And everyone that lives in the area is pissed.

From the post: "DENVER — The City of Denver broke ground this week on a micro-community for people experiencing homelessness.
The site is owned by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and located near South Santa Fe Drive and Iliff Avenue in Denver's Overland neighborhood. It will include 120 tiny homes, or pallet homes.
Micro-communities are a large part of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston's plan to get 1,000 unhoused individuals off the streets by end of the year."
Add that expense to the public debt. Who is going to repair and maintain that "community?" But I see this here. Old people busted there ass for land, and now their kids do not want it, except to sell.
Lol, years ago my brother had a buddy out by Johnstown. This was when the front range started to bloat in population. He had a nice plot of land on a corner, the only little farm house out there amongst the wheat and corn fields. One day across from him heavy equipment came in to prep the land for a new subdivision. As the project proceeded and a few showcase homes were built he put up a huge billboard on his corner that read, “FUTURE SITE OF LOW INCOME HOUSING”. It slowed the sales, but ultimately his peace and quiet country life was ruined forever.
What a fucking tragedy. If you own land like that.. It is in your best interest in trying to buy as much that surrounds you as possible or to get on a local counsel to make sure it cannot be re-zoned from agro use.
Even the areas I have traveled through in the overall metro area were once mostly just empty open space and now the blight of development is all over the place.
Greed man, it’s a helluva drug. Haven’t been up that way in a decade or better. Last time I was blown away at the growth. Made me sick. Read’n your posts on Colorado blows me away even more. Wtf is going on up there!
unhoused
Enough with the idiotic euphemisms. It's homeless people!
Now we can add "Micro-communities" as homeless people too. Essentially a ghetto of people who don't care about their home.
What do you get when you "house" one homeless person?
Ten more homeless people.
Exactly. I refuse to use "their language". This PC, feelings bullshit is all to try to normalize bad things and to make it not sound so bad.
unhoused, Micro-communities, Pallet houses == HOMELESS CAMPS.
