Headline should read, “Amazingly, Denver does the right thing...”
Ping!
Isn't she the little attention-seeking chick that gets her script mixed up about abortion?
Yeah, OK.
And, how ‘bout all ‘dem messycans on their way from NM? Y’all gwine do the right thing there?
Long ago, idiots who proposed ridiculous initiatives were tarred, feathered and run out of town. Law and order were installed to make life better and safer. Now we have law and order in turmoil, and everything is going to sh*t. "Right to Survive" will mean having a gun as things get worse.
“...or sleeping in cars in public spaces.”
god knows, I’ve done that a few times over the years. Not because I was homeless - but because I was travelling, got tired and thought I’d go the cheap route by sleeping in the car.
I’d pull off in a town somewhere and look for a Wal-Mart parking lot. I’d park far enough away so that I wouldn’t be disturbed but to any people driving by, they’d think it was just a parked car with no one in it.
I couldn’t imagine living in my car but in a worst case situation, I’d make it work.
In other news, the Democrat governor of New Mexico supports unrestricted illegal immigration, but her cities are filling up and overwhelmed already, so she is putting illegals on buses and shipping them to Denver.
I wonder how quick Coloradans realized they are being used as a dumping ground, so put up checkpoints on their border crossings and have state police turn those buses around?
we’ll see how this plays out in light of the 2018 “Boise Decision”.
Our dear 9th Circus court said (in short) if you order some vagrant off of public property, you have to provide them a safe place to re-locate.
My town (Olympia WA) is over run by bums and crazies. They thought they were making headway on finding “Humane” alternatives for these “people” until the Boise decision.

California Central Valley - Local Noon News had a story on how levies are in danger of failure resulting in floods. Reason homeless encampments along rivers and under freeway overpasses have been digging into the levies (was not clear why)
For those not familiar with California much of the land around Sacramento and towards the delta (then the SF Bay) is below the river level. The land is protected by levies.
If it was not so serious I would laugh. At the time I was growing up every city had laws against vagrants and begging on the streets.
Since then the ACLU has stripped cities of these laws and we are seeing the results. Los Angles and San Francisco nothing but third world slums with bums camping (and urinating, and crapping where ever they like). Use of drugs is both open and a danger to the community (because they just toss their used needles anywhere). Diseases once thought gone from our civilized nation have returned.
Add to that the change in laws so crimes of less then a certain amount are tolerated.
When did the citizens of our nation lose our rights and the worse of us gain super citizenship status?
It’s all these brain-dead democrat-run City administrations that have allowed hobo camps in the first place...
Wildlife conservation wisdom:
“DO NOT FEED THE WILD ANIMAL, AS THEY WILL BECOME DEPENDENT ON HANDOUTS”
Let’s see if it gets enforced.

Good for Denver. About time a major city did the right thing. Hope this spreads like kudzu.
