I would be willing to bet those who are described as "homeless advocates" are the same clueless fools who also campaign for the "rights" of illegal immigrants. What they have in common is placing the "rights" of criminals and derelicts above those of honest, taxpaying citizens. If these advocates gave a hoot about the homeless they would welcome a measure that might force them to quit an expensive and unhealthy habit. The homeless have become a pestilence on Denver. They have made downtown Denver a place to be avoided by decent folks. I am fed up with having signs waved in my face at every street corner. Shut down the downtown shelters and build a work farm fifty miles to the east where the "homeless" can be transported. They can be provided with decent housing, fed and clothed - and given the opportunity to learn job skills - far from drugs and alcohol. This will rapidly weed out the freeloaders from the genuinely needy.
