You can be homeless but that isn't an excuse to be an animal. Near one of my businesses homeless people fight, kill eachother, do drugs, break glass bottles that puncture peoples car tires including mines, put trash all over, poop all over, harass my costumers. It isn't fair for me I worked so hard to open my businesses for many years. I had a homeless guy attack one of my employees a year ago and they quit after working for me for 3 years. People feel unsafe.
You're focusing on the wrong thing. The problem is mental health and employers refusing to pay a livable wage.
@@eelnoops5200 You're focusing on the wrong thing. The problem is drugs and them refusing to work for a living. Very few are clean and fewer are mentally ill. We need forced rehab and a closed border. Drugs, drugs, drugs, and more drugs are ruining our nation and all neighborhoods are affected.
@@standdown4929 Because the current war on drugs has been super effective??? Let's try creating affordable housing and jobs that actually pay enough to afford housing in Denver.
Take out Cartel n get people Housing . The only way
Give it a try and see how easy it is to remain civilized.
This didn't used to happen when this was a red City now that it's a blue left City go ahead and take a look around. Lol!!
Welcome to California!!! We quit going downtown disgusting crime and drugs because of our government.
This is Denver.

DEFUNDED POLICE?
According to a Forbes report from August 2020, at least 13 cities have defunded or are in the process of defunding their police departments:
Cities defunded police departments - National Police Support Fund
New York City
Washington, D.C.
Baltimore
Philadelphia
Los Angeles
San Francisco
Atlanta
Minneapolis
Seattle
Salt Lake City
Portland, Oregon
Hartford, Connecticut
Norman Oklahoma,
Austin, Texas
According to Forbes, funding cuts ranged from $1 billion in New York City to $3.5 million in Seattle and $850,000 in smaller cities like Norman, Oklahoma. However, Forbes also reports that several cities have increased police spending, including Houston, San Diego, Nashville, and Durham, North Carolina.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CITIES DEFUND POLICE DEPARTMENTS?
While anti-police advocates like to say that defunding measures do not have an impact on violent crime, the statistics clearly tell a different story.
In Minneapolis, homicides increased by 60% in 2020, with many of the crimes left unsolved because there are fewer police detectives and other resources to work the cases. Things have gotten so bad that the city’s residents are filing a lawsuit against the city council to restore police funding.
“We are in an urgent state of emergency right now due to the crime,” said Cathy Spann, one of the plaintiffs in the case, told KSTP news. “As citizens, the City of Minneapolis owes us. We have a right to expect that we can be safe walking the street, that our children can play in their yards. Enough is enough.”
For its part, the city’s council seems to still be in disbelief that cutting the police force will lead to an increase in violent crime
@@blueeyedwolf2205 It's amazing how this country's government claims they can't afford to take care of the homeless or the ones in need. But they could somehow come up with billions of dollars overnight to help the people in Ukraine.
Don’t blame the government!! These people have way too many issues the governments money (ours) doesn’t provide a permanent solution!
This stuff is happening in almost all major USA cities!!!!
Every democrat city.
@@readawn6788 nope.. EVERY CITY!!
@@lordgoro is the fall of american empire,the root cause,is the degradation and lose of morals.but you want "liberty" there is your liberty.
NOT happening in my right wing community ! Its not a sanctuary city though ! We dont waste our money on BS programs that encourage homeless ppl . As a matter a fact , my right wing town just wrote a check for all new police vehicles ! Not a loan ! Not a federal aid ! Your homeless the local church will help you out with food n a place to shower n sleep . AND help you find a job ! We wont give you a hand out in cash ! But we will give you the means and knowledge to better yourself ! Much BETTER way to approach the problem !

Having as homeless, doesn't mean these people need to trash the place. It's hard for me to feel bad if they trash everything 😕.
Is there trash around. They should not be charged or go on a hunt to see trash can. I doubt they want to trash just to be a jerk.
If trash effects your empathy then I hope you've never had children.
😂 you got money, you go fix it
It's a continuing manifestation of why they're homeless in the first place. When your life is a wreck, it shows.
@@nataliehampton2589 I am homeless.
Wow you democrats have got Portland in Colorado now. Good job.
Regretted having to leave Denver in 07 where I had lived there for 23 years but looks like it was a blessing in disguise, never want to go back to the place I use to love.
Same here, but I left in 2010 before it got bad
I left in 2018. Unlivable now.
Had to move here for school. I’m rethinking moving or transferring…it is no longer the state I visited back in 2008……recently took a trip to Estes park. It’s beautiful there. Denver is a whole different story,however.
I grew up in Denver. Since the 80s I have watched that beautiful city turn to garbage, I avoid it at all cost now. I lay the blame at the feet of those that hate California, so they leave, relocate to other cities and take their values and ideals with them, turning their new city into the same glory hole they just left. Great plan, hate what's happening where you are at so spread the virus, go back to where you came from and ruin your own cities.
I understand, and empathize.
They did that where I live in Upstate Ny, now the hotels are drug and crime infested and just as run down. Plus it effected our tourism now that we no longer have hotels for the seasonal crowd. No more tourism means no shoppers for our local businesses.
i had heard this but thought it was for a small number of people. What is your source so I might read up on it.
Homelessness is no excuse for the trashiness, where does it say that only people with a home know how to throw trash away and don't just live on top of the icky
FACTS!!
Over priced housing for more state and local taxes. Over priced rents for under paid jobs almost like the system is designed to create this not fix this.
The democrats system
@@anonymouscitizen2732 both parties are the same they know by keeping people choosing sides it makes it easier to let each party special interest become richer while we work harder for less.
Exactly
Its a drug problem and the fact that Democrats and Liberals encourage bums to take over cities.
@@shawnkay5462 Yes, drugs are a big part of the problem, and democrats have lobbied long and hard for bills that provide more money for mental health services, drug rehab services, and affordable housing. Guess who always votes down these bills that could change so many lives? Republicans!!! How do you justify that?
No respect!! Look at all the trash! Get rid of them!!
If no one respects you then why would ya respect anyone back?
Are you talking about the capitol building full of trash? Yes we need to change those in office cause they are trash!
Drop them off in the desert somewhere.
Maybe if someone put a few dumpsters there it wouldn't add up to this mess. Imagine your house without any garbage cans. It'll look like that mess in no time.
So glad our Governor spent time in California during his youth soaking up their values... They've removed all the homeless from the Venice Beach area for the 4th of July weekend. Should be able to get a prime tent location Tuesday morning.
@Ann Hanover
Kind of like refugees.
When is policker going to send law enforcement to the border to help with all the illegals like the other states are? Oh wait he won't gotta have them votes

@@kunzang5136 BUT Biden is sending the Mexicans to Colorado untested for covid.

Yeah untested I got that but more importantly unable to provide for them selves till they get established?
Bigger problem is are they legal?
Colorado doesn’t border Mexico. That’s why they employ buses and planes.
Policker? Homophobic much?
this is symptom. the real problem is the politicians that let this happen.
they are bought and blackmailed
Let's pay people to be homeless! There's a Democrat idea if I ever heard one.
Why do these lowlifes get rewarded for ruining their lives???!!!
PERSPECTIVE: The homeless encampment situation in Denver is a minuscule PIN DROP of what we are dealing with in L.A., we are at FULL BLOWN, COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL, EPIDEMIC here.
It's amazing how this country's government claims they can't afford to take care of the homeless or the ones in need. But they could somehow come up with billions of dollars overnight to help the people in Ukraine.
Amen
They help the NAZIS in Ukraine
This is normal when citizens vote blue! Smh
Just think if they built a few less jets or tanks. Billions would be leftover. Homeless isn't a congress problem. Thats the problem.
Denver force people to southern cities like Colorado Springs and Pueblo. You can't use a public restroom unless you are a aying customer. I recently had a homeless woman follow me around the Dollar store. She was disheveled looking and talking to herself. She kept getting up behind me and all I could think is she just might jump or stab me.
My best defense I found was to smile and I said hi. She kinda grinned and she wondered out of the store. Another thing I notice is people hang out at gas stations knocking on my car window asking for cash like I am their mom or someone who is obligated to give money for whatever reason. They never ask "Can you buy me a sandwich?" Its not my place to judge but where does it stop?
Just because she was like that does not mean they all are.
the econommy is in slow decline lord jack wants it that way
I used to be homeless. The homeless issues will never stop without addressing the real issues. Many need mental health help, drug addiction help, and other resources. Denver claims that they are trying to address the homeless issue, yet keep closing down shelters, leave many building simply abandoned, and don't even care where the homeless go that was in one of the shelters they shut down. Homelessness is a trap that can be hard to get out of. However, with God and a little determination you can get out of that trap.
they are poverty, and the poor will be on sidewalks soon
@@lordgoro They line the sidewalks with tents and no public bathroom the solid waste is in containers or jugs spreading germs and infections without running water either. Its mental issues going on here.
@@jeanP924 Without a toilet, youd be doing the exact same!
The homeless people don't want to change they want drugs.
@@reeses5212 That is not true for all homeless. Some for sure but most want to get clean and get their life together.
Doesn't Denver VOTE "'Blue"🙄😱?!!
Everyone feels like a hero when they vote for this....and then it shows up at your door step and all of a sudden you're not so liberal any more. You reap what you sow.
Awake not woke 👍
Literally on their doorstep
@ValdieMan WTF are You talking about??
You get what you voted for, Denver. I love when the absolutely stupid liberal policies these elitists vote for backfire on them and all they can do is act surprised. Maybe RE-FUND your police department, stop voting to decriminalize criminal behavior for the sake of "equity", and get the state attorney to actually _prosecute_ criminals instead of releasing them. The list goes on and on. I'm so glad I never go to Denver anymore. That place has turned into an absolute shit hole thanks to all the Democrat leadership running it into the ground. Every year it's looking more and more like Los Angeles.
Amen!
You could not be more wrong. The homeless camps all started to become undeniably visible while Trump and his band of crooks were in office. Homelessness is not simply a product of liberal politics. Homelessness is complicated and made much worse by conservative values; the republican belief that if everyone takes care of themself then no one has to care for anyone else, therefore those who need help are somehow flawed and at fault, but most importantly do not deserve any consideration because they aren't thriving.
@@eelnoops5200 You have TDS, bro. Trump has literally nothing to do with what happens with homeless people in CO. Get a reality check.
I'm glad you don't come to Denver anymore either. You sound like a huge politically-obsessed douche.
Hey I saw that same guy hammering in let’s go Brandon and Kamala sign two years ago
I grew up in the mountains of Colorado and lived in Denver as an adult. Until April 2021, I owned a condo just blocks from the camps shown in this video. I sold to an investor and bugged out.
I saw it coming and sold before it got to the point where people were afraid to buy. Not only did I see it coming, I sold for a good profit just in the knick of time. Looks like some people cannot sell their properties now.
The current average number of days a house for sale sits on the market in Denver is 4. The housing market is still on fire as it remains one of the most desirable cities to live in the US.
They can't survive through the winter. Better start heading to California.
I like your thinking!👍
Lower class/middle class. Now add one more homeless class!
Its coming America
With empty warehouses around,they can create indoor places to live.
That's what Denver gets for too many voters not paying attention to issues. In our part of Colorado we have paid attention.
What's so hard about picking up your GARBAGE!!!! DISGUSTING!!!!
It would involve a four letter word….work
Send in the marines......cause these home owners our fed up......
Nobody seems to understand that addicts who make up a very large majority of the homeless are simply not “housable” in the traditional sense. Just imagine an apartment building or housing community full of people on fentanyl, crack and meth. People nodding out, fighting, seeking something to steal to pay for their next high and giving bj’s around every corner. The movie, “Escape from New York” comes to mind. It is this thralling ignorance that is and will be responsible for this problem. Furthermore is that many of these municipalities thrive on state and federal homeless aid that does little more than employ a bunch of nonprofit workers who have little to no impact on the problem. As well, a person’s US civil rights will disallow many actions that can be seen to actually help. Even concentrating addicts in prepared camps will bring forth a new set of problems that will result in a higher police presence and more arrests which will be seen as unfair and undesirable to the addict.
Awesome !!! Gonna sell my house and live for FREE !!!

Dear Denver Residents: Quit whining - what's another few hundred dollars in property taxes and special assessments? You can handle it. You voted for it so I hope you enjoy it.
I'm a native of Colorado and horrified of what has happened. Too many people have moved here.
Hiking trails are now packed with a bunch of tech junkies taking photos and having to share their experience with the world!
Encouraging more people to pack the trails. So much for hiking to get away from the noise!
Many of the people's attitudes that move here suck.
Stupid boxy apartments being built that look like upscale housing projects.
Wish we could send most of these people home to solve the problems they created in their own states.
Recently saw a car with a California license plate, throw a full bag of trash out their car window. No respect.
They brought all their stupid driving habits. You cross the street and the transplants start moving before you're even out of the way.
The transplants have brought their rudeness and lack of values and are ruining this once beautiful mountain location with their trash. It is truly disgusting and sad...and they are oblivious to the damage they've caused CO. Time for Bermuda! Let's see the lowlifes try to afford that paradise...
@@ocean3638 I left Denver 5 years ago for the same reasons. After 22 years, it had changed too much, gotten too expensive and of course the Liberal politics. It's turned into every other Liberal state out there. Denver was wonderful back in the 70's and 80's and now it's overpriced, over run, and taken over by the pot heads of society. Very Sad
Oh my God! That's insane.
Yea but let's send more money to foreign country's an im sad for the Ukraine people but like the old sayin goes make sure your front porch is clean before you worry about your neighbor's
Homeless people aren't going away no matter what is done because most have made this lifestyle choice. Most have come here from,other states. They're in Denver because people give them supplies, food, money, clothing. If all of that stopped, they wouldn't survive to crap all over sidewalks and ruin lawns. The biggest problem with this is that no one cares about the taxpayers who live in the area. They have jobs, property, families, educations, and pay big taxes to live in Denver. They just don't matter.
I have no concern for homeless people who choose this lifestyle, and wish they could be loaded up and sent to California. If we continue like we are, the problem will just get worse. Stop dropping off food and socks. Stop giving money. Just stop!
Your speaking facts that no one wants to hear.
Yeah when I am approached by the homeless for money I suggest they are hiring right over there ( pointing towards big box store ) Walmart Home Depot Menards wherever? They get mad ? How can you fix that ?
You are right . Don’t feed or enable them same goes for your local and state government. That’s how these problems started
Gavin Newsom is looking for these freedom lovers. Start busing them there.
Pay them to be homeless. Great idea! That will absolutely get them off the streets.
Democrats believe our money is their money. Remove welfare recipients’ right to vote and that idea will disappear.
So what is your solution to the problem?
@@eelnoops5200 create homeless sites where they can situate themselves. The sites will be located away from schools, homes and businesses. Areas where nobody wants to be anyway. Like a red light district but for the homeless. They cannot bother anyone and nobody will hassle them.
This is all over America now. Not just here
Wow those orange plastic snow fence will sure show and stop them.
It may not stop them but will deter. They look for the most convenient places. Then they litter the area with trash, feces and needles. I know, I sold my property while investors were still hot on the trail of anyone selling in my neighborhood, which was just a few blocks from the 6th and Grant camp.
Looks like owners are having a hard time selling now. I saw it coming and sold just a few months before the way it is shown in this video.
It was still winter when I sold.
Can anyone afford to pay for: rent, utilities, food, auto insurance, and -gasoline- deatholine? If he makes only $11 an hour with no healthcare or dental benefits; yes or no?
Yea... bring more Maryuanna ... oh what about the anti depressents which the psychiatrists were feeding these people since their child age.... nobody will talk about that..
That opening picture is a pigsty
Steak is 22 bucks a pound . It’s not getting better
If there were only a couple hundred homeless in each state this would be a problem of the individual. But we now have 500,000 people homeless in all the 50 state's. This is a policy problem with lack of low income housing, addiction treatment, mental health treatment and so many men unable to get jobs because of a minor criminal record. It's too big a number to just call people a bunch of bums. Something is wrong. Anyone can become homeless. I've worked as a counselor for 3 years with this population and there's only a collection of people who are homeless with problems.You can't lump everyone into one category.
Much of this is the result of not building apartments,and regular housing for at least four decades, even as millions of people were arriving in the country. Where were they supposed to go ?? Housing should have been built to keep up with them,but it was often bulldozed instead.
Yet our government encourages millions of illegal immigrants to come into the country while our homeless population explodes.
And both will get worse due to "policies" as you said.

rent goes up people on retirement fixed income get pushed out and they become homeless if denver keeps pushing the rent up regular people like you and me will be homeless
Where are these people coming from? I've lived here almost 45 years and never saw this before.
Feed them and they will come
The problem is the real estate mkt and mostly the banks if u dont make a 6 figure income or have 2 or 3 jobs u cant afford them now rentals are as bad as mortgages and the credit bureaus are just as bad they prevent the low icome people from having a home or rented home wait until the eviction moratorium expires if u want real homelessness
holy sh*t! they are going to have there hands full. Didn't think that far ahead.
This is because the governor and mayor made it legal to urban camp 🏕 that’s what they call it
You need like a 700 credit score just to rent!!

If you come here illegally you'll have housing and everything else.
This is all over North America, they need to simply buy out old hotels.
Who's they? The government? You realize the government doesn't produce anything to sell so it can pay for buying up all of the old hotels and motels. It's the working taxpayer that would foot the bill, again. So when all of the money goes to buying and remodeling all of these old hotels and motels to bring them up to code and livable per government standards don't start bitching about how bad the roads are or how long it takes to deal with the government when you need to. The money for those things is gone and being used to house these homeless parasites.
@@finnmccool22 Yea your right it does come out of the people's money as in tax. I live in Vancouver, all of a sudden around 2018 the homeless started taking over this park. On the other side is a peaceful neighborhood, even after a homeless person entered a woman's home and attacked her with a knife for no apparent reason. Maybe it was to be in jail during winter, lots of criminals do that. 2020 and the park is full of tents and trash. It's happening everywhere but mainly West coast cities. In America the west is warmer and in Canada, Vancouver BC is the only city you could survive during the winter so you get a large amount of the homeless migrating to the west. Finally the city kept there word and moved them all into a cozy hotel, not a cheap run down one but a decent one. I don't know how they are gonna maintain the health of the hotel cause most homeless aren't lazy but depressed so they wreck property fast and they love looking for junk to bring back home, which leads to bed bugs and cockroaches. Now home owners are very picky who they rent to. If you type in any city in North America with the term homeless, you will see tents all along a road or a area.
@@GateKeeper36 it's a big problem to be sure. We can't pay for unlimited social welfare issues and still expect roads and bridges to be maintained, having affordable public utilities and emergency services to be there when they are needed. There just isn't enough money. Having compassion and empathy for those less fortunate is an admirable trait to have, unfortunately we have to live in the real world as well and those of us who do work and pay taxes shouldn't be ostracized for not wanting to be taxed to hell and back to pay for everyone else's problems and bad choices. We can't eat our cake and have it too. Doesn't work that way.

@@lordgoro Has little to do with rent. People dont just become meth addicts because of high rent. This is about addiction and a huge drug problem. I live here in LA, I've been living with this and observing it for years, as well as talking to homeless people. This is about drugs and mental illness. And no incentive to change their lives and get off the streets. Drugs are so easy to get. I can walk five minutes down the street to the tent along Foothill Blvd and buy whatever I want, the police dont care.
This is about drugs.
@@kayceeyou purposely ignorant arent you
But she had money to dye her hair pink right?
Send them to Portland
Instead of coddling them, take the Japanese approach for in Japan there are no homeless. In Japan homeless are ostracized, humiliated, and punished for not contributing to society and now they have no homeless problem.
Substance addiction and mental illness are regarded as a moral weakness . In reality, they are medical conditions that need treatment, that might include institutionalization. That type of treatment is not easy to get. Additionally, many are not willing to seek help. They also don't want to stay in the shelters because they don't want to follow rules (no drugs, alcohol, fighting, staying up all night). It's hard to understand all the trash spread about. Compare it to hoarding. Which of course is also evidence of mental illness. These homeless camps attract a criminal element because of the drugs and the drinking. People get robbed and assaulted. I've been homeless myself but I've never lived like this. I've known and worked with homeless people and some of them are grateful and others just take advantage and don't want to change. It is a way of life.
Put them on Jared Polis lawn.
give the homeless jobs as street cleaners or something similar. pay them slightly more than minimum wage. i'm curious how that type of program would work out. could help... could be a complete failure.
You get what you vote for - enjoy !!!!
Yes, and people in Red States voted for poorly run entire townships.
The South is full of poverty, poor living conditions, bad roads,poor infrastructure and substandard schools.
Gas up your car and take along drive,you will see it for yourself.
Looks like LA, its east to fix, do not feed them at shelter, and do not give them money on corner, they will leave.
Basic income project.... I could've guessed its not working. Maybe they can take a look at my basic minigun project.
I have not visited downtown Denver in over 3 years and I live in Aurora. I will never go back because of this bullshit.
Give them Greyhound tickets out of state, problem solved.
create the problem then fix the problem with huge grants from the Government and they do nothing
The homeless serve as a lesson to the tax payers. Work hard or this can be you.
And the lesson is being over taught.
AO *Sentence 1 of 4* Cities can create 2,000 people villages for the homeless for only $201,000; two beds and belongings per tent.
*Sentence 2 of 4* Go to _Pallet Shelter's_
*Sentence 3 of 4* page to see existing homeless communities.
*Sentence 4 of 4* Using 1,000 $120 10'X10' tents.
It’s ok America is sending another 40 billion to Ukrainian no need to worry help is on the way… oh wait
Dealing with what exists .... set up sanitation etc. Pick up trash
Democrat Dystopia
Only getting worse
Stop paying your taxes and property taxes you will start seeing changes
Homeless people are so messy. 🙄
I hear you. However, there’s a difference between compassion and enabling. We have to help the homeless with their addiction and mental issues and help them get on their feet not turn homelessness into some kind of cruel industry.
You cannot help them if they don't want to quit drugs.
house keys is not solving much.there is a much bigger problem going on which is what started the homelessnes
When a black mayor is in charge things go down hill. That’s a fact.
LOL, try getting a job with Pink Hair?
Let’s hear it for Diversity!
P *2 of 4* Cities are spending millions of dollars to open and run homeless bed shelters; that the homeless reject due to the many restrictions and lack of security. _Pallet Shelter's_ two person _Shelter 64_ cost only $7,000 and provides a dignified, secure sleeping base of operation. So for only $201,000 [$120 tents] a city can establish and run a *Homeless Shelter Village* with 1000 shelters that can accommodate 2,000 people: 2 beds and belongings per 10'X10' tent.
Woman who has been living like that for 'years' states can't get a job because no place to shower, address, etc. She has had years to address that issue. She is not homeless, she is a vagrant.
Democrat politic and policy’s making it worse
Why isnt Colorado ( govt) offering the homeless the opportunity to learn a new trade, build skills, via paid community service projects? Common sense, majority of homeless people want to work. They want to earn own keep.
They would like the opportunity to help themselves, and there is no, services like it
🤔
Because most don't want it , too many rules ,which include no drugs or alcohol
Society of button mashers, can't solve problems well - old proverb
1 year ago , what has changed ? Nothing but more decay
ALL major metro's have this issues with the "unwilling to work". I know there are those that need REAL help, but many are just not in that category... I thank God that my parents taught me to sustain myself and my family. Is it easy, HELL no but I'm doing it!
P *4 of 4* The homeless can simply move the tents they are using now into the homeless-village and the RVs are assigned a parking space. *Or the **_Shelter 100,_** provided by FEMA,* is a $9,500 shelter that is climate controlled, built in one hour, is 100 sq. ft., and uses a folding bunk system to house up to four beds. *_Pallet Shelter's_* private sleeping cabins offer *security* and durability. Which addresses the concerns of the homeless who reject the restrictions of “bed-only” homeless-shelters; for only one night.
Let's do it, action now, stop talking about it...
People love complaining and virtue signaling on social media instead of taking any action.
This will bring even more homeless here!!
Go out to any place they are building houses and see for yourself what kind of houses they are building. They're building houses in the 375 to 700,000 cost range. Maybe we should stop approving those kind of projects and start building tiny house communities where a person can rent one for 200.00 a month. There would have to be rules of course. They would have to maintain a standard of living that is acceptable of course. Oh wait !!!! I forgot. That would be too easy. Want to know why there is so much trash at these camps? Because there is no place for them to put their trash. There will always be those who choose drugs or booze over civic duty. For those people I say build more prisons. But for those who want to live a normal life give them a reasonable way to do so. Giving people money to remain a burden on society is nothing but a burden on society. Make all the money be accounted for. But also make sure they can return to society with some sort of pride.
I think prison actually cost more than those tiny houses, but I get your point. Those who breaks the law shall get the consequence
OMG, we had that. It was called Law and Order. But you’re right, we should try that again.
A good start would be to stop voting for laws that encourage homeless people to come to Denver. I realize the pandemic has been responsible for some of this, but years before the pandemic started, Denver voted to legalize weed and for the clean needle program. These laws combined with recently enacted liberal policies have created this mess.
It actually started way before that,with the meddles and weed ! There's been drug culture long before homelessness. I always hated drug culture, never bought into that. That was bad enough to deal with ! But this homelessness is un- American. It's Third World conditions,simply teriffying to see it HERE.
That’s what happens when people vote in democratic liberal parties and ideas yeah let’s bus in more homeles like San Francisco did, then let’s pass out needles and syringes and then let’s make it a sanctuary city like Francisco and LA. that’s what happens when you vote in the liberals you reap what you sow. Thank you Chesa Boudin, London breed, and Gavin Newsom
@@yulyasevelova769 And the third world is flooding over our southern border. Your vote can stop this.
Crazy to think at 2:58 that's my blue tent and my x sitting out there right in front of it. I was homeless in Denver from 2019 to 2020 and luckily I left him and his drug abusing physical abusing ways now I'm happily with another man in an apartment with a baby...
@@iusbucktig thanks so much for that, it's sad though cause not everyone on the streets is a drug abuser or w.e some fell on hard times and some are in love with someone who just wanna live out on the street
F of Parts A-F The homeless-shelters are powered and heated with butane and solar-panels, depending on how well the infrastructure held up, which are integrated into the construction of the *temporary* _homeless-shelters._ Which are a dry, clean place to sleep, and store their stuff. People from the city drive out to the homeless-communities to pick up food bank food; because that is where the food banks and free-ice machines are located.
The housing crisis is worldwide and greedy airbnb owners play their part. Most homeless didn't ask for this.My homeless family are now seriously ill because they rented all they could get, a mouldy rental. All 3 are now seriously ill, my daughter may have breast cancer because of the mould. The mould specialist recommended demolition, instead after a coat of paint, the death trap was sold. Do not blame the victims, blame the greedy landlords, agents, airbnb owners who will all sleep safe tonight.From Australia, in despair.
did the Soviet Union have homelessness?
CLOSE THE BORDER NOW !!!!
