I call BS on the assertion by the homeless advocates that this unfairly targets anyone, except maybe those who smoke/vape.  I’d like to see Denver Homeless Out Loud’s statistics about ticketing.  My guess is that the non-homeless get the rules, and wait until they are off the mall before lighting up.  And that the homeless don’t get it, figure the rules don’t apply to them, and do whatever they damn well please (like they do now regarding public urination, defecation, weed smoking, etc.).  Since when did it become a crime to want to enjoy downtown without being accosted by a litany of homeless people, or the ill effects of their presence?
