I really enjoy walking around Denver, usually starting in one of the neighborhoods and ending up downtown. It is a thriving and fast growing city, but like all cities these days, there are lots of underlying issues, and many of society's problems are on full display. Stray away from the upscale Lower Downtown (LoDo) or Lower Highlands (LoHi) neighborhoods, and you see large homeless camps on the sidewalks, people on the 16th Street Mall screaming about God knows what, people sleeping in doorways, and all manner of other downtrodden souls. And Denver is not nearly as bad as many, if not most, big cities. What the solution is, I do not know. A sad state of affairs for our country.
