#1 "President Biden took nearly 80% of the vote there in 2020"

It's the altitude.
They're short of O2.

#2 It has really gotten bad. My sister lives near there and you can't go anywhere without stepping around a tent or being accosted by a homeless person begging or one wandering the street swearing at some imaginary thing. I don't even go down there now and downtown is pretty much dead because of it.

Well, you voted for it assholes. Now you get it... good and hard.

#4 How about using those "Holiday" camps the Gray and Dark-Net are discussing? The "Holiday" camps that the Fed's are claimed to be building around the nation?

#8 There is a difference between spouting a plan and making a difference. I suspect that Denver residents will continue to have a use for their snow shovels on a year round basis.

#9 Houston has a modified version of 'housing first' that I think Denver seems to be copying.

Houston's plan really should be called 'supervision in housing first'.

#10 Someone quoted Zephaniah 2:4 online so I looked it up.

4 Gaza will be abandoned
and Ashkelon left in ruins.
At midday Ashdod will be emptied
and Ekron uprooted.
5 Woe to you who live by the sea,
you Kerethite people;
the word of the Lord is against you,
Canaan, land of the Philistines.
He says, “I will destroy you,
and none will be left.”
6 The land by the sea will become pastures
having wells for shepherds
and pens for flocks.
7 That land will belong
to the remnant of the people of Judah;
there they will find pasture.
In the evening they will lie down
in the houses of Ashkelon.
The Lord their God will care for them;
he will restore their fortunes.[a]

#11 I never go down the hill into Denver anymore. The downtown area used to be a fun place with Coors Field and Mile High Stadium, along with several theaters. It used to be a fun place to go for lunch and a little shopping or meeting a friend. I don't feel safe going to these places anymore, walking the streets even during the day is risky.
The crime has been seeping into the suburbs and even up into the mountains. Seeing graffiti and road rage happening more and more is very sad. Even our mountain trails aren't safe to hike anymore, you read of crazies attacking you or exposing themselves to you.
I love Colorado but it's getting sucked into the woke garbage as well. I'm surrounded by Socialist Democrats who moved here that brought their voting record with them for all the idiotic crap too. I'm screwed, I'm too old to move and that's even if I could afford it these days. At least I feel safe up in the mountains away from these nuts and with a little space around me. At least in my area are long time Republican leaning neighbors. But it sure isn't very comforting being outnumbered by these kooks. Sorry for the rant
