    Homeless Couple Having Sex In Public Last Straw: Denver Residents Moving Out

    Shame when people have to leave their home because the city wont control homeless or provide shelter for them.

    I can read between the lines and the highlighted text towards the bottom tells me that the police were told to hands off the homeless and since they have been told to hands off the problem has gotten much worse, so the residents and taxpayers suffer and maybe have to move.

    Sad situation

    A young couple in Denver’s West City Park neighborhood have put their home up for sale saying problems with Denver’s homeless population are driving them out of the city.

    “Increasingly every day it’s the number one reason I want to sell is because of the homeless situation.”
    Their complaint is part of a growing chorus of Denver residents saying homeless issues have encroached into neighborhoods that previously saw minimal impact from Denver’s homeless population. One Denver police officer who patrols Denver’s Capitol Hill corridor told CBS4 60 to 80 percent of his service calls are from residents dealing with homeless men and women causing problems.
    Many residents contacted by CBS4 say the problems have grown exponentially within the last year.
    The couple selling their house said they were constantly dealing with needles, feces and used condoms in their alley. They say on occasion, the homeless would walk into their backyard, take their patio cushions and use them for sleeping. But they say the last straw came on the night of Sept. 12, when they say two transients repeatedly had loud sex just outside their front door.
    “It was obnoxious and went on for quite awhile,” said the woman.
    She and her husband called Denver’s 911 dispatch center four times requesting police assistance.
    On one of the calls, the woman tells a 911 dispatcher,”We are trying to sleep and homeless people are having sex on the porch nextdoor. This is absurd this is happening.”


    After multiple calls, a dispatcher said police had higher priority calls to deal with.

    “I feel unsafe with them right now … I feel endangered,” the woman told the operator.
    Just west of Denver’s Cheesman Park, another resident told CBS4, “There didn’t used to be a problem.” She moved into her home more than eight years ago but says “I’ve never felt this uncomfortable.

    Ahh , the realities of poverty and untreated mental illness is hitting the uptown neighborhoods. They'll be better off moving out of the cesspool city, but probably should of sold before running their property values down
