I went on my daily run a few days ago in Denver. I ran down the length of the 16th Street Mall as I often do when I’m here and not in Vail. It’s a distance of four miles both ways from my condo near the Denver Art Museum.
Homeless people are a common a sight on the mall, as familiar as the office workers, shoppers, tourists, skateboards, turbo-charged scooters and bicycles are on this popular pedestrian-friendly strip.
I’ve been running past homeless people in the light of morning and the dark of night ever since I moved to the neighborhood three years ago. The homeless are not monolithic.
