I don't think this is true. There is a large homeless population in Denver -- I would have a very hard time believing that they're hard pressed to be sleeping in parking lots or lined up around the shelters every night.
I don't know the answers, but raising the minimum wage once in a while makes perfect sense to me -- as does a pay cut for politicians, but I suppose that's not likely.
