State Capital Area Deterioration.

[flogger]

I'm sure it is not news to anyone that the area around the Capital building, Civic Center park and surrounding areas have become a real POS. The media is covering this in their usual way and our politicians are doing nothing.

If you have not been down there in a while, take a drive. It is beyond belief! Tents and piles of trash everywhere. NO SOCIAL DISTANCING HERE!!!

They are putting up temporary chain link fence sections around OUR STATE CAPITAL BUILDING to keep it from being vandalized, there is graffiti and broken windows everywhere and plywood covers most of the first floor windows in any business in a 4 BLOCK AREA!!

Disgusting to say the least. It is (was) a great place for out of towners/staters to visit. Fantastic history and a wonderful tour, I saw several small groups of obvious tourist walking through this sea of vermin. What a great impression! Right Mr. Polis?

Bottom line is why did these jerks even get to this area and tear it up 7 weeks ago WITH NO POLICE OPPOSITION, where was the State Patrol?? On stand-down???

If you have seen it, you will be pissed. If you have not seen it, get ready.

By the way, they are doing a study on the cost of restoration of the damage to the buildings and monuments, they can't get and estimate because damage continues every day! It will probably take over 3 years and 2 mil to pay for this. They have less than a handful of perps and will convict 0.

Need to check my blood-pressure.

Our damage is nothing compared to other areas. Minneapolis along estimates $500 Million dollars in damage with $50 million to gov. building. Walgreens estimates $75 million UNINSURED losses to store damage and inventory theft just for the month of May nationwide. I support peaceful protests but this is out of hand.

We would drive by there somewhat regularly on our way home from the Denver Zoo, up until the end of 2019, and it was a shit hole back then, I can only imagine what it's like now.

I work in those boarded up buildings. Every day another window, door, or something is busted out. Costing tax payers tons!

92 windows broken in the city and county building.

Pretty depressing going in each day to see the damage.

Meh, I'd rather people who are angry at the government take it out on government buildings than privately owned shops.

If they want to peacefully assemble and protest, fine. If they wantonly destroy private and government property (owned by us, the people), then law and order should prevail.

What we have here is a total Charlie Foxtrot. The government instituted by the people is sitting on its collective hands for some purpose other than serving its constituents, the taxpayers.

I agree, but at least the people who are unrelated to the shitstorm are being spared.

No, it's not. It's keeping their customers out of the area, so they're still screwed.

Unless you are a taxpayer right? Fuck those guys who work, pay taxes, and are law abiding.

Tax dollars are wasted regardless. I'd rather this than fucking over some individual's personal finances and insurance rates.
