You don't say. No one want's to go downtown anymore and overdose deaths are a daily thing that the news wont even report on now.
People are attacked by strung out junkies on a regular basis. The public transit system is a complete mess and people keep stealing the copper wiring so the light rail shuts down for weeks of repairs.
All this will serve to do is to burn a lot of money without any real results. Just like in LA, SF, Etc...

From the post:
"Less than 24 hours after being sworn in, new Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said he was declaring an emergency to combat growing homelessness in the city.
Johnston said the goal of the emergency declaration is to get 1,000 people access to housing by the end of the year.
The declaration will make it easier to mobilize city resources to achieve his goals, Johnston said. It will not only give the city access to more resources at the state and potentially federal levels but also bring city agencies together to focus on the issue. He focused on what it would mean for creating more temporary housing to get people off the streets."
