City crews are planning three large-scale clean-ups over the next week in areas where people experiencing homelessness have been camping.

In an email, city spokeswoman Nancy Kuhn said the first would be Thursday along the Platte River around the intersection of 29th Street and Arkins Court, near the Salvation Army’s Crossroads shelter in Five Points. Kuh said clean-ups also were scheduled next Tuesday along Glenarm Place from 21st Street to Park Avenue West in Five Points and Wednesday around the intersection of Washington Street and East 13th Avenue near Saint John’s Cathedral in Capitol Hill.

“We are seeing the areas become increasingly hazardous, in addition to encumbering the public right of way, and want to keep everyone safe,” Kuhn said. “At this time, due to the COVID-19 crisis, once each specific area is cleaned, people experiencing homelessness may return to the cleaned area, if they choose to do so.”

Wiil they use firehoses, bulldozers, and bleach? The politically correct term in Denver is the “unhoused”.

“Five Points” is the ghetto area.

Is that a rhetorical question?

Boulder and Denver is home to many corporate owned apartment complexes owned by a single Communist Chinese, er Hong Kong, PM
Company. Maybe stupid but they are already sending the tenants to collection agencies. Absolutely vicious.

Experiencing homelessness. Odd verb voice to use. Let us hope the homelessness passes them by soon.

So, even more than making money, they are interested in making things worse for us. Typical.

... in Boulder County, a little over 50,000 eviction cases are ready to go once the eviction moritorium is lifted and courts are re-opened ...

That is huge. Of course we can expect that throughout the country. It's going to be bad.

Since they said “people experiencing hopelessness” twice, I’m assuming that that is a conscious decision made on the part of newspaper people to describe this population who live on the streets.

It's the constant Media campaign to redefine down any words that correctly, and succinctly, define the detritus of society. Evidently "bum", "drunk", "drug addict" is too harsh, even though it better describes those people.

God, what wussies.
