30 years ago when I moved to CO there were areas of downtown Denver that were dangerous, crime ridden, drugged up. Then those areas were gentrified, cleaned up, restaurants and bars...and now the city is declining down the back side of that parabolic curve into shitholehood.
Colorado still has great areas but overall the poleass, dominion and his ilk have ruined it.
Haven’t been in town much at all since moving up into the foothills. It was being gentrified when I was getting down there. My wife worked down on 18th and Larimer which is near 5 Points before she moved offices a cpl years ago.
Near the rescue mission, VOA, so many homeless and drugs and prostitution. Legalizing pot as one of the first states brought the dregs from all the other states and they’ve multiplied.
She used to walk from her office to lunch on the 16th St Mall and from the light rail and bus station and towards the end of her time down there she’s be harassed, pan handled, and feel threatened more times than not.
So I’m guessing it’s a shit hole worse than it was. Typical general trend of Colorado these days.

How's Five Points? It was a shithole when I was there.
