DENVER — A plan to help homeless people during the pandemic by letting them set up camp in a church parking lot has forced residents in an affluent neighborhood to question their progressive values and commitment to helping ease social ills.
If people pay the price to have a home in a nice neighborhood, it is understandable that they want to keep it that way.
I do have sympathy for SOME homeless people -- not for runaway teens who just a want a vacation from rules (yes, I have known about a half-dozen of those) -- but I think the answer to the "homeless situation" is to built clean KOA type of campgrounds a few miles outside of city limits and provide them with nutritious ready-made meals.

They asked for it, let them deal with the consequences.
Or they could get jobs.
Who’s going to pay for the campgrounds, meals, and maintenance that goes with it?

You could get some friends together and start a homeless camp. Let us know how it works out.

Who’s going to pay for the campgrounds, meals, sewage, garbage, water, etc…?
I have an idea. Special local taxes allocated by voting registration, applied only to the political parties that support special camps be funded with all of that (camps now, but soon to be small cities!) No SaLT deductions on federal taxes allowed! Lets see how it goes.
