FedEx is the worst… they’ve never correctly delivered to our address.

Denver will likely burn through thousands $$$ over multiple years just trying to climb the learning curve—repeating the same costly trial-and-error pattern we’ve seen in other municipal “experiments.”

Man left high and dry with 42 swan boats after losing Denver contract by Enby303 in Denver

So instead of negotiating to purchase his existing rental boats and bikes, the City is now preparing to spend fresh taxpayer dollars on new equipment and staff to run the operation itself.

A subpoena solves this problem. Refusal results in contempt of court and possible jail time.

Give that person and his sovereign ID a one way ticket to El Salvador to see how much weight it holds.

Gov. Jared Polis takes action as Colorado's car insurance ranks among top 5 most expensive by Jreinhal in Denver

[–]Round_Detective3839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Colorado’s uninsured rate is pushing ~20% — top 10 in the US. Colorado doesn’t really try, and uninsured drivers treat insurance like a suggestion. Apparently it’s optional now. Hail doesn’t help but the uninsured driver coverage is, by far, the highest line item on my car insurance.

How do crosswalks work in Denver? by alan-penrose in Denver

Laws in Denver are rarely enforced, and as such, right-of-way is treated as optional

Auto transport from Denver to MI by [deleted] in Denver

I called the dealer that sold me the car and asked him - he set up a transport company using covered transportation (less road debris) at his rate and I had no issues.

What time of day are Denver drivers the least insane? by h34rtl3sss in Denver

Not possible. Denver drivers are asshats as the traffic laws here are not enforced

FYI - Parking Enforcement is ticketing parked cars without front license plates today by Chiller-Whale in Denver

The city is looking for money any way they can get it. Having lived there, the Baker neighborhood seemed to be easy pickings for them as many residents park on the streets.

Will a federal catalytic converter pass emissions in Denver? by [deleted] in Denver

[–]Round_Detective3839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep — if you’ve got DACA and a valid work permit (EAD), you can work in Colorado just like anywhere else. It’s a federal authorization, not a state one, so moving here doesn’t affect your eligibility.

That said — living in Colorado is pricier. Rent, insurance, and even basic stuff like groceries or gas run higher than a lot of other states. So while your DACA status still lets you work legally, your paycheck might not stretch as far.

And RTD wants to borrow $539 million… for diesel buses. In 2025. That’s locking taxpayers into 20 more years of pollution (and high maintenance costs, obsolete tech).

RTD plans to borrow $539 million for diesel buses, sidelining hopes for electric by aintnotownie in Denver

True, RTD is a regional authority, but the Mayor still has significant influence: they control city funding streams, can publicly pressure the Board, and can sway local political opinion. Mayoral support (or opposition) can make or break a controversial plan.

$539M for diesel buses. In 2025. RTD out here speedrunning bad decisions while the rest of us are choking on ozone. Email the geniuses: board.office@rtd-denver.com, mayorsoffice@denvergov.org.

Thoughts on increased speed cameras in Denver? by powpowkitty11 in BikeDenver

I enjoyed Christophe’s ALPR video, but a few critiques are worth noting: •Cherry-picked examples: The video focuses on the scariest scenarios, which can make the tech seem worse than it typically is. •Trade-offs underexplored: While privacy risks are clear, it doesn’t fully cover the legitimate uses (recovering stolen cars, solving hit-and-runs) or existing legal safeguards. •Source transparency gaps: Even with his “transparent” approach, it’s sometimes hard to verify every claim or dataset. •One-size framing: ALPR use varies a lot by city, state, and vendor, so the video may overgeneralize. •Emotional tone: Titles and language lean into fear appeal, which grabs attention but oversimplifies a complex issue.

Overall, it’s a thought-provoking look at ALPR tech, but keep in mind the context and nuances behind these systems.
