping your car! Cop's did not arrest you for running your mouth instead they would drop their belt and fight you but if you lose expect to get arrested and a few broken bones! If you won you walk free!
I saw the writing on the wall in 2021, left Denver and moved to a red state where homelessness is illegal. I’m very lucky.
which state? Don't worry I'm hella conservative. lol. I moved to Montana, loved it, but the WEATHER. It was so grey so I came back to Denver/Boulder and I don't like it
Good riddance
Thank you
What are the reasons for this explosion of homeless? It was not like this 30 years ago. Did the bums get lazy and start pooping? Its funny you yourself says it's not that bad.
Greedy landlords
Texas started sending its homeless to San Francisco decades ago.
