#Denver #Homelessness #NightlyFilms
When people feel safe and warm and sheltered, they are far far less likely to be upset and act in ways that cause them and others problems. It's so much better to work together this way. Ice fishing tents are Brilliant! Bravo to these folks for finding a way to really help. I would have loved one of those tents with all those extremely helpful services on site when I was homeless in Denver a few years ago.
It's a step in the right direction
I was homeless in colorado for a bit it took me 1 month to work and get a place these people are parasites to society there thieves there either drug addicts or dont want to work if it's a easy care free life why would they change this is enabeling
900000 / 70 tents guys think about that
Never judge people and love everyone and long and hard as you can . When ya make love to another person feel it like your dying. We all need to get along more period. It makes me cringe and wanna puke when I see the rudeness that some ignorant folks of all races creeds religions treating each other poorly. The only way earth is going to stand a chance against intergalactic enemies is if we bam together now, similar to jail break.
This can be me you or anyone
Jesus
You know what the mayor of Denver needs to quit lying to people. It is big business for the city of Denver and the state of Colorado to keep people that are homeless in a homeless situation hundreds of millions of dollars come into the city the money goes into a funnel and all that comes out the bottom is a little trickle. The mayor of Denver is lying through his teeth
Doing a quick search on Trulia shows that a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment in Fountain, Colorado goes for $925/mth. Minimum wage in Colorado is $12.32/hr which comes out to be about $2,200/mth. There are many crew positions to be filled at multiple McDonald's sites in Fountain with wages ranging from $13.00 – $35/hr right now. So all these people need to do is take public transit over, get a job and settle down in a lower cost area.

Republicans: We don’t give a crap about poor scum.
Democrats: I’ve got a solution, let them live in tents in Denver Colorado! You know, where’s its always sunny and warm. 🤦â€ÂÂ♂︠This is why I don’t vote, they’re all scum.
Number one cause of homeless is excuses…
