I know the purpose of this thread was probably to help propel Denver's image; however, representing this neighborhood as some complete yuppie haven is to spit on Denver's history and reality.

I KIND OF agree with you, BUT there this is Part 1 of his tour, so maybe he'll show more of that stuff in Part 2. With that said, 5 Points isn't nearly as bad as you just made it out to be. I have a feeling that you're mainly talking about Lawson Park, which is bad, but it's also filled with normal neighborhood people playing baseball, kickball, etc., all the time. My first apartment when I moved to Denver (3 years ago) was in 5 Points, so I have personal experience that involves more than a single trip.
