Seeing what has become of Denver is sad. Growing up there in the 1970's and 1980's was a delight. But an incident that happened to me in 2019 forced me to say goodbye. I was on my way home from work when a homeless person on the 16th St. Mall asked me for some money. I politely told him I didn't have any. He became very angry and slashed my arm with his pocketknife. I moved to Phoenix primarily because it's not that far away (14 hour drive). I drove up to Denver this past August and the homeless problem has gotten worse. Phoenix has a bad homeless problem too but the city will not let the homeless set up tents in front of your house like I saw in many parts of Denver. Homelessness is a complex problem with different causes but the politicians in Denver have added fuel to the fire.
I know this comment is a couple of months old but I wanted to add that I lived in Denver in the mid 70s as a kid and thought it was awful. It was a horrible and frankly traumatic experience (we lived in Cap Hill area). I've been hoping to talk with other people who lived there at that time to find out how unique my experience was. If you'd ever like to chat, let me know.

The _Bathroom_ cost $35,000 and the _Services Office_ costs $9,000. So for only $81,000 a city can establish a *homeless village.* The 10'X10' *Camping Cube Sport Pop Up Tent* costs only $120 and provides protection from the elements.

P *4 of 4* The homeless can simply move the tents they are using now into the homeless-village. *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.
The McDonald's restroom is not a "public" bathroom. It is inside a private establishment for the convenience of paying customers. Making a small purchase is customary in these situations.
Our homeless population has increased dramatically under our former Mayor Hancock, who grew up here and was raised in Denver. He has fought aggressively for Denver to be a sanctuary city and has allowed hundreds and hundreds of migrants here as well while crime rates have increased all over the city. It's ashamed, when I arrived in Denver in the 70's, it was a beautiful and clean city for it's size.
P *3 of 4* Those with income pay rent which is 10% of their net income to the homeless-village for their 2 person _Shelter 64;_ and 20% of their net income as rent for the 4 person _Shelter 100._ Their rent money goes to pay for: *childcare for working parents,* one free meal per day, and addiction services; in the community-room.
reminds me of the Philippines but without the homeless people outside and also without the thousands in rent and utilities. its like a real expensive Philippines.
I had a layover in Denver Union Station. While waiting for the connecting train I went to get dinner. There was a homeless kid in a restaurant that got caught stealing tips off table. Denver Union Station is beautiful as far as architecture goes, but I didn't want to be there any longer than I had to.
So tell me why his Republican state of Alabama takes $2.17 of federal money for every dollar they pay in federal taxes? Colorado takes less from the feds than we pay in. In other words, we in Colorado pay towards Alabama and many other red state's welfare.
I can list a million and one flaws about my city (Chicago) but one thing we don’t have a lot of, is homelessness. It’s just not that common here at all. Murders, violent crime, segregation, harsh weather, and sky high costs of living, sure. But homelessness, rare.
Makes me sad to see it ever since I was an adolescent but the problem has only gotten worse up til now. The area you drove by downtown is also right by my high school sadly. An a specific store you drove by on colfax next to the mlk library provides alcohol an tobacco to minors with no I.D is another reason that area is frequented.
I used to live in Denver and it was nice until the mid 90's, that's when CA started invading. I lived there for 35 years. John Elway is the man and we loved our Bronco's back then. I moved out about 6 years ago, housing cost's just got too ridiculous and the people got real weird after marijuana was legalized, too many people! Now with all the illegals crossing into our country, expect the same all over.
I do think M is turned out society into a bunch of wierdos. plenty of illegals where we live about 1/3 of the city and we love going there for good food never once felt unsafe or threatened. we go to food trucks at 2 AM sometimes no issues. they really wont dare harm an American among themselves is fair game tho. i honestly feel saver in the guatemalan areas at night than in downtown. they dont bother us.
Homelessness is not as big problem in conservative cities, but there is an explanation for it. The main reason for homelessness is fentanyl, and other drugs addiction believe it or not. If you do not believe me, you can find Michael Shellenberger's interviews here on UA-cam. Liberal cities have laws that attract homeless because addicts can support their addiction there more easily. The main one is you are allowed to steal from stores for up to $950 in Cali, and no one will bother you, police will not even come even if they had an officer available. In my town the law says you can steal up to $500 worth of items, and that nothing, so there are no as many homeless like in Cali but we have almost as good camping weather as southern Cali. I go to Texas, and they do not have such law that you can just steal from stores as you wish, so their addicts migrates to the west coast where they can simply support their addiction. Stealing from stores, they call it boosting.
I agree with your comment. Most homelessness is due to drug addiction and mental illness brought on by drugs. That's why I have little sympathy for the homeless who are homeless by choice so they can continue their drug use. However, I know that some people became homeless because of job loss, illness, or other reasons. But, I think the majority are drug addicts.
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.
Fire Biden, he has lost his head completely and utterly, trump is worse. when Americans find a decent leader well, there are none out there period but that rule is absurd.
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.
I left Colorado in 2004, just before the potheads over took everything. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a puff or two but the sudden legalization of weed destroyed the state. I moved to Florida and bought a sailboat. F CO
*Section 2 of 3.* 7/28/2022 in Buckhorn, Kentucky there is historic flooding creating more climate-refugees; exacerbating the housing shortage. 7/29/2022 All the residents of Fish Pond, Kentucky have lost everything due to flood waters reaching the roofs of homes. So St. Louis, Buckhorn, Fish Pond, and Austin have lots of vacant land a 30 minute bus ride from the city. Where shelters provided by FEMA are established into campgrounds for 1,000 homeless families. PAR
Those houses at 6:05 we're going for $905,000 in 2017. That's in 5 points. Well all those areas are camps for the homeless. Trash, feces and urine stains everywhere. Who's gonna pay a million dollars to live in that?

DPD is totaly overwhelmed and their hands are tied. riots are common whenever they sweep districts. i have begun calling it "Gotham City," due to the absolute lawless nature of it.
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 4,000 beds!
You know, people really don't have much choice when they're homeless. Rent has doubled in the last 10 years here and wages have increased by 5%. Your videos are are shallow and condescending towards many who struggle through a rough time in their lives. The working poor also have nowhere to live, and they have a hard time keeping their jobs because of that. We need more affordable housing in this market, but that's impossible with the wealthy buying up all the properties and raising the rents. And just remember, Alabama collects more Federal tax money than they pay in, so my taxes help pay for your state's welfare.
D With subsidized for the homeless electric-cargo-bikes at all bus stops from companies like: _Wheels, Lime, Link, and Veo_ in the city and at the homeless encampment; so the working homeless can get to work. *Which are large 1,000 people disaster relief centers.* With trucked in water. Shared laundry, toilet, cooking, and shower-facilities. With restaurants, post office, and stores; just like a large campground. PAR
Unfortunately you missed an entire area near 20th and Broadway plus parks and encampments, you didn't show any of the tents at all, so I dont know what tour you chose maybe do another one?? nice drive through the good parts but there are tons of tent people there.
me and my wife came to Denver with a(( friend)) was supposed to get a place he take the money left us stranded I got there two days after this video was filmed I was homeless the entire month of May because I couldn't get resources to get to somewhere where I would have friends and family because everything was taken and my small time in Denver I watched a man beat the holy heck out of his girlfriend because she spoke a different language than him when she was stressed out on my birthday of May 6th somehow later that month not only was I outside and stranded I walked all the way 50 miles outside of Denver to try to get help by the time a State trooper found me and my wife walking he informed us that we were not allowed to do this and drove us all the way back in the Denver more specifically right outside of Aurora the only place that helped me I believe is closed this guy is not joking there really is nothing there for you I couldn't find a bathroom nine times out of 10 most people get mad at homeless people for not having a decent place to go to the bathroom but I can tell you what from my experience I didn't wantto use the bathroom outside there's really nowhere for you to go and most people get to go to the bathroom in their own house whatever hours strikes their fancy if there's no store nearby you have no money and you have to go to the bathroom how are you supposed to go?? I tried going to the mental hospital for help both of us the moment they realize I had no home and why my current predicament got me there I was faking trama and didn't need help I was told at 2am with my wife get out get a job do you know no place will hire you if you have an address anytime soon someone suggests to you to get a job when you're homeless it's literally like asking someone without a plane to get a pilot's license and fly their playing the same day. we as a society having disrespectful view of the situations we don't have to go through but you never know how someone got to their situation until you're in a situation quite similar luckily I eventually found a place in Denver that got me out of there my situation didn't get much worse it didn't get much better but I will say by the month of July I had my own one bedroom apartment in Bangor Maine though because Denver is such a lousy system for assistance they told me they did not have the money to get me all the way to Bangor so I got dropped off at Boston I arrived at the Boston terminal Greyhound station at 12:45 at night I then proceeded to walk from Boston Massachusetts through Salem all the way to Bangor Maine down The Greenway trail. someone once told me you can make excuses or you can make results but you can't make both. for anyone currently going through the homeless crisis I highly recommend you check out the Aurora crisis center if you get in I highly recommend you work the program you only get one month but if you're smart you can make that one month get you out of a bad situation it's all I needed I wasn't even there two weeks. if you're lucky and you're in Denver on certain days you can find places that will give you food you're only panhandling should probably be for a hotel room and if you have at least a reparable way of dealing with yourself I do recommend going to the motel 6 off of federal you can get your hotel room there for less than $100 more often than not and if you really do have access money I highly recommend you have to head to the Little Caesars and get yourself food it's not glamorous but it's an idea and it's a game plan and it worked for me. Colorado is a pipe dream you're showing what you're wanted to see Colorado has vastly turned into Oakland California from my personal experience cities you don't want to be homeless in Denver Colorado Oakland California Las Vegas Nevada Boston Massachusetts Salem Massachusetts. most of the other ones in the world go without saying
Well that's quite a story I'm glad you got out to a better place. I think a lot of people underestimate how easy it is for something like that to happen and for them to have nothing which is why I just find it so comical that low-wage people of all people are so judgmental about homelessness.
Wow thats disgusting, they need to clean it up.tourists will not go there.homless ness is every where but you dont behave like that.im am sorry that your city is like that we have others that are issues.
In front of the Capital building/Civic Center Park is the biggest open air drug market I have experienced. Everyone can see this..💉. "The Denver broncos really suck" 🤣
Id really like all who were involved in creating this video to please come and truly experience what being in the streets is like. We are not a species. We are human just like you. And in no way are we protected or allowed to torment the neighorhoods. In actuality alot of us try to keep our areas clean and protect our neighbors and businesses. Please explain the comment of the Denver Broncos and how your opinion of them sucking is relative to the problems i face daily as a woman living in the streets. And also please keep in mind that criminal activity does not apply to all homeless. And portraying as though it does is ignorant. If your goin to showcase denver, please find one subject and present the truth. You just grabbed all of denvers dirty laundry and labeled it "homeless" . This entire video is incorrect and bullshit. And god bless that you have the opportunity to pay your rent. Thats a small luxury that i truly miss.
I have lived in many cities in Colorado the liberal mentality was once restricted to Boulder County. Now the same mentality has grown to Denver and surrounding areas. Thank a liberal politician.
E of Parts A-F In the on-site factories the homeless population's workforce is used to make more homeless shelters from plastic-waste taken from the oceans and government subsidized Styrofoam; and electric car conversion kits which cost only $3,600 because _The Defense Production Act_ was invoked. _Which does not include the cost of batteries and installation._ PAR
they have dismantled almost all public bathrooms. there used to be bathrooms all over the place, but they got shut down around the time "stoner hill," was cracked down on. the police have not stopped the open air market in civic center park.
Denver has democrats to thank for this. They made their bed, now it is their problem. There are over 30k immigrants there now to add to the problem. So glad I left

It's ashamed, when I arrived in Denver in the 70's, it was a beautiful and clean city for it's size.
Damn. Denver, too? I don't ski, but I always wanted to visit Colorado for their snow-covered slopes. This is unacceptable.
P *3 of 4* Those with income pay rent which is 10% of their net income to the homeless-village for their 2 person _Shelter 64;_ and 20% of their net income as rent for the 4 person _Shelter 100._ Their rent money goes to pay for: *childcare for working parents,* one free meal per day, and addiction services; in the community-room.
reminds me of the Philippines but without the homeless people outside and also without the thousands in rent and utilities. its like a real expensive Philippines.
Thanks!
Your welcome!
I had a layover in Denver Union Station. While waiting for the connecting train I went to get dinner. There was a homeless kid in a restaurant that got caught stealing tips off table. Denver Union Station is beautiful as far as architecture goes, but I didn't want to be there any longer than I had to.
One word for the problem. Democrats!
So tell me why his Republican state of Alabama takes $2.17 of federal money for every dollar they pay in federal taxes? Colorado takes less from the feds than we pay in. In other words, we in Colorado pay towards Alabama and many other red state's welfare.
this the truth for all American cities. sadly they don't want to build homes for the homeless.
I can list a million and one flaws about my city (Chicago) but one thing we don’t have a lot of, is homelessness. It’s just not that common here at all. Murders, violent crime, segregation, harsh weather, and sky high costs of living, sure. But homelessness, rare.
That’s because Chicago gets hella cold. Denver gets cold too but nothing like Chicago
Makes me sad to see it ever since I was an adolescent but the problem has only gotten worse up til now. The area you drove by downtown is also right by my high school sadly. An a specific store you drove by on colfax next to the mlk library provides alcohol an tobacco to minors with no I.D is another reason that area is frequented.
I used to live in Denver and it was nice until the mid 90's, that's when CA started invading. I lived there for 35 years.
John Elway is the man and we loved our Bronco's back then.
I moved out about 6 years ago, housing cost's just got too ridiculous and the people got real weird after marijuana was legalized, too many people!
Now with all the illegals crossing into our country, expect the same all over.
I do think M is turned out society into a bunch of wierdos. plenty of illegals where we live about 1/3 of the city and we love going there for good food never once felt unsafe or threatened. we go to food trucks at 2 AM sometimes no issues. they really wont dare harm an American among themselves is fair game tho. i honestly feel saver in the guatemalan areas at night than in downtown. they dont bother us.
Homelessness is not as big problem in conservative cities, but there is an explanation for it. The main reason for homelessness is fentanyl, and other drugs addiction believe it or not. If you do not believe me, you can find Michael Shellenberger's interviews here on UA-cam. Liberal cities have laws that attract homeless because addicts can support their addiction there more easily. The main one is you are allowed to steal from stores for up to $950 in Cali, and no one will bother you, police will not even come even if they had an officer available. In my town the law says you can steal up to $500 worth of items, and that nothing, so there are no as many homeless like in Cali but we have almost as good camping weather as southern Cali. I go to Texas, and they do not have such law that you can just steal from stores as you wish, so their addicts migrates to the west coast where they can simply support their addiction. Stealing from stores, they call it boosting.
I agree with your comment. Most homelessness is due to drug addiction and mental illness brought on by drugs. That's why I have little sympathy for the homeless who are homeless by choice so they can continue their drug use. However, I know that some people became homeless because of job loss, illness, or other reasons. But, I think the majority are drug addicts.
@@noreenryan1095 in my town, all street homeless are fentanyl 💊 addicts. What's sad is so many teenagers and young ones.
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.
Fire Biden, he has lost his head completely and utterly, trump is worse. when Americans find a decent leader well, there are none out there period but that rule is absurd.
What a shame. I think U.S. Should consider focusing on home instead of building other home that they'll never get to live in.
Where do they go when it snows?
I wish we'd distinguish between drug addicted/mentally ill folks resisting treatment and true homeless people.
hard to tell, they prey on the ill with their worthless life
Bums really make it hard for homeless people who want change as much as politicians who profit off this
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.
Are rents twenty grand a month yet? And will that be enough to satisfy the money addicted gentrifiers?
@ 10:40 “Denver broncos really suck” 😂😂😂😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hope everything's Ok!❤
This is a city with almost no duckoff spots. Even so whole villages pop up in the only secluded out of the way low maintenance areas.
I saw an article that in Denver there is 23,000 vacant apartments but there is only 11,000 homeless in Denver
I've definitely didn't like your other videos. But I lived slept on the snow. And I know you know what I mean to be outside.
Thank you for your service Jose & Katie. Unrelated question: between Tennessee & Florida which would be the better option to move in your opinion ? 💚
🤔 jobs TN. Retire FL
Check out the job market first. Start with Craigslist.
Neither
Florida is ass and has no good career opportunities. Coming from. Florida Native. (Lived in all parts of the state)
Some areas have cops guarding the grocery stores now. And then ones that don't have cops have some beefed up security guards.
Yes and working there was such fun, I could just imagine shopping there...
I left Colorado in 2004, just before the potheads over took everything. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a puff or two but the sudden legalization of weed destroyed the state.
I moved to Florida and bought a sailboat.
F CO
You are going to need it.
I love colorado, homeless people or not I'm here for the mountains etc.
The homeless have FIRST RIGHTS everywhere it seems, more than taxpaying citizens.
I think they should have a control to rent. the government has to put limits on the landlords. and so many people could rent and maintain their home
Government needs to stop printing money without lending it to the people. That's where the landlords keep raising the rent
"The denver broncos really suck." LMFAOOOO
Thats low key why they all mad 🤣
this is unacceptable. colorado is failing its people. we must ban panhandling
I live in Aurora. The state went to hell with legal pot.
thats what everyone told me there
It was bad before legalizing it
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN It only got worse. tho
Colfax is better because of legal pot.
Why because weed came legal? Or was the housing prices already going up and homelessness going up and weed was legalized at same time.
*Section 2 of 3.* 7/28/2022 in Buckhorn, Kentucky there is historic flooding creating more climate-refugees; exacerbating the housing shortage. 7/29/2022 All the residents of Fish Pond, Kentucky have lost everything due to flood waters reaching the roofs of homes. So St. Louis, Buckhorn, Fish Pond, and Austin have lots of vacant land a 30 minute bus ride from the city. Where shelters provided by FEMA are established into campgrounds for 1,000 homeless families.
PAR
So ,,, anyone carrying a backpack is a homeless?
I left Commerce City for the rural life. Good move!
DENVER DO SOMETHING FOR GOD'S SAKE ❤❤❤ this is insane, you higher ups get moving on HOUSING FOR PEOPLE
Those houses at 6:05 we're going for $905,000 in 2017. That's in 5 points. Well all those areas are camps for the homeless. Trash, feces and urine stains everywhere. Who's gonna pay a million dollars to live in that?
specially when you can camp out for free LOL - how bad was the homelessness in 2017?
is it true the legal W caused more homeless?
Denver has been so mismanaged…
Mayor Hancock allowed too much gentrification… And poor people have NO WHERE to go..
Dont go to San Francisco or San Diego used to be beautiful the embarkadaro no more golden gate park heard they are in the park that's state so I don't think so on that one
We all pay the price for homeless people ☹
This is done on purpose. High cost of living due to price gouging, low wages = This. The rich are getting richer in the meantime.
I saw more violence being perpetrated on the homeless from the housed, and you sir are part of the problem.
It's actually very true sad to say. They choose to live on the streets and panhandle. So many job opportunities out here but they don't want to work.
Are the job opportunities providing incomes that match the cost of living? The cost of living just rose 6% this past year.
Some cant work because of they have mental problems
@Marcus Leja nope many refuse to work I was homeless and I know...don't believe me hang out and watch homeless at 2323 Curtis sit and even refuse to do 10 min chores for clothes...and they won't move till foodline time...At the Church of Basillica after Thanksgiving they give $20 out just to attend xchristmass service and 2 or 3 times homeless assaulted priests to steal money
Give it a try
This country is very very very very Annoying and that is why public safety address in Denver Colorado is the No 1 priority
DPD is totaly overwhelmed and their hands are tied.
riots are common whenever they sweep districts.
i have begun calling it "Gotham City," due to the absolute lawless nature of it.
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 4,000 beds!
This voiceover and choppy editing is worse than the homeless crisis
yo mama
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS further solidifies the fact that Florida and Texas have more homeless than Colorado by large only being beat by California
Downtown is dangerous
They make money in war,no money to be made helping poor!
The Denver Broncos are pretty sad.
You know, people really don't have much choice when they're homeless. Rent has doubled in the last 10 years here and wages have increased by 5%. Your videos are are shallow and condescending towards many who struggle through a rough time in their lives. The working poor also have nowhere to live, and they have a hard time keeping their jobs because of that. We need more affordable housing in this market, but that's impossible with the wealthy buying up all the properties and raising the rents. And just remember, Alabama collects more Federal tax money than they pay in, so my taxes help pay for your state's welfare.
I know that guy at 12.34 he lives in my apartment building and usually begs on the corner in front of the apartment here,lol he's not even homeless
❤
D With subsidized for the homeless electric-cargo-bikes at all bus stops from companies like: _Wheels, Lime, Link, and Veo_ in the city and at the homeless encampment; so the working homeless can get to work. *Which are large 1,000 people disaster relief centers.* With trucked in water. Shared laundry, toilet, cooking, and shower-facilities. With restaurants, post office, and stores; just like a large campground.
PAR
The beginning of the end for Colorado was when we legalized weed in 2012.
Whoa! Sad!
Unfortunately you missed an entire area near 20th and Broadway plus parks and encampments, you didn't show any of the tents at all, so I dont know what tour you chose maybe do another one?? nice drive through the good parts but there are tons of tent people there.
me and my wife came to Denver with a(( friend)) was supposed to get a place he take the money left us stranded I got there two days after this video was filmed I was homeless the entire month of May because I couldn't get resources to get to somewhere where I would have friends and family because everything was taken and my small time in Denver I watched a man beat the holy heck out of his girlfriend because she spoke a different language than him when she was stressed out on my birthday of May 6th somehow later that month not only was I outside and stranded I walked all the way 50 miles outside of Denver to try to get help by the time a State trooper found me and my wife walking he informed us that we were not allowed to do this and drove us all the way back in the Denver more specifically right outside of Aurora the only place that helped me I believe is closed this guy is not joking there really is nothing there for you I couldn't find a bathroom nine times out of 10 most people get mad at homeless people for not having a decent place to go to the bathroom but I can tell you what from my experience I didn't wantto use the bathroom outside there's really nowhere for you to go and most people get to go to the bathroom in their own house whatever hours strikes their fancy if there's no store nearby you have no money and you have to go to the bathroom how are you supposed to go??
I tried going to the mental hospital for help both of us the moment they realize I had no home and why my current predicament got me there I was faking trama and didn't need help I was told at 2am with my wife get out get a job do you know no place will hire you if you have an address anytime soon someone suggests to you to get a job when you're homeless it's literally like asking someone without a plane to get a pilot's license and fly their playing the same day. we as a society having disrespectful view of the situations we don't have to go through but you never know how someone got to their situation until you're in a situation quite similar luckily I eventually found a place in Denver that got me out of there my situation didn't get much worse it didn't get much better but I will say by the month of July I had my own one bedroom apartment in Bangor Maine though because Denver is such a lousy system for assistance they told me they did not have the money to get me all the way to Bangor so I got dropped off at Boston I arrived at the Boston terminal Greyhound station at 12:45 at night I then proceeded to walk from Boston Massachusetts through Salem all the way to Bangor Maine down The Greenway trail.
someone once told me you can make excuses or you can make results but you can't make both. for anyone currently going through the homeless crisis I highly recommend you check out the Aurora crisis center if you get in I highly recommend you work the program you only get one month but if you're smart you can make that one month get you out of a bad situation it's all I needed I wasn't even there two weeks.
if you're lucky and you're in Denver on certain days you can find places that will give you food you're only panhandling should probably be for a hotel room and if you have at least a reparable way of dealing with yourself I do recommend going to the motel 6 off of federal you can get your hotel room there for less than $100 more often than not and if you really do have access money I highly recommend you have to head to the Little Caesars and get yourself food it's not glamorous but it's an idea and it's a game plan and it worked for me. Colorado is a pipe dream you're showing what you're wanted to see Colorado has vastly turned into Oakland California from my personal experience cities you don't want to be homeless in Denver Colorado Oakland California Las Vegas Nevada Boston Massachusetts Salem Massachusetts. most of the other ones in the world go without saying
This was a run on sentence. Very hard to read.
Well that's quite a story I'm glad you got out to a better place. I think a lot of people underestimate how easy it is for something like that to happen and for them to have nothing which is why I just find it so comical that low-wage people of all people are so judgmental about homelessness.
😅 the Denver Broncos really suck
True
its sad to see a homeless person right next to a BMW supercar
Motivation to go get $
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS yeah denver feels like a fever dream at this point
Eye opening
Too bad Denver WAS a nice place now keep it, and it will get alot worse .
Enjoy it residents they will eventually come to your backyard
What's that dia?
Wow thats disgusting, they need to clean it up.tourists will not go there.homless ness is every where but you dont behave like that.im am sorry that your city is like that we have others that are issues.
That's a huge lie home people in denver get kicked around
In front of the Capital building/Civic Center Park is the biggest open air drug market I have experienced. Everyone can see this..💉. "The Denver broncos really suck" 🤣
And right down the street from the police station at that lmao smh
Id really like all who were involved in creating this video to please come and truly experience what being in the streets is like. We are not a species. We are human just like you. And in no way are we protected or allowed to torment the neighorhoods. In actuality alot of us try to keep our areas clean and protect our neighbors and businesses. Please explain the comment of the Denver Broncos and how your opinion of them sucking is relative to the problems i face daily as a woman living in the streets. And also please keep in mind that criminal activity does not apply to all homeless. And portraying as though it does is ignorant. If your goin to showcase denver, please find one subject and present the truth. You just grabbed all of denvers dirty laundry and labeled it "homeless" . This entire video is incorrect and bullshit. And god bless that you have the opportunity to pay your rent. Thats a small luxury that i truly miss.
Whats happened is that they used to work construction now foreign nationals have those jobs hemmed up.
I have lived in many cities in Colorado the liberal mentality was once restricted to Boulder County. Now the same mentality has grown to Denver and surrounding areas. Thank a liberal politician.
E of Parts A-F In the on-site factories the homeless population's workforce is used to make more homeless shelters from plastic-waste taken from the oceans and government subsidized Styrofoam; and electric car conversion kits which cost only $3,600 because _The Defense Production Act_ was invoked. _Which does not include the cost of batteries and installation._
PAR
Where's the animals have not told you my or her name stop dog threatening
But then try Union Station when Homeless shoot up and won't come out
I heard the bathrooms are being guarded by armed security/police
they have dismantled almost all public bathrooms. there used to be bathrooms all over the place, but they got shut down around the time "stoner hill," was cracked down on. the police have not stopped the open air market in civic center park.
Denver has democrats to thank for this. They made their bed, now it is their problem. There are over 30k immigrants there now to add to the problem. So glad I left
Denver is amazing all the homeless where white
TG I'm a country boy!!
Oh 😮I thought that California was the only state that had homelessness will atleast everyone makes you believe that
Yes, Denver sucks the big one
I'm talking ten inch!😂 So please don't move here ever.
It is absolutely disgusting now i move back to hawaii atleast in hawaii is more pretty then denver zombieland
