Denver is set to break ground on first 'micro community' to house 1,000 homeless people - complete with tiny homes, private space and communal showers and kitchens

There will also be no sobriety requirement for prospective tenants

The little habitats should be fire-proof for those little mishaps occurring during wasted days and wasted nights.

PAR-TAY!!!!

[goodnesswins]

You must be kidding....the majority of homeless are worse than PIGS...

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

In total, the single community will cost the city a total of $7million - not including the other amenities set to be offered. There will also be no sobriety requirement for prospective tenants, the mayor's office said Monday.

Oh, what could possibly go wrong???

“There will also be no sobriety requirement for prospective tenants”

Maybe if it was out on the plains a way from decent people.

[SACK UP]

I say one year before they are defacated, vomited and urinated to the point of being uninhabitable, and they sue the city for being put in a biohazzard.

In the past there was a free market solution that drastically reduced homelessness - the SRO hotel. Most cities had many hotels that catered to people who were not able to live in other circumstances.

The accommodations were far from deluxe, but they provided a solution for many people. And then progressive city governments decided that cheap hotels were bad because they housed alcoholics, drug addicts, poor people, and people who could not manage to get other kinds of housing.

So the cities pushed the SRO hotels out of business, and wrote regulations to prevent anyone from opening a new one.

And now the city is going to build the same thing, but much less efficiently, and without the management process that made SRO hotels work.

Drug Dens and Rape Rooms. We hear ya, Denver!

Build a Third World Facility and they will come. *SPIT*

[Songcraft]

Maybe they could save space with some of these two-seater toilets...

I would definitely sleep in a pod like that while traveling if the price was reasonable. Say $30-50 a night.

Most conventional hotel rooms are well over $200/night.

When traveling, all I need is a place to sleep and take a shower. I can even do without the "free" breakfast of powdered eggs and microwaved bacon.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Well, “worse than pigs” is a bit over the top, but to some degree I resonate with the sentiment.

What troubles me is that “conservatives” preach that all people yearn to be free and independent, and here we have people who yearn to enslave themselves!

[Revel]

Are they flammable? Where are the fire sprinklers?

[vpintheak]

LOL! Soon to have all copper stripped out, appliances sold on Facebook, be chopped apart for firewood, then the rest will be burned down by cooking fires.
Pinkos are so stupid.

But, but, did all of the future ‘guests’ read the very fine print? It states, in no uncertain terms, that ALL mental health problems need to be left outside the ‘community.’ Any and all ranting, raving, self-medicating needs to absolutely take place outside the ‘community’ between the hours of 8am to 5pm. Between 5pm and 8am, you will be expected to act like a regular person. (Do I need to put the /s sign?)

Wait until Denver gets one of their typical 12-15” snow storms or blizzards accompanied by 50-60 mph winds…

[Clemenza]

But but but the homeless veterans!!! The homeless veterans!!! What about the homeless veterans!!!! Will somebody think of the homeless veterans!!!!

In all seriousness, we don’t have a homelessness problem so much as we have a “self medicating” mentally ill vagrant problem in the US of A.

[WVNan]

I’m making a bet that they will not stay in those “houses”. Too easy for them to think we need only to put up fencing and have them trapped. Just saying. We will see how the winder goes.

[P.O.E.]

[Drew68]

For civilized Japanese society, yes, that pay to use them. Not for homeless, mentally ill/druggie Americans.

Exactly.

One problem with homeless encampments is that they often catch fire and burn down.

Think gigantic Ballot Dropbox.

Flood the country with illegals. Then house them en masse. Finally, use the addresses for phantom voters to steal the 2024 election.
