The Democrat-controlled Colorado Legislature has done everything it can to mirror California policies, and if Initiative 300 passes in May, we’ll have to go through
San Francisco’s problems with homelessness are well documented and continue to accelerate due to its economic regulations and redistribution policies that continue to inflate the cost of living, and enable those unwilling to work to sponge off the system.
SImilar policies in Las Angeles also led to rampant homelessness, an uptick in crime, and rats carrying dangerous typhus that has plagued the city.
According to Together Denver, if approved, Initiative 300 will allow people to occupy public places like parks and sidewalks indefinitely, eliminate park curfews, and prohibit law enforcement from enforcing law to protect public safety.
Opponents point out this will ultimately lead to public endangerment and a steep decline in quality of life and economic vitality in Denver.
The initiative is not limited to drifters just wondering through the area. This will allow people to prop up tents and park car/RVs outside business complexes, residential areas, small commercial shopping districts, and Denver’s popular locations like the zoo, museums, and sporting venues.
Although the initial intentions for this are to allow people to seek shelter, this initiative won’t help to fight homelessness.
All it will do is loosen limitations on those sponging off the system and will encroach on other’s lives, lowering the quality of life in the community.
Do you want to be having a nice dinner with your family at a restaurant or even in your home, and look out the window to see tents and tarps?
Initiative 300 is an invitation for disease, crime, and lower property values.
Please HOW CAN WE ORGANIZE & STAND AGAINST THIS!!
No to any policy that failed in CA- period – or contributed to that states poor situation and ranking and harms Colorado
Well, Dems in Boukder, Denver, and Colrado Springs are the ones who want this. My advice, if you want to save Colorado, start recalling the Democrats, I didn’t vote for these awful people. I will gladly sign any petition to get all these left wing liberals out of office and out of Colorado, and put sanity back in control. It is time to get in touch with the ACLJ, Freedomworks. They might help or know who can
I agree whole heartedly!
Carla, I am a democrat and strongly oppose this. So get your facts straight.
Being some that was, at one time, homeless. I can say that as for me, I would NEVER want to camp out in a city park or other areas where there are a lot of people passing by. This is asking for trouble. I always, ALWAYS, went out of my way to find someplace out of sight and as far away from others as I could possibly get. The bullcrap way things are run in California does NOT work and provides little, if any, help to getting people off the streets and into a home and/or a job.
DO NOT LET THIS PASS. Colorado will regret it.
This policy isn’t a failure in CA!
It is producing the PRECISE result Colorado Legislators wish upon Denver.
Leftism destroyes EVERYTHING it touches.
Exactly. They manufacture a crisis under the guise of helping and then just keep manufacturing problems one right off of another while the democrat constituency are “Dunning-Kruger” AKA useful idiots. Dunning-Kruger democrats will just keep supporting it over and over and again.
That is their agenda.
