Ahh..whats wrong with Golden

[BushMasterBoy]

I would have called the police and filmed it. Then we could at least had some entertainment for free.

[Irving]

That would have been a waste of everyone's time because I doubt the police would have done anything.

A lot nicer than I would have been. He would have woke up being soaked by the garden hose until he removed his worthless self from my property.

I cant wait. I mean with a light rail platform 75' from my fence line I have all sorts of shenanigans to look forward to

Just remember, there's cities in America, right now, that have granted transients "the right" to camp pretty much along any road easement - including permanent transient encampments right in front of your house, shitting in your lawn, talking to your young kids, with nothing you can do about it.

Not only that, but one or more municipalities in CO have tried to recently pass those same "rights".
It didn't pass... this time. But they'll just end up doing it by municipal action, most likely, without a vote.

As they say..... Coming soon to an east slope city near you!

Boulder indeed does a lot of virtue signaling but when it comes to that sort of thing, uh, no...they don't invite them in because they hate the poor. One only needs to look @ the legislation & infrastructure.

The Boulder area has a strong activist network for the "unhoused", whether it's out of ignorant compassion or direct pecuniary benefit via taxpayer funds directed towards the homeless industrial complex. Both groups have hoodwinked the gullible City Council (sound familiar?) into thinking they can "make a difference". Instead, they just attract more scumbags with permissive ordnance enforecement, favorable services, and liberal cash cows who respond to cardboard sign solicitations. Coming soon to any area controlled by progressive D's.

Oh look, there's even a legislative bill introduces this session, watered down to appear more palatable:

https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb19-1096

They'll introduce one each cycle until it passes.

ETA: And if anyone thinks I'm exaggerating, here's the bill text:

(7) "PUBLIC SPACE" MEANS ANY OUTDOOR PROPERTY THAT IS4 OWNED OR LEASED BY A STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY OR ANY5 PROPERTY UPON WHICH THERE IS AN EASEMENT FOR PUBLIC USE.

The only real prohibition is they couldn't block your driveway. Oh, and if you "treat them unfairly" they can sue you for "violatin' their rights". Isn't feels' just awesome.


ETA2: If a bill like that were to pass, a transient might be able to argue that the mere existence of an easement on a parcel grants them right to camp anywhere on the property - even where an easement does not cross. "Any property upon which there is..." is vague enough to only assure exclusion of properties without any public (road) easement. They probably wouldn't win... but if the judge was a SJW, then the rest of private property rights go *poof*

Hey OxArt- You are kidding yourself you think these developments are just an "east slope" thing. Regressives are rallying to make your area just as woke, starting with Durango, Telluride, Gunnison, and expanding from there.

Darn tootin'. With the closure of a homeless camp in Dubango there has been a noticable increase in the homeless population here. I heard a rumour along the lines of them being intentionally exported this way as Durango didn't want to deal with them. Telluride has long had housing issues. If the pattern of Montrose getting Telluride's overflow holds true it's only a matter of time.

... for their poor life choices.

Wake up people (not COAR members of course), not ever homeless person is a vet that lost both legs in Iraq no matter what their sign says.

We’re gonna need the POOP APP!!!
