I hate this news story. If I wasn’t living in this community (Douglas county) I would think it’s a good story. However, Douglas county has massive NIMBY policies, including outlawing everything that would allow someone experiencing homelessness anywhere near here. No homeless shelters are legal, no sleeping outside is legal, hell even weed stores are illegal in this massive county, despite it being legal in the majority of the state. Douglas county also created its own health department in protest of mask and vaccine mandates. It’s a very affluent deeply conservative pocket in Colorado that makes me sick.

    engaged with roughly 215 people on the street

    Key word being “engaged”, later they slipped in there that 80% end up not getting “helped”

      Yep, handing out a flyer, or even just talking is an engagement. This means nothing.
