Denver's Homeless Problem Is OUT OF CONTROL! 

You still haven’t mentioned those who live in RVs and their cars.

You guys all started voting democrat. Get it now ?

Na you’re wrong!

Bad 12 years ago when I left Down Town Denver, Park Avenue by the Platte looks horrendous vs back then. I am not moving back, thank you for your work broski!

Could you use "with that said" a couple dozen more times?

So you don’t live here and yet you have an unabashed opinion of our city. Don’t believe the propaganda videos like this!! These clips are only about 4 blocks of downtown! And his facts are unsubstantiated. I was just downtown and saw ZERO homeless camps and had a wonderful time.

Well, you are going into a great deal of detail at times, which I think is quite unnecessary. I believe this issue is not at all unique to Denver. It would be far more accurate to say this problem is throughout NORTH AMERICA ....both big and small cities/towns. We have exactly the same problem in Canada. No difference at all. Tent cities spring up in one day. I would not be surprised if the laws in every city are copied city-to-city. Tents are allowed but must be taken down during the day. For some reason, this one simple rule/law is NOT policed every day, so the "cities" spring up and remain until the police do their job ....which then requires city cleanup/sanitation crews to also attend to collect and throw out all the trash that doesn't get taken away by the "owners". There is very little that anyone can do to resolve this problem. It is no different from the saying "you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink". This applies to the majority of these homeless people. Drug addiction is the primary problem and it keeps growing. It starts when these people are younger. WHY are these younger kids playing with drugs in the first place. Well, one reason is society has completely failed to show these impressionable kids what the drug life is really like .....so every year ......there is a new batch of drug users influenced by drug dealers initially giving away free drugs to get them hooked ...and the rest become history ........TENT CITIES. At that point, these kids not only don't want to work, but no one wants to employ them because they are so unreliable and likely dangerous to be around. The problem continues year after year after year. Every tent city is a disgusting trash bin cesspool of people who are high, couldn't care less, and are completely oblivious to the mess. Where do they "wash up"? Where are the bathroom facilities? Where do they eat? What change of clothes do they have? We all know the answers to each of the questions. "Government agencies" exist as a means of employment. None of them has any drive solve the problem. It is called "job security". Every one of them is the first to help when needed. No one is addressing the root cause of the problem for the majority of them. That being said, there ARE some who do in fact have their own illnesses and DO need assistance because they cannot help themselves. Bottom line ......the problem is NOT unique to Denver. .

@@taxicamel I agree with the drug issue entirely. Are there any other commonalities that tend to contribute?

Government is the cause. Homelessness is just another avenue to collect tax payers money and pocket it. While telling the community how compassionate they are and all the money they are spending to solve the problems they created.

@@taxicamel"There is very little that anyone can do to resolve this problem" The first thing cities can do is stop making it more comfortable for individuals who make no attempt to improve their situation. Cities giving them tents and letting them sleep on the street unchallenged and building them tiny houses (that don't come with expectations) needs to stop. Doing these things out of a sense of kindness is actually a great disservice to those who are in the situation for no reason other than that they've decided that something else is more important. Unfortunately, if being forced to say, live in a storm sewer, is the thing that makes people decide that they don't want to be a junkie, the services to help them dig their way out will be severely overwhelmed.

That’s what everybody who’s lived in the area for a while seems to be saying about Denver.

@@ChrisHarden It was very quick as well.

🇺🇸 The American dream... has always been a dream! Truth is, it's the American NIGHTMARE. DAILY MASS shootings, mass tent cities, everyone is in GIGANTIC debt, obesity, poor healthcare, and education, poor infrastructure, income disparity, angry people and mental health issues, drug and alchol addictions, and shorter life span than third world, suicide has increase by double digits! ⚠️ Only GOING TO GET WORSE EXPONENTIALLY ⚠️

@@Freakazoid12345 Wonder why that happens? Why do liberal Californian's insist on cramming their communist's belief's down everyone else's' throats? That state is gone. It won't turn around for another 20 years. It will be a plague on our country with all the crime & the groomers. It is a real concern that resident's will move out as the city services disappear along with the stores and livelihood.

4th generation coloradoian, thanks Californication. Left last summer for Texas. Love it here.

I’ll walk with you and keep you safe

This is what happens when kids NEVER are given any chores growing up. They donʻt wanna work, and then we got explosions of unpredictable bums not wanting a job across the US. Itʻs annoying when people tell me "oh they have mental illness." Yeah, the mental illness is called not wanting to work. Thanks for sharing your experience.

@@razorhawk9808 That is what happens when rent goes up 67% in 3 years and pay goes down 28% at the same time.

@@davidbeppler3032 I agree with you. When I wrote the comment, I was thinking 5 years ago. Not in the present.

@@razorhawk9808 The important question is why did rent go up 67%? The answer is multi billion dollar real estate firms bought 30% of the rental properties. They found a new game. Buy properties, jack up the price, everyone sees the price hike, and copies it because it is now the market price. Boom, billions in profit! Homeless are just a result. Not their problem, but it is your problem.

Overall I really like the Denver area despite its problems. There are several parts of the metro area that seem to be very nice to live in still if you can afford it.

How much of these issues do you think are caused due to political decisions?

So where are you gonna go? ALL of the best places have become unaffordable.

Well I guess it's both but yea

You're not wrong.... I was working off of 22nd and California.... It's not OK.. At all

Good point. I was homeless as a child and would live in different shelters with my family. We never slept on the street. These people are choosing to sleep on the street. They are choosing drugs over a home. Therefore they are not homeless. The street is their chosen home.

Exactly! It's a drug problem mostly!

@@MightyWomanOfGod9050 it’s much more systemic than drugs, drugs are a symptom, childhood trauma and a huge increase in cluster b personality disordered individuals is a main culprit along with the Satanic beast system we are all living on. This is all by design of the ruling psychopaths, the elites aka the parasites.

People don't want to pay for these shelters/rehab centers with their tax money, sadly most of us just want the poor people to go away

*exacerbates

Start voting Republican. Let them clean it up.

Wrong laws. It's time for cities to enact laws taxing empty homes and apartments 2x, 3x, 4x per year for being empty. That would end homelessness in just 4 years.

There is a ban on public camping in Denver. DPD/City can't enforce it because it has been challenged.

Such a shame!

They had to defund the cops. America is going broke paying lifetime pensions to retiree's

Wow. You don't know what defund the police means? It means hire health professionals instead of thugs. As a business owner did you know that rent went up in Denver? Do you know why? Did you also know that the amount of empty properties also went up? Do you know why? If rent goes up by 67% in 3 years, and greedflation reduces pay by 28% just 3 years later. What happens? As a business owner, can you do the math? How much does the lowest paid employee make after taxes? How much is rent? How much is insurance, car payment, food, electricity, rent, entertainment, and savings? I bet you got a negative number.

​@@davidbeppler3032Apparently you don't know what defund the police means - it means lack of law enforcement and the result is crime. Hiring health professionals and social workers to deal with bad situations on the street means more people will be hurt and killed - if you think otherwise, you're living in a fairytale. Also, all of the other problems you mentioned are a function of terrible policy & inflation which lead to a terrible economy, and gee, who's responsible for that?

@@davidbeppler3032Anytime a white woman says woke, or defund the police, they’re Extremely racist. That’s code talk for I am jealous of black people

And hold the landlords accountable!

I think people are getting too tired and burned out to fight back and the spirit has dwindled down to a spark. Honestly, if this country had any moral standards, there would have been an uprising against the Biden Administration long ago. While the Biden Administration is disgusting in itself, it’s just as disgusting that the American people are just sitting back and watching the destruction of this country and our lives.

"The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. This is why, when forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that can not be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people's doors, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy.. but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the men who just wanted to be left alone." - Author Unknown

The American ppl will never wake up & inflation is skyrocketing across the globe & it’s not Biden either sooo this will keep going up & homelessness will spread even more across the globe

@@indigowendigo8464many of the landlords have lost properties due to tenants not paying rent for 2-3 years during and after Covid. Property taxes go up for them as well and they pass it on to the renters! Keeping up the property cost more for them as well. I own a condo, where I live in Aurora. Nothing fancy. My HOA is $370 and going up again in 2024 to around $470. The cost of the condominium insurance has tripled in one year’s time. Trash removal, water and public service for the lighting around the property has gone up; snow removal and landscaping prices have all skyrocketed. I am sure apartment complexes are facing the same issues. Unfortunately, they will pass those costs onto the renters.

Where did you move to?

Odd how that works.

@@user-fw8rm1yv3i Good question. The answer has to do with "honest money" versus "print money out of thin air" fiat banking system. The former is the conservative view of money while the latter is the liberal view of money. In short "print and spend" or "spend your way out of debt" is a democratic party staple. Moreover, the democrat party has become the party of white person's self hate, nihilism and un-equality based on race. Notice that San Francisco has the greatest wealth disparity in the world and California's "black only" amber alerts. In short, democrats generally represent un-American views.

It has never been more prosperous a city lmao. Cope. Also West Colfax has always looked like this, I've lived here all my life and even lived right there. My 85 year old grandmother used to walk to that EZ Pawn all the time and never had any problems. This is literally all just fascist propaganda. You idiots are pissing your pants over poor people suffering over draconian RIGHT WING drug war policies. Stop pretending you give a shit about poor people or homeless people, this concern trolling fools no one.

I'm old enough to remember when Denver was red. And I mean red for decades. You are correct.

TRUE!!

300,000 sounds like a pretty cheap home to me. I live in an area in California where the beginning prices of homes are a million.

@@sierrasky2491 It's cheap because $300K in the Denver metro will get you a 1000-square foot dump with the pipes torn out.

O,o 300,000 is cheap? I think anything too much over 150,000 is already getting too expensive for a home, but what do I know? Most folks where I live could never afford to pay much more than 150,000 or less. People barely make enough to survive around here and the average salary is under 25k/yr before taxes. They take so much in taxes and there is hardly any money left for basics like food. You can also forget about transportation. You can't get to most places without a vehicle to go to the doctor or work. People around these parts can't even afford basic medical procedures like cataract surgery. I guess they want to price most out of existence.

@@happycows do you mind if I ask what state do you live in question mark and what area in that state

It’s not drugs, there was very little homeless in 1960 and there were way better drugs back then and people were wealthier, more free market, less gov power to ruin lives.

Same with me , could not afford to live in Denver . Only people that could afford it , are people with family money and parents that helpted their young adult children .

I see studios in new buildings listed for 1600 now near Downtown. Very cheap for a city. Maybe prices went down.

Was it at least a NICE / Relatively NEW Apartment???? $2400, that's Los Angeles Rent for a SHITTY 65 year old apartment!!! I didn't think Denver was that Expensive....? I was renting a ROOM (master bedroom with twin bed & adjoining toilet / shower) in Redondo beach, that was $1800 / month, Just a single room. But I bailed at the first chance and came back to Tokyo, where I pay, (as of Nov 2023) $695 for my 1K apartment "Relatively" new, 4 mins from the train station, 15 mins from downtown Tokyo, and view of Tokyo tower from my balcony.... There is NO CRIME.... I could leave my doors unlocked... But there are foreigners coming in, so always have to be careful!!!

So what city are you going to move? I see homelessness everywhere in the States: New York, Miami, LA, San Francisco, Hawaii, Seattle?

I grew up near Boulder and after 35 years in Colorado packed my family up and moved to Texas. Denver was a really great city from probably early 2000s until weed was legalized. I think that one change significantly impacted the quality of life there in a negative way. It’s not all bad there of course-I’d move back if I could talk my wife into it, but she’s loving Texas.

It has NOTHING to do with Weed. It has EVERYTHING to do with heroin , Fentanyl, and Meth use.

@autoselectricos-americalat9276 Yes, this is true. I would move to a smaller town that has everything I need, is more affordable, and there are homeless on every corner. I want change since I've lived here for so long. I also don't like what my town has turned into over the last decade. There are so many factors within the decision to move. The cost of living is tremendous here, and they also don't pay someone enough to cover the cost of bills. Don't get me wrong, the state itself is extremely beautiful because of the mountains. There are no other mountains like Colorado mountains. But the increase in rent, population, and lack of well paying jobs just kills it. Obviously, there is no perfect place, and someone will run into some flaws, but there are locations that could fit a family better with all things considered.

@austinn8208 I agree. The quality of life has definitely degraded since they legalized Marijuana. I don't have anything against Marijuana as it can be useful as a medicinal treatment, but the people who had to flock here and take advantage really ruined the state. Now, I'm not saying everyone moved here for that, but the ones that came just for that and brought their bad habits are the issue. Any increase in population is going to bring issues with it. I am a person for change, so moving sounds fabulous! 😂

I’m in OKC, born and raised and I’m barely hanging on. My pay has stayed the same and my rent has gone up $250 since 2020. People are moving here in droves and causing everything to go up.

A voice of reason, thank you. Most comments here are not intelligent enough to recognize the real problems, thank you.

@meowzadong5125 nah it's definitely ignorant. Most homeless are that way by choice. Do even the smallest amount of research.

Dang, that sucks that you had an experience like that

We don't go to Denver for ANY reason. We just stay here in Castle Rock and go back to Texas, Kansas, or OK lol only travel to RED states.

Yes it’s a tough situation, the only problem is this seems to be rampant it all over the whole country, cause you even go to small communities that are fairly nice and the rentals are crazy. Unless someone wants to live in a place that is not particularly wonderful or out in the middle of nowhere, you can’t escape high rents or high property acquisition costs. It seems to be everywhere and spreading. This makes it extremely difficult for people on low income or making modest salaries, especially with families. Also, incidentally this is worldwide, not just here, that’s for sure

@@SaintTrinianz , Bidenville ? Do you think this would change under Trumpville? Like Donald Trump is going to do anything to change the world economic situation., good luck it’s worldwide, funny how a certain element ( guess) people blame everything on Biden . They carry on about how it was so much better economically under Trump, not realizing if your going to use this reason, that Trump inherited a booming economy when Obama was President, Biden inherited a mess with the pandemic, , the disasters and economic situation we have is primarily due to Covid , which incidentally Trump was the president under 2019 2020 ( Covid19?.), so if you want to blame any president for its ramifications, guess who should be blamed. It’s nonsense anyway to blame either president, nothing more than a convenient silly excuse to try to degrade someone. Some don’t even seem to have the ability to notice that this is going on in every country around the world. Many, far worse. A study on world economics is in order for a lot of people it seems.

Blackroock

I think the rents in Colorado Springs (COS) -- although also high (thta's CO for you presently) -- are lower even now, and they've dropped quite a bit since I left (October 2022). TMK, CO housing costs can be ranked most expensive to least expensive "geographically" -- meaning, from North to South. So Boulder is the most expensive, then Denver, then COS, then Pueblo (but who would want to live in Pueblo). I prefer COS (lived there twice) and plan to go back in 2 years (late 2025) IF the mortgage interest rate goes down big-time AND home prices fall some as well. Right now I'm in (way cheaper) TX, but prefer to live in CO (for several reasons) -- only in COS though, NOT the other 3 major cities (as I listed) -- even IF I could afford a house there. ;-) -- BR

Ain't nobody rising up with a needle in their arm. As that is 80% of the homeless population. Topped off with mental illness. None of these people will rise up. They can't even rise up out of bed to get a job. Which are extremely easy to get in Colorado. There literally is zero excuse to be jobless in Colorado.

Solid observation

Same. I live in Napa Valley but travel to San Francisco often. I went to visit my brother 2 months ago in Denver, and my heart broke. So sad.

Wow! That’s saying a lot about Denver cause I would’ve thought San Fran had the most.

When I lived in Denver a few years ago and visited my cousin in San Francisco, SF seemed a lot better! I saw a few vagrants, but I never saw whole encampments like in Denver. They should have never been allowed to camp out like that right in the middle of the sidewalk like that in the first place.

So heartbroken to see, but people in Colorado still won't admit that this is a huge problem in Colorado and not just somewhere happening everywhere else

Go make a Pyrolyseur ( for plastic oil ) an Electrolyseur ( for Hyddrogen pee ) a Digestor ( for Methane poo ) with around a Premium camping and maybe you will Run to be the Governor who solved the problem ethically ...

Your ignorance is showing.

This problem is nation wide. Billings, Montana has a huge homeless problem. So does Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. This is everywhere you go.

This is not due to weed. It is due to rent increases of 300% over the last decade by greedy property management companies and the fact that right wingers are opposed to rent control because they should be free to charge whatever they want to rent their building. Capitalism good. Socialism bad. Not so much, huh?

I walked all around Amsterdam in 2017 and only saw 1 homeless person. The smell of weed was everywhere though 😵‍💫

We did our walk at midnight and it was completely safe. I wouldn't try that in any American big city, even in the daytime 😳

Idk about that. The homeless population only grew by 3,000 from 2022 to 2023.

That happens every year. A certain number of homeless die every year because of that. Their numbers only increase the year after.

It was close to Edgewater. It was right inside the Denver city limits along Colfax.

Denver City is a 🔥 Hot Mess.

Leave a place and then claim you are so much smarter than everyone else to leave in just the nick of time. Going somewhere else now and leaving when it doesn’t suit you? Maybe you are part of the problem.

big same. I grew up there and left 2015, it became a huge struggle having to move every 4 months because my new landlords kept filing for bankruptcy. Must be nice for all the wealthy coming in and ruining it.

What big event happened in 2012 ? /s

@@r3sfernjbbhow old are you? When’s the last time you’ve been active in the workforce or applied for jobs? If you think it’s an attitude problem I hate to inform you that you are projecting. There are a lot of young kids working our asses off to make something of ourselves and it isn’t easy in the environment we’ve been introduced to. Also if you are older, if you just take your line of thinking a little bit further you’d realize that poor attitudes are a result of poor parenting… While I understand your point, I completely disagree and I believe you’ve been misled.

@@salokin2410 waaaaa. Nobody cares.

Yup in pretty much every blue city this is how it looks

@@roysmith5293 Tons of red cities too… don’t play yourself bud!

You mean St. Louis mo, nope that’s a blue city in a red state, you mean Miami Florida, nope that’s a blue city in a red state, you mean Jackson Mississippi, nope that’s a blue city in a red state, you pathetic fools, just keep voting blue as you fools always say looks like it’s really working well😅👍

Don’t forget Austin Texas, blue city in a red state, it’s you losers way of dealing with things, in real red city’s there’s a zero tolerance for crime and people setting up tents a crapping on the street...... you fools need to do some more homework and take a look around, I’ve lived in both red and blue city’s, red city’s were and are much cleaner on average

Please tell me where I can find these red cities

Nope all the losers moved out cause nothing there

I have been to downtown Detroit a few times in the last 10 years and it is much better than downtown Denver. I can't say that once you get a few blocks outside of downtown however.

Detroit is still a massive crap hole. Most us MI residents laugh at the suburban yuppies "saving" Detroit by gentrifying a block or two.

Yep. The UK has the same problem as America does.

@@gregorylyon1004 And those of us that live in the UK are just as sick of what's going on as people in the US

Yeah, but the mayors prior to Hickenlooper coming in at least understood that the city needed to have some form of public standard of behavior to maintain itself as a functioning area. Hickenlooper started the trend of 21st-century liberal public officials determined to show why the 60s hippie "do what feels good, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan" ethic is a dead end for liveable societies.

@@cmc5394oparva When Denver elected Hickenlooper mayor 2002, that's when Denver started to deteriorate to the level it's at now.

As long as Republicans support MAGA, they will not convert anyone over.

Well B, why is it a problem in Florida as well? I guess you get what you vote for, right. Stfu.

@@seriejohnson698 If it was raining soup, Denverites would be outside with a fork.

Yup

A camp? So you want to take all the homeless people and put them against their will into a camp ??? A CAMP!? ...sounds like a nice place where the "undesirables" can concentrate 🤔🤔🤔????? SEEK HELP. This is America.

@@tatertott2390 Maybe that's better then having them downtown or in residential areas where their presence will be a problem. They need to be isolated from the rest of the community.

@@tatertott2390Dude, in case you haven’t noticed, they’re already camping on the streets.

We already put people in “camps against their will”. It’s called prison. Everyone gets due process first. The homeless get due process too. They can get help, stay, or go. But they don’t get to live on the streets anymore.

we'll send them to your house. got an address we can give them??@@tatertott2390

Yup, unfortunately so.

It’s much more complicated than that, you could double wages or halve rents and it would hardly make a dent.

And yes, I saw a bunch of random property destruction there. I was getting ready to go in a church and a guy across the street rammed a mail drop-off box until he could pry the box off its legs and he just started throwing the box around. It was odd, to say the least 🤣

Yup everywhere the cost of living is sky high

@@flyleelee5351 And the price of fentanyl and tranq is dirt cheap.

There's probably a lot that haven't been counted for. Those numbers were also from this past January.

It looks like you need to beef up your illegal population. I'll have Texas start sending you buses.

​@@ChrisHardenI've been out and about in Denver and 9000 is a very low estimate of homeless people... The HMIS homeless data statistics are very inaccurate as they can't even possibly record the proper number on the streets, in shelters, or hiding out of sight... I bet the number is closer to 20,000...

The same way they survive in Las Vegas in the summer.

As a resident “old geezer”, I recall some very brutal winters in the past…(where some homeless unfortunates, would wake with completely frozen limbs, often in need of amputation, or simply froze to death)…

​@@DreAmeoba1serves 'em right 😂😁

I'm sure some die, unless they find someplace indoors to camp out at. Or maybe there's an outdoor generator or heater they stay near. They probably learn to be resourceful.

Here's hoping for a harsh winter.

Haven’t filmed any of the suburbs… yet. Will in the future at some point I’m sure.

You forgot to mention Subarus as part of the personality profile.

Grew up in Summit County and my Grandparents lived in Arvada, I refuse to go back anymore. It doesn't even look like my home anymore. So sad!

Subarus are awesome in the snow! I love my subie!

Tell me about cherry hill now. In 1993 we went and visited Denver and my aunt and uncle were talking about all the gangs. I as a 12 year old onlu though gang problems were in Los Angeles

Is that possible?
