Denver doesn’t look very “vibrant,” to use the mayor’s term, when bus stops are transformed into open-air drug dens. In fact, the people who smoke meth and fentanyl in homeless encampments, in front of businesses and walking down the street are tarnishing the reputation of Denver’s unhoused neighbors.

I recently had a reader leave a comment on one of my articles about his own experience with homelessness. Here is what he had to say:. “I am homeless. Here's (a) CliffsNotes version. I was an ASE-certified master automotive technician with three advanced level certifications. I did it for 37 years and was one of the top diagnosticians in the city, if not country. Due to some health issues I had to leave that industry and now work as a building maintenance tech at a high-end Denver hotel. My former roommate passed away and the … landlord basically kicked me out. In the interim … I have had two cars stolen in two years. So, I am now homeless, with no car…. I am a highly skilled and extremely intelligent individual who makes a whopping $21 an hour. I walk and ride the bus all over. I see more and more regular people, with pets, kids, and everything they own living in cars. These are not drug addicts or people with mental health issues.”

In addition to collecting more than 8,000 used needles in the past year from Denver drug users, the Harm Reduction Action Center passed out 10,000 meth pipes and “snort kits,” according to a newsletter sent to its supporters Thursday. They also connected about 1,700 people to medical, mental health and substance abuse treatment.
