I think using the whole building for low income or homeless housing is a mistake. It’s going to turn to shit. What they need to do is sprinkle low income families in amongst medium income residents.
This has the added benefit of providing some income to the program and increasing social mobility.
There’s 1,300 unsheltered homeless people in Denver. This hotel has near 200 rooms. With space in each room for multiple residents, this can put a major dent into the amount of homeless on the street if it’s used exclusively for that purpose. Plus, other homeless shelters in the Denver/Boulder area are spread crazy thin as it is. It’ll take a massive effort to keep it from going downhill but I think it can be done.
I like what you’re proposing, but I think this idea is just addressing a different goal. Plus there are probably better places than a hotel to integrate homeless into low/medium income society.
We've experienced this where I am, and I agree. Mixed demographic high density is necessary to prevent the stigmatisation that comes from living in designated ghettos.
It does look like they're thinking about these things to sone degree though, thankfully:
40% of the units designated for tenants earning 30% of the Denver area’s median income.
I am very happy that there are efforts to help the homeless though. I hope it is to help, and not just hide away.
I'm personally a fan of Singapore's rules which make 5% of all new development social housing.
It depends on what their goal is.if it’s just to give people temporary shelter for 6 months or so it could be an effective halfway house style setup. If it’s meant to be permanent housing, the it would be better to have a mix. If it’s just about headlines, then throw the most problematic homeless there and let the place get destroyed in 3 months.
6 months won’t work, it’ll take another 6 months renovation afterwards.
We need better solutions than short term warehousing, I’ve seen tiny house and similar systems that seem to have worked some, the key is to keep things manageable but ensure the expectation that the user is responsible.
The moment you have hallways you go back to Cabrini green really quickly.
It has been pretty successful in my county. The county bought up around seven hotels to house the homeless. Several hundred homeless are housed until they can find more permanent housing.
All monopolies are bad but I do not see a way for other private companies to break into this industry to compete with spacex. I also don’t think I want them too, we’ve too many satellites just waiting for china or russia to fuck something up as it is. Can’t wait for kessler syndrome to permanently lock us onto an overheating planet.
I'm of the same opinion. It's a shame that she (like her mother before her) can't live in the wild, and I hope they can find a humane home for her in captivity. Meanwhile, I hope she fucks more of our human shit up while she's still free.
Lacks was being treated for cervical cancer at Johns Hopkins University in 1951 when doctors removed cells from her tumor without her knowledge or permission.
Those cells — now known as HeLa cells — had remarkable properties that allowed them to be endlessly reproduced, and they have since been used for a variety of scientific breakthroughs, including research about the human genome and the development of the polio and COVID-19 vaccines.
“The waves are riding in on sea level,” he said. The higher the seas rise, the more powerful that ride gets, and the faster the effects of erosion and flooding reshape life in California.
As I clicked to load comments, I thought to myself that there hasn’t been a single article that presented anything he’s done with Twitshit as positive. I wondered if that’s bias or whether he’s fucked up on every change. But you’re right. I’m ready to stop hearing about it. It sucks when children are billionaires.
I’m really looking forward to having content filter options. I don’t want to block technology or news, I just want to filter out anything that mentions Twitter, Elon, Musk, and quite a few other key words. I think connect for lemmy has this option, I just couldn’t stand the UI.
Because Twitter is something many people use and is part of our lives. The terms tweet and retweet is in our lexicon and a lot of breaking news appear on twitter. It’s clearly important to us and as evidenced by Mastodon, Blue Sky, and Threads, we humans want a form of twitter. I agree and it has some utilitarian use. There’s something “internety” about short blips of info with quick vids if necessary that anyone can access.
It may not seem important, but with Google trying to push DRM browsing, their search algo shitting itself, reddit crapping itself, Youtube being Youtube, etc. the old internet as we knew it is dying. The old internet being the free one we knew that wasn’t centralized, full of forums, and felt a different kind of alive. I think that’s why the news for Twitter is important.
Now, do we need to know about the people complaining about the X sign? Maybe not, i kind of don’t think so, but it is nice to have a record of it for future reference. It most likely didn’t need to reach my all/local page but people upvoted it.
Matthew DePerno, a Republican lawyer who was endorsed by Trump in an unsuccessful run for Michigan attorney general last year, was charged with undue possession of a voting machine and conspiracy, according to Oakland County court records.
Daire Rendon, a former Republican state representative, was charged with conspiracy to commit undue possession of a voting machine and false pretenses. A lawyer listed on court documents as representing Rendon could not be immediately reached for comment by phone.
A criminal lawyer and a crooked politician. What a great combo.
Man WTF I idolized him as a kid growing up watching PeeWee’s Playhouse and the PeeWee movies. Even though he was as old as my parents, it feels like a childhood friend died. I did not expect to be so upset by this.
She pointed to a threatening email she received last week with a subject line reading, “Fani Willis = Corrupt N*****.” The body of the email said, “You are going to fail, you Jim Crow Democrat whore.”
Willis said the message was “pretty typical” of what her office has been receiving and said she is aware of “equally ignorant voicemails” that have come into the county office and to her own office. She said she expects more over the next month. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported Wills’ warning to the county commissioners.
They see their GEOTUS being held accountable for his crimes as a transgression against their race, and all the “wokeness” as just as much of a civil rights issue as when people were subjugated based on the color of their skin. Add in the fact that the Democrats were the racist party 100+ years ago, and you get the tortured logic that Democrats now are just as bad as they were then.
The article doesn’t provide any such threat being made. I’m not saying there weren’t threats made, I’m saying I don’t know, because the article doesn’t provide that information.
Why are you being a cunt? Does the article list any threats or does it not? Can you read?
I’m not defending these assclowns. I don’t support racist idiots. I’m just pointing out that there aren’t any threats being made in the article, and the US has strong free speech laws - you’re allowed to call people racist names if you want to, it’s a protected right to do so. If any of these dumb fucks threatened the DA, then yes that is a punishable offense.
Do you have a better source? Or are you just pissing around because people are taking these people’s word on it? Because again you really haven’t shown why they shouldn’t be believed
I’m not sure how to make this any more clear - the article does not provide anything about threats being made or an ongoing investigation.
So my original question was, based on the linked article, what would these dumb racist fucks be charged with?
Since you seem to admit the article does not provide evidence of threats of bodily injury or harm being made, and no ongoing investigation thereto, it seems only reasonable to conclude at this time based on the evidence in the article there is not a charge that can be made against these dumb pieces of shit.
That’s my only point. That’s it. Are we on the same page yet?
Pretty sure a DA can tell whether the contents of the email that we are not privy to qualify as harassment or threats. JFC what kind of stunned cunt are you?
Again, you’re injecting - she is never quoted as saying such in the fucking article you thick twat.
Your clearly don’t understand the point I am making here. It’s like I’m talking to a 4 year old.
Free speech is protected. Threats against someone are not. Given the article, on what basis would charges be made against one of the people sending these gross emails?
I’ll spell it out for you, again. NONE. The DA doesn’t say she received threats in the article. The article only quotes nasty emails, that are void of threats.
This is bullshit and whoever is trying to make this reality needs to learn about separation of church and state and ponder it while they have all influence and decision making power stripped permanently since they lack reading comprehension skills.
These people have spent decades pretending that Thomas Payne et all were good little Christian fundamentalists who thought that Christian rule was such a no brainer they just never thought any other religious group could exist, and that it is a foregone conclusion that all of law and order was divinely inspired by Judeo Christian thought and values, and didn’t exist prior, because nothing existed prior to their Stone Age fan fiction.
Fuck off. A lot of people got sick because others were idiots, not because they behaved wrong. Masks are most effective when the sick person wears them, which you can't influence, way too many idiots got out even thought they felt sick and not every place in the world encouraged the use of the really effective FFP2/KN95 Masks. A lot of long-covid sufferers also got sick early on, before we even learned what they best measures would be to protect ourselves and others and before we had the vaccines that reduce the risk of suffering from it.
I don't disagree with your points, mostly, but I will put good money down on the fact that the sweeping majority of people who have had covid got it because they were full on anti-mask, or because they went to densely populated areas.
I guarantee you that those screaming the loudest about long term covid assistance are the anti-mask boomers who screamed the loudest about being made to wear a mask.
If you are going to completely sidestep my obvious point and engineer your own meaning for what I said, eat a dick.
