I first encountered a rat one evening in a Target parking lot. When my daughter told me it was a rat, I went straight to the car and she went to get a photo of it since she's never seen one before. I assure you it wasn't little.

It’s a fair question: Have people experiencing homelessness moved to Denver for a free hotel room?. At least one man did. The mother of a missing man messaged me the other day to tell me she is looking for her son. She said he moved back to Denver from Florida thinking he could get a free hotel room as part of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s House1000 plan. Of course, those rooms all are full now. Also, most people who received the rooms were in established encampments that the mayor swept. There never were any rooms for people who might move to Denver one week to be housed the next.

Opinion: Did homeless people move to Denver for a free hotel room?

Migrant homeless encampment dwellers who have been swept from location to location by city crews finally won a reprieve Wednesday. On Wednesday, the city offered the encampment dwellers seven days of shelter instead of three, which was the original offer turned down by the campers. “It would hardly be a worthwhile respite before they would find themselves back on the streets with no support, scattered,” Housekeys Action Network Denver, or HAND, posted on Instagram.
