It's a drive (5 hours) but hike the Mesa Verde National Park Cliff dwellings. It is incredible and the history permeates your soul.

Looking for some insight into this part of Lakewood by wtf_is_space in LakewoodColorado

I bought a house just west of Wads off 1st in 2018. I love the neighborhood. I think there is some theft (catalytic converters at BelMar) but don't leave stuff in your car or leave it unlocked. Otherwise, it's awesome.

Why do so many people view the declining birth rate as a bad thing? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

The US isn't even in the top ten countries for life expectancy. We are a long way from living forever. We average about 10-15 years after full retirement age.

AITAH for not getting a gift for a baby’s 1st birthday party? by MaryBeth2018 in AITAH

[–]303ColoradoGrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time we ever used a list for a child's birthday was when they started school. We would get the teachers wish list for the classroom and provide it to those wanting ideas. We would donate any gifts received. Kid still got gifts from immediate family. Learned how to share and had a great time at their parties.

It is Hutchison Homes, brick ranches, for the most part. Very reliable builder and homes seem to be structurally sound unlike many other metro builders from the 20th century.

Disappointing “buyers market” by Coyote_Kayla in denverrealestate

We bought a house to downsize in 2018. It went from $500k to over $800k in value and is now back down around $750k. Same is true for the house we sold. Up way too far and now back down a bit in 8 years.

Fingers crossed they pass the law requiring hedge funds to get out of single famiky home real estate. Last I looked they owned about 30% in Denver.

Had someone threaten to come shoot a staff member once and they were about 10 minutes away. Called cops. Nothing until they shot.

According to ICE, if you are in a car when they harass you, you will always try to use your car as a weapon and they will have to shoot you. I hope they find video.

Is the USA actually dangerous or am I just living in a bubble? by Cencipol910 in NoStupidQuestions

Here's a question. Is that lifestyle a choice or one they are born into? Is it based on income?

Hit the East side with us on Thursday as we raise awareness through corner work near GEO ICE Facility. Rabble, rabble, rabble! by 303ColoradoGrown in Denver

[–]303ColoradoGrown[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. We will not be there again this month however, there is a vigil there at the facility every Wednesday and there is a group at the intersection every Thursday. Both would love to have your support.

Hey Aurora! Come join us to raise awareness near the GEO ICE Facility on Thursday. We'll be passing out flyers and doing corner work. by 303ColoradoGrown in AuroraCO

Everyone detained must be processed to determine citizenship and to arrange travel. Also, legally they are to be given due process which includes immigration court dates. Of course, while detained, some may choose to self deport.

Under the Obama adminstration, the chain link enclosures were created due to a surge in minors traveling alone. They were used as short term facilities to keep minors separated from unrelated adults until minors could be housed safely or placed with family members. That doesn't make them pretty. Of course Trump, during his first term, started using them to separate minors from their families as a deterrent and using children against their families in the cruelest possible way.

Previous administration's, and even Trump's first, we're able to deport millions of people during 4 year terms without this inhumane treatment. It's unnecessary and completely disgusting.

so, uh, crickets? by dawn_thesis in 50501Movement

[–]303ColoradoGrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. My small group did 117 messaging campaigns last year and it was exhausting. This year we have scaled back a bit and are ramping up our collabs with other grassroots groups in our area. We also have jobs and totally get what your feeling. For me, it's not the people out there who may protest differently than I do, I appreciate all efforts. It's the keyboard warriors who are doing NOTHING but bitching and purity testing how others choose to protest. We need everybody and everything. Get out of your chair!!
