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.

FORCED REHAB WITH HOUSING IS THE ONLY WAY FOR STABILITY, PERIOD.

Lived in Denver and homelessness is very profitable for politicians and their friends. This news story is PR/advertisement for more funding, a very small amount of which goes to homeless.

I’m from Los Angeles and just went to Denver a couple of days ago to see The Cure show. I went downtown with my buddy and his family to a Brazilian BBQ. We took the train in from Glendale. There were shady people smoking something out of tin foil. The restaurant was near Union Station and there were quite a few homeless people around. It kinda surprised me. It actually reminded me of Downtown L.A., which is next to Skid row. Downtown L.A. is all hipster next to Skid Row and they blend together near the border.

The winter cold nice opening clap and close.

Chinese money laundering through real estate is beautiful isn't it. Politicians love it. America loves it too?

I was homeless in denver for a couple years and alot of people i knew all had the same story how they started using, it was all because of pharmaceuticals like oxycontin etc. If anything why aren't we going after the CEOs of those pharmaceuticals? They need to pay up for resources. I was able to get clean after i got into a house. While on streets i held signs, picked up trash, and i would take work if offered but it would never last long because they always wanted something more from me and if i declined to sleep with them id get the boot. I was constantly harassed by people trying to traffic me, they steal my IDs, glasses, and anything else to degrade me. I know this is all my fault for even doing drugs so im not looking for sympathy i just wanted to show a perspective from someone that was there and got out of it. Ive been clean for almost four years now.

We really need to stop voting democrat in Colorado

Human connection? Seriously? A person under the influence can't be trusted at all... period. Why would anyone feel bad about treating these people with guarded fear? Hello? How nieve is the person behind this video clip!

I became homeless in June. We get harassed a lot now.

Every weekend I go into downtown Denver. It seems to get worse.

Compassionate Rehabilitation works

Drugs is a response to homelessness, and also to unhousedlessness

There is no amount of money or funds to help these people. The only answer for them is to want to help themself, to choose a better life. Until then, they will always be a torn person on the street.

EVERY CHILD 🚸 SHALL HAVE A HOME 🏡🤯

Someone , somewhere said people are lazy about education but do you know what their mental capacity is? Also, these apps KEEP some people from working! Help people step into jobs! Help people get homes! STOP throwing money at people, it is a disabling thing! Let people have the income they already have but help them find jobs

It is not easy to listen to what is said with this constant music.

The WHO ranks France's healthcare system that costs 1/3 that of America; #1 in the world. While the rate of maternal morbidity [mothers dying from childbirth] in TexASS is the highest, not just in the USA, but in the entire civilized world!!!

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

Colorado is evicting all smokers. They are doing this to themselves.

Who would have guessed that a market does not effectively and efficiently distribute? Property owners have no disincentive to increase rent or to jack up the prices of homes. People lose their livelihood so others can make a quick buck.

Well, all the former college students who are homeless today. Will not have to worry about paying their student loan off. You and I the Tax Payers will take care of that

I still remember cold

Stop giving them free handouts. It’s that simple

Most people in Colorado are just a rent hike away from homelessness. There needs to be laws against rent hikes

We will never reduce street homelessness without reducing the amount of fentanyl drug available on our streets. Fentanyl is everywhere and so cheap. Many will die from overdose, or drugs related violence.

Purge??🤔

And yet I own three properties in Hawaii on SSI.

Ok! Don’t so drugs and blame others for your fate!!

WHY ARE THE HOMELESS IN HILO HAWAII GETTING ARRESTED WHERE THEY FALL ASLEEP?

Great

THERE BY BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GOOOO I😔🙏

There's a lot of empty houses and apartments across the country and a lot of jobs to be filled, costs need to come down and pay needs to go up. For the homeless that are trying good luck to the drug addicts and people that choose to be homeless I don't know what to tell you other than get your shit together.

The constant drum beat of human rights and never a peep about human responsibilities. YOU are always responsible for your actions. It’s tough Love… but I was always told growing up; “You’ve made your bed, now lay in it.”

Hurry to Venice beach or San Diego before it starts getting cold.

Fresh plantations and fresh soil dirt. I am told I did not make enough

This is unbelievable. It looks like a third world country.

Just because I'm homeless doesn't give you the right to classify me as a worthless addicted human being. I get my disability and I don't contribute to seedy criminal underbelly anywhere I go. I do my very best to stay presentable and I don't litter. I stay away from others that choose to live like that. For me it is a choice. I worked hard all my life and I refuse to give away my minimal income to a society that has made it damn near impossible for the working class American to make with out a government handout.! The problem doesn't lie at the bottom. It starts at the APEX.!!! The hatred and greed in this country is down right appalling. I'm of the firm belief that bureaucrats do nothing for this country but robbed the coffers. Proud to be a old Hobo 🤓

Not all people that are homeless are not on drugs . And Colorado is not doing enough to help these people that are on the street ,not to mention don't have anything to eat ..........smfh

At least stay in the car and NEVER make a mess...Keep your vehicle clean....Stay stealthy don't be so obvious...smh

P A of Parts A-F *Due to the destruction of housing* caused by catastrophic-runaway-anthropogenic-global-warming [CRAGW] extreme weather events; there are housing shortages all over America which *is causing rent increases; and even more homelessness!* The FEMA operated homeless-communities do not require residents to check out, there is no sign-in and sign-out issues as they are long-term shelters; which provide the privacy of individual living spaces. Where the shelter residents can fell safe from the other camp residences. *Which removes many of the objections those homeless living in tents who refuse to use city established homeless-shelters; have voiced.*

Why not put the homeless in concentration camps?

Too many cold hearted privileged people who have jobs because of other peoples misfortune..history of stolen indigenous lands’ karma

Using old hotels and motels for human beings less fortunate that have been abandoned due to problems with the economy is wise.

No person thinks this can happen to them

Bullying is on the rise, you mean!

That's not a crack pipe. That's a meth bubble

And no affordable housing in trinidad co for low to extremely low income

Liberal US as always from this channel

Let’s be real, we all know where this is headed, toward a very Final Solution.

P B of Parts A-F The B!den administration has proposed *Christian, compassionate,* homeless solutions *but Republicans* do not want the FEMA homeless encampments within their cities; which *have the highest number of homeless families.* The solution is FEMA coordinated homeless communities a 30 minute bus ride, 24/7, every 20 minutes, from the FEMA established homeless shelters; to the city. *Established on land made vacant due to global-warming extreme weather events; that no one should rebuild on.* P

Housing first is essential! Shame on the politicians who should and could be making a difference and get people off the street regardless of their mental state or drug addictions but they do nothing! They need to get homeless people housing first. They should be designated fenced in places with tiny houses for them. To just allow them to live & sleep on the streets is unhealthy, dangerous and will only get worse. There also needs to be much more affordable housing programs nation wide. Not just for immigrants, blacks and Hispanic's but for all Americans especially senior citizens, disabled and people with low income. Rent is way too high, and even if one gets a low cost housing voucher most apt complexes still go by your income and credit score which is ridiculous because those are the main reasons they are applying for low cost housing. So they make it even harder for people who are accepted to get low cost housing to get it! The laws and policy rules are horrible and they need to be changed. If you call they tell you your on your own, we don't find housing for you. So even people who are accepted for low cost housing have to jump through hoops and go through a ton of red tape and are treated unfairly. Not counting the $50 to $100 fees per application for a apt. Its disgusting! One day these crooked politicians will have to answer to God as "God does not allow the guilty to go unpunished".

Democrat living at it finest

Homelessness and living in one's car are spiking because big government delivered a one-two punch to working Americans: The COVID lock-downs and the inflation that resulted from COVID subsidies. All of this misery is the direct result of big government action.

That was in a crack pipe that man had that was a meth pipe lol I have friends that do that

JB sold out USA farmland 100 million acres along with 5 million barrel of oil reserves.resuls is this

Some ppl can afford the high rent..during pandemic landlords rose rent hundred if dollars..! Then Eviction then homeless & selling everything to rent a hotel & use Uber..or pay for application fee..etc..meantime it snows..back to square one. No home..no car..no job..snow cold ..screwed. It be lucky to be migrant in NYC in 5 star Watson hotel & demand more better living conditions.

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.

Call for sheriff's reinforcement have arrived

A guaranteed income of $1,800 a month given to all Americans making less than $1,500 will end homelessness, crime, and boost the economy so much that the increase in tax revenues pays for the stipend given to Americans to keep them out of poverty and homeless.

WITH ALL THE PRAYERS TO OVER COME HOMELESSNSS, ALL THE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS, MOST JUST WANT A HAND UP. BUT WE ALSO KNOW TROUBLED HOMELESS PEOPLE THAT BRING DOWN PROPERTY VALUES AND CAUSE ALOT OF ROBBERIES, RAPES, ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME "SHOOTINGS MAY TAKE PLACE IN THOSE COMMUNITIES " PEOPLE WILL FEEL THEY'VE DONE THEM A FAVOR! PRAYERS!

Americans need the ASSURANCE of housing as a HUMAN RIGHT amended to the CONSTITUTION for HOME AUTONOMY through HOME OWNERSHIP for EVERYONE and ALL. No one should have to 'apply' or 'qualify' for a home. Rentals should be reserved for vacation space and hotels, not a permanent home. 'Real estate investors' and 'land lords' should be abolished and have no place in a civilized society.

These doctors should do their jobs and stop derailing people to " Behavior Health"!

Homelessness: *Paragraph 2 of 3.* In order to instantly create dignified shelter for the working poor; weighted down with college-loan-debt and *30% rent increases.* *Millions of American families can be provided with prefabricated homes made from the plastic taken from the oceans.* The *plastic-waste is melted at sea* with wind, solar, and wave energy. Then made into prefabricated, plastic, easily-assembled pieces. This is the new definition of a “mobile-home” that are prefabricated into campgrounds with common: shower, cooking, and toilet facilities.

*Section 3 of 3.* FEMA run homeless encampments share shower, laundry, toilet, cooking-facilities, stores, restaurants, dumpsters, and a post office where everyone has a POB; just like a large campground. No trash or crime problems for the cities and the working poor have a dry place to sleep and store their stuff. 24/7 every 20 minutes bus service connects the homeless encampment to the city. Where *subsidized for the homeless,* electric-cargo-bikes are provided by companies such as: _Wheels, Lime, Link, and Veo._ Food banks operate out of the homeless-communities where free ice is provided. Amen.

That wasn’t a crack pipe, was for meth. Just saying

I say get rid of these damned tents, thieves hide things in there!

lots of homeless people

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

It cost $50,000 a year to keep an innocent man in prison. Giving him a guaranteed income of $1,800 a month costs only $21,600 a year. For everyone making only $11 a hour with no healthcare and dental benefits. A guaranteed income of $1,800 means the difference between; being homeless and paying the rent.

Thats not a crack pipe thats a meth pipe lol get it right haha!

Too bad you need a college degree to rent an apartment. Basic needs shelter, food, and being warm. Should not require a college degree. They should be a right not a privilege. A car, boat, and vacation, those should require a collage degree. A privilege! The world needs to learn the difference and STOP the greed.

"Housing is a human right". Wonder what happens if I become a druggie social worker like her and tell my landlord that.

Hard to feel for convicts and drug addicts. Rehab is critical for the homeless.

Plenty of jobs that are hiring, PLENTY!!!!

*Paragraph 4 of 4.* 89 million Americans is 27% of the *working* population! Or a $50,000 a year stipend for 40 million American families of 4 making less than $15 an hour; *so that they are NOT made permanently homeless.* Amen.

You're forgetting about the people that are homeless because they can't afford first last and deposit for rent that are on SSI I was homeless for over 5 years back when they had the homeless killings and the reason why I was homeless is because I could not afford rent

It's just going to get worse.we are being priced out because of Greed.and no one really gives a Dam.about IT rent goes up every 6 months or once a year.middle class is no more it's the Rich and greedy and the struggling and poor people.

It is a fact that the city of Austin has suffered environmental destruction of its housing and infrastructure due to catastrophic-runaway-anthropogenic-global-warming [CRAGW]. Today 7/26/2022 the St. Louis region experienced 7.02 inches of rain which is making many more people homeless due to the widespread flooding. So both St. Louis and Austin has lots of vacant land a 30 minute bus ride from the city. Where shelters provided by FEMA are established into campgrounds for 5,000 homeless families. PAR

Stop scams and stop using people to put others down that's one being problem

SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING FOR GOD'S SAKE 😢😢😢😢

Try reporting on the outrageous rents and homelessness in Trinidad and surrounding communities The rents are so high here and no jobs . Report on that ask the people who are trying to survive here

The US prefers to take care of other countries than its own country... most of the state funds are sent to other countries while its own people suffer from hunger and homelessness 👍

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.

I say give them aurora

Stop the shadyness people sending people to hurt others and stripping them down of all survival means. people play useless mind games just to make money that is someone goes through pain of theirs and put others through that just to feel okay or do worst, too many psychological games what's the need to proof how smart people are?

Thank dems

Just one of those days where there’s a lot to cover in the news. I wish that there had been some statistics on how many beds are available for people who have Medicaid and addiction but no legal charges…. We wait until the last minute because we don’t have the money to help people. And then we punish them mercilessly for needing help. Thomas Moore said it best, “first we create thieves and then we punish them for it. “

We live in a school bus that we bought for a few thousand dollars. The tax payers pay for years for these school buses and when they are taken out of commission, many still run great. Others can be parked on public property anywhere on a vacant public lot and with a few solar panels and pallet wood and become a shelter. Diesel heaters cost $160 and take an hour to install and use very little fuel. School buses are a common sense answer to a homeless crisis.

I’m of the belief that if one isn’t contributing to society more than they are taking/interfering with society then one shouldn’t be allowed to remain in society. There has to be a line somewhere, right? And within that boundary I’m all for progressive improvements. Not saying throw the people to the wolves, just that we need a system that helps prevent, and doesn’t incentivize, a complete surrender to human apathy and/or lethargy. Why else should society, mainly the working class, have to bear the burden of such lost humans? Respectfully

Who would have thought that "Demolition Man" would be the most prescient of all the 80s/90s dystopian movies.

P 1 of 4* Cities can eliminate homeless tent cities by replacing them with *homeless-communities* using _Pallet Shelter's_ existing *homeless shelter village components.* The _Community Room_ sells for $37,000 and serves as a shared laundry room, restaurant, *child daycare center,* and addiction services center. 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_ 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.

*Section 2 of 2* The _Shelter 64's_ insulated walls, heat, and air-conditioning provide personal climate control; and electricity powers the interior lights and outlets for personal device charging. Spacious with 9-foot vaulted ceilings. Providing these shelters and an $1,800 a month minimum income, to those who have lost everything, is the *Christian* thing to do. *C l i c k* on _Pallet Shelter's_ *Build a Shelter Village* to see all the existing components to, in one day, create a homeless village for 1,000 families displaced by extreme weather events. Amen.

WHY IS 2 MILLION DOLLARS FOR COUNTY HOUSING FOR THE STATE OF HAWAII IN QUESTION?

opening up your house for homeless people to take a shower? that's not going to end well my dude

Rehab works if every job is a living local commute.

good odds most homeless want to live that way , if there someone want to change then do what you can, but the true homeless type give them nothing, if they od on drugs do not save them, let they have their way , it will improve the world

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!

Serious problem with pure capitalism. No social system, the gap between poor and rich opened sky-high, the middle class is shrinking, more and more people can’t get good education, which make them easy to manipulate and now you arrived at the elections when those people vote for a far-right populist like Trump. US democracy fell becase the country didn’t care about its own citizens and thought that everyone can have the same life because of equal chances. That’s the big lie of this country. You can’t have democracy without normal living standards and good education for EVERYONE. The richest 1% stole your and the world’s future.
