Denver Looks To Expand City-Sanctioned Campsites To Address Homelessness
Lazy drug addicts, straight up.
Solar life, Elon Musk try Earth before you think pollution on Mars a better way
So great to see true humanity in action
For those who had everything and it was taken away….
You get a tent!
More than California is doing
Help
Don’t compliment on stuff you don’t know about. I work in downtown Denver, and all around the metro area. Everywhere smells like fecal matter, and urine. Majority of all the homeless people I meet are severely mentally ill, drug addicts, or both. The homeless cause a lot of violence, I’ve personally seen this violence. People should not allowed to live in drug dens and shanty houses in downtown when it’s expensive to live there. I’ve gotten plenty of jobs since I moved here, even a couple I didn’t like so much after losing work during covid. Majority of these people don’t want legitimate help or work.I mean even if I was homeless I would work for an Amazon and camp near by.
Fema camps
Denver spends more on homelessness than K-12 education and veterans COMBINED.
Wow!! That's the easiest way to fill up FEMA camps!
Time for government to enact rent control all across the nation. People are too greedy to govern themselves
Yeah, that 30% surge in homelessness in Denver explains why crime has shot up recently here…
We need the PURGE!
This is cool of you all to come up with.
There are currently 9 million unfilled jobs out there, yet homeless encampment get bigger and bigger. Why is that?
Looks like the mayor of Denver and the governor of Colorado have been contaminated by socialism.
This is so misleading. The Denver Mayor….Hancock has been an enemy of the homeless. He was unsuccessful in providing shelter for 4,000 citizens during the PANDEMIC. The 2 campsites were hard fought for by the community of homeless organizations. Hancock tries every week to sweep the homeless camps every week sending them in circles. Once he gave DPD hotel vouchers to give the homeless and the motels and hotels were already full and could take no extra people because of covid. Some motels and hotels did not recognize or accept these City issued vouchers. NBC news come talk to the people who are fighting to get more secure campsites for the homeless citizens.
Hey guys im trying to start a program that allows sober and responsible homeless people who are homeless due to lay offs from the pandemic or unforeseeable circumstances be able to clean and stay in bank owned run down property's till their sold get a commission and move on to the next property helping to decrease homelessness , while maintaining property value from cleaning ugly houses if you like please support
This was smart great job Denver!!
Lots of missing information from the report. Amateurish journalists need to do real investigations.
Probably doing medical experiments on the homeless. I don't trust these people.
The first dudes been homeless a lot longer than a year, you can tell. Try 20-30 years. He’s lyin.
capitalism got humans out of the fields (farming community) in 1900 into a debt society as we know it today.
Where can I sign up to get this free shelter in a gated community and 24hr security? Does it come with free meals, contraception, healthcare and gym? How about free shuttle?
America loves touting Christian values, but we’ll spend a dollar to dollar to drop a bomb on innocent civilians overseas before we spend a dime to help our people here at home.
At least Denver is doing something about this travesty.
How much is the cost of living? Can you afford a regular home ðŸÂ with a regular job?
80 million Americans are going to be homeless by September 1st
Rents are just to high and landlords are just to cruel
Don’t feed the wildlife. They will no longer feed themselves….
Proud of my state 💙â¤ï¸ÂÂ💛ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸÂ¾
That is awful nice , we pay millions a month for illegals to be in hotels and let our own sleep in the streets . Keep the border open !!!!!
Terrific idea. Next tiny houses.
There's only one permanent solution to the homeless epidemic: Reintroduction of Grizzly Bears. You'll never see people sober up quicker.
I like the tiny home idea for the homeless
Winters must be cold in a tent city.
We're the wealthiest nation in the history of the world. We've spent trillions on pointless wars. I think we can afford to cover basic human needs.
Ummm Richest Country in the World? Really? Is it.
There wouldn't be homelessness if the price for a apartment wasn't so expensive 🙃
free housing free food free healthcare what else you need
And then Texas cities are doing the opposite by banning homeless people altogether. Kudos, Colorado, you’re a role model.
Welcome to Joe Biden’s America. Enjoy.
Happy, that I don't live in the Greatest and Richest Country in the world! Happy that I don't live in that Shining City on the Hill! Probably shining from the lights in those tents for the homeless. Shame, shame on you, fake Christian nation.
I'm for people helping out and everything but that hippie chick looks like a straight-up hippie man I'm talkin straight up Creedence Clearwater Revival I'm talkin Jimi Hendrix I'm talking where's my freaking yamaka
I'm all four people helping people but the second Republicans get in power they are going to burn that complex to the ground. They're going to Burn It to the Ground.
