Portland homeless cesspool- Denver next?

[Skip]

Having said that, I think the one saving grace Denver has over Portland is that it gets cold enough here that it drives the drifters to warmer climates.

Cold enough to kill the Hep A too.

Doesn't change the fact that you are still literally walking through shit when you go downtown. Literally.

I just got HAV and tetanus shot again last primary visit.
I think HAV are contegious mainly through food, not dirty sidewalk. Maybe they should bleach shower illegal street food vendors.

You can watch them live from the Everett tweaker cam.

No guys, pot and liberal democrat policies have nothing to do with it. Not sure about outerspace aliens or Mexicans. I will say that most of the Mexicans I've hired over the years busted their freaking asses though.

Yep, I was grossed out by Portland. Took pictures to prove it. I thought no one would believe people camping in sidewalks, and the look of a tird world country. <<I saw this and decided it didn't need correcting.

The Platte River has tons of camping and people pooing where ever. I saw a plea from the port-a-let service for when they doc use it. Bear Creek Park is full of nasty camping too.

They should track down previous owner of Ink cafe and make him accountable for selling the property to a terrible person. He could have opened a 501c liquor co-op.

I see a lot of homeless in Pueblo. I think some are veterans traumatized by the wars. I didn't vote for Hillary. Aliens are real. Mexicans do great work, last people I hired were Mexicans.
It is so sad that the American Dream has escaped the unfortunate few. An ancient Roman soldier preached that the greatest of all things was charity. His name was JESVS CHRISTVS. Later as a veteran he was tortured for his beliefs. Try to be charitable.

This is why each of us that live in communities that have not yet allowed recreational pot sales need to stand and fight every time our local governments start trying to bring it up. Legal recreational weed is nothing more than a giant magnet to useless, homeless people.

The two recreational stores in Manitou are enough to flood much of the west side of Colorado Springs with these bums so just imagine what dozens of stores across the city would do.

This for Golden too. I’ve only lived here 15 years, but it is amazing how it has changed, and really in the past 2-4 most. You can’t go outside in summer without smelling it. Parks, on lookout (riding lariat on roadie or chimney on mtb), or even around the creek. There is no pot here, but proximity has people bringing it from wherever. With it, a slight uptick in the sleeping outside crowd. I’d sympathize with this, but I think these are less the mentally ill and more the “check out of society” type.

I don't want to derail any threads with comments I've made in others, but even this issue seems more related to population increase, than to pot and liberals. Neither of the latter help the situation, but people have been flocking to Colorado for 30-40 years now? Any place that has an increase in population will have an increase in every other problem as well. We can all stand around and point to people moving here after legal weed, but the Rocky Mountains and John Denver are responsible for a greater number of people moving here than pot and liberals are. Weed becomes legal in more and more places every year. Once more than half of the country legalizes weed, what will everyone blame our problems on then?

[roberth]

Irving is correct, mainly population. Colorado is a beautiful place and many, many people want to live here. I'm hoping for an absolutely brutal winter but I don't think we're gonna get one this coming season.

I have a question for those of you who travel around the metro area alot. How many people do you observe giving money to panhandlers?

[Great-Kazoo]

Too many
