DENVER (KDVR) — Denver is set to open a micro-community in the Overland Park neighborhood off South Santa Fe Drive on Monday. It’s part of Mayor Mike Johnston’s House1000 initiative.

“The micro-community is going to provide opportunity to people to survive,” Denver District 7 Council Member Flor Alvidrez said.

People from an encampment off Colfax Avenue and Umatilla Street will be moved to the community, which is made up of 60 tiny homes. The community will offer wraparound services, including medical care and employment services.

“We have worked so hard to get to this point,” Alvidrez

“wraparound services” sounds very Orwellian

But the only reason we have problems surviving is because of communism.

In the minds of the left nothing until it does then the default is to blame the right.

This place will have burned to the ground before the summer is over.

There's a very real problem with fires in homeless encampments.

If they’re not at least going to keep out the kinds of druggies whose addictions require fire, this is going to end badly.

Looks like a tiny gated community. With fences. Bunch of NIMBY types!

It’s our fault for not providing proper labs and lab personnel to make their crystal meth.

In my city, they burned down a small motel that had been turned into a homeless shelter.

...and employment services.

I do love humor, but this is insulting.

The Los Angeles Fire Department has said that half - HALF - of the city's fires come from the vagrant camps.

This reminds me of how drug dealers used to deal with the needle exchange programs. The dealers’ ‘customers’ would all congregate in one place. It made it easier to sell the drugs. As soon as they got their new, clean needles, they could walk around the corner and purchase their drugs.

The democRATS probably called this a win-win situation.
