So when it comes to illegals they can do it in 88 days but for Americans and vets sorry you get a tent
Where did it say this was for illegals?
If this is for unhoused american citizens im for it.
Johnston has housed not one person. Housing in Denver is not a topic of discussion. Micro Communities are proven failures. Denver does not possess the infrastructure to maintain these houseless compounds. It is only Johnston "claiming victory." This is the guy who lied about his dashboard protocol when it was discovered by journalists. He then was vitriolic to these same journalists who were performing due diligence and uncovered his false information. This scale of kicking the can down the road is a disaster. Denver requires leaders who possess the maturity and acumen to rectify this houseless crisis.
@@DwaynePeterson-yh5ichello again. I ask the same question. What is your solution?
It's for immigrants
These must be their storage sheds, show us after they’ve been there a month
Graffiti, trash, dozens of bicycles being disassembled for parts.
No mention of personal responsibility and accountability and consequences.
@@ericstandefer9138 Isn’t that part of diversity’s “those that got give, those that don’t get “ and in the last 3 yrs, 15 million illegals have gained the gravy train.
They need to do something about what causes homelessness.corporate greed.
Get in the Pods!
Are they for American families ?
Murican
No,it is for addicts .Fema money
Soon, we will all be living in micro communities getting our meals from a bread line...
Don't worry though, it will be equitable, inclusive and diverse...
@ Crabfiles , SPEAK FOR YOURSELF NOT ME. I AM GOING TO BE A BILLIONAIRE, SOON ‼️👍
But we know some people are more equitable than others.

There should be self improvement incentives to live in one of those. What do you get back when you give something for nothing? NOTHING
Providing job training real living wages would also help

@@AstroBear11 Did I make a claim that there weren't incentives for this program or did you imagine that? I just said 'there should be self improvement incentives'. That is called a comment, not a claim
Looks like a penal colony.
@bigpicturethinking5620: "Looks like a penal colony." Does this bring back memories from a past life for you?
@@fritzsmith3296 Yes I was in a socialist penal colony for having the wrong opinion in a past life. You would know it as a gulag. That’s what this reminds me of. Any further questions?
Kinda like Australia's COVID camps !
That's awesome. Well done, Denver. The rest of the world needs to watch, learn, and act. It's time for homelessness to end. Sydney Australia Mayor, I hope you're watching this instead of relaxing in your multi-million dollar home, sigh.
Lmao....This isn't the solution!
@@majorchutzpah7265no it certainly isn’t. Makes me laugh when I see someone that thinks “oh just put a roof over them and problem solved” and the best part, higher taxes. This is wrong for everyone
It is a complex problem and @majorchutzpah7265 and @Cmon-Man are naysayers. The homeless have been living in tents if they are lucky with less upright space than these cute units. Most importantly they will be an escape from the elements where life can begin again. California and all the liberal lobbyist wanted money to flow to their expensive projects that are never completed and are all fantasy. 'It is disrespectful to put the homeless in anything but luxury condos or hotels. They need a million dollar view.' This meets the need.
Fentynol distribution center,and sadly you could build a whole building for the cost of it.poor spending
A nice little camp concentrated into one area...
Homes....? Those are sheds ! They've been doing these in Oakland for years now , only to find out they don't like them , too many rules , the homeless have adapted to freedom !
Freedom means trashing everything everywhere they are.
Actual homeless or illegals?..
Yes, lol
Waste of money. This will end very badly.
I give it a week or two before these are destroyed.

How much taxpayer money does this cost? Millions and millions. Democrats solution is always to spend and tax your problems away endlessly
Which ones the trap closet?
We need more communities like this - this is GREAT news
Next one goes up in your backyard
@@timthebruce: "next me in your back yard". I'd welcome it. You sir are dumb, ignorant, selfish, and bigoted.
The folks who are going to be in these small homes will be "screened" for mental health and drug addiction problems. Those with these issues will not get in these small homes.
Yes, I would welcome these homes to be built in my back yard. These folks have been given bad luck and should be given very basic necessities to give them the dignity they deserve as much as we do.
They are a valuable addition to any community. They are willing to work hard to get "back on track".
As to the druggies and mental health issues. Small homes (or any other kind) will not solve their problems.
On the issue of "druggies and mental health problems", they will not be in these small homes.
I would not want to be within 50 miles of them. Think about this for a moment.
Housing is of no help. They need to be sheltered in a facility that can treat them. They can't be trusted to be "outpatients". They'd be back to their addiction in less then a day.
The best society can do for the "crazies" is lots of medication and community living, out of the general public.
Beautiful 😍 you can feel love and passion in this man's heart when he speaks about this project ❤️

@@DwaynePeterson-yh5icwhat is your suggestion to solve the problem? At least he is trying. You never know this might work. I'd rather be in one of those cabins than out in the snow.
@@leoniemillerl4487 These will never work. Johnston is modeling his MC off of Cole Chandler's disasterous tiny room villages. Neither understands the population or possess the knowledge of administration or stewardship. Five year's ago I submitted a blueprint to the city of Denver and the state of Colorado to solve houselessness and improve Denver's infrastructure. It included a detailed financial analysis and plan as well. I soon learned Denver is not receptive or respectful to its citizens and only loyal to themselves.
This is a joke attempt to make himself look good while not housing anyone or doing anything about the actual problems. All our money goes to illegals.
I fled the hostility of a micro community for the safety of the streets. I am in the trenches. Every minute I see the damage of Johnston's decisions I see the ugliness the media does not report. Rape, prostitution, racism, assaults, gun violence, drugs, human trafficking, and property damage accompany this population. My determination for rehousing has been defamed by the city of Denver and Mike Johnston. As a member of his Housing and Homelessness Committee, Johnston thought I would be one of his "yes" people. He does not accept criticism. Micro Communities in Denver have existed for at least ten years and all are failures. The only people benefiting are the operators and providers with large sums of money. My self-advocacy and lived-experience has given me access to arenas most do not know exist. Johnston is no messiah. He is part of the problem.
Bad ass. No whining no BS just results
Right on Denver
Lmao😂
yep, countless places who have tackled this just keep concluding that the fastest, cheapest, and safest way to end homelessness is to give people homes. this is exactly what i've always wanted to see ❤

@@DwaynePeterson-yh5icditto x2
@colorbugoriginals4457 open your home if you care so much
They will destroy it in no time , I want to see a month update and a 6 months update
Me and my gf are homeless and was in a tent now we're in a room but we keep it clean every morning before we leave for the day. We're the 1% of homeless that aren't bad people.
I feel the mayor's heart is in the right place. But I believe there will be severe unanticipated consequences. This move will attract more and more homeless and illegals to Denver and ultimately Colorado. Is there some form of public service required from the occupant in order to live in this community?
Going to turn out like every other great idea. Bet
Why not refit abandonded bldgs?
Would be too permanent !
How excellent!! Lots of clapping for Denver👏
Amen! Exactly what I was going to say. Congratulations and great news for Denver 🎉🎉🎉 Now the rest of the United States needs to take heed ❤❤❤
@@wendyodell356gawd bless Murica 🤓🖕
Mini crack houses.
I love this! Hold on .. this is to house homeless Americans right, not illegals??
I would like NN to check back in in 6 months.
We already have micro-communities, they’re called gutters.
Give it a few months, it’ll be a drug central
You will own nothing and be happy.
Speak for yourself
Illegal dems voters or Americans?
Nice. Now the homeless migrants will be able to fill the streets where the homeless Americans once were. I can't wait to hear how the shared laundry space works out.
Shared bathroom space will be worse. I couldn't imagine trudging through snow in the middle of the night for the bathroom.
Most just use the bathroom for number 2. I just pee in a bottle and dump it down my sink so I don't have to use the communal bathroom that often.
@@crimeariver6034 There aren't any sinks in the individual little houses.
The state has mandated a minimum of 3.5 cubic feet of space per citizen.
Is there a no drug using rule? If so many will not stay there. But for those who are homeless then I say well done, but it’s not the first of its kind.
I stay at one of the hotels they offered us and yes they still do drugs in the rooms 3 nights we all had to wait out in the cold cuz of them.
Awesome for sure! Hopefully, other cities adopt this as a blueprint to overcome their own homelessness crisis.
a private company tried to do this exact same thing in Las Vegas, and the city had them torn down which is so sad 😢

WHAT ABOUT AMERICANS AND OUR VETERANS
Gawd bless Murica 🤓 🖕
Finally...great guy...They still need vacuum cleaners and cleaning supplies....
Thank you new mayor for STICKING the cost of another homless site to those who are permanent property tax payers who are angry about supporting those who wish to live "free."
Great Job Honorable Mayor maybe other cities and states will follow your lead and possibly end homelessness all across our Great Nation and " Leave No One Out On The Streets "
I make over $30 an hour and I feel like I need one of these to live in. Im not ok with 1400$ rent. Has me contemplating living out of my car.
I hope these units are given to the homeless who have been suffering through this cold weather and not the migrants showing up excepting and demanding something the U.S citizens deserve
They're ruining any business near the camp. I already started going to a new dispensary.
Hopefully these will be for United States citizens and not illegals
what a man. It is cold out. Many of the homeless are veterans. Good way to eradicate homelessness, however with all the migrants crossing over, I am not too sure.
This is so sweet these are angels that we have here on Earth helping one another this is what life is about this is what we are going to take in our hearts when we go God bless everyone for helping the homeless
Is there no work houses or prisons?
Put yourself in prison first
@@firstlast8258 if youre mocking my statement . Mine was not an original statement it was penned by author Charles Dickens who was referencing how the homeless were treated at the time in England . Read the classics they are insightful and also great at highlighting the absurdity of reality
Eugene Or should take a play out of you guys playbook
Really so good 👍👌God bless you for helping the poor and homeless ;;; maybe no fault of their home ;;; it’s the economy
Gawd
Is it 4 American citizens or illegals?
Where drugs, sex and rock and run freely, really you think this is going to work, maybe??
God bless Denver!! That’s how you take care of gods people!

We have some tiny house villages around my area (western Washington) and some are for veterans only here.
Gawd bless Murica 🤓 🖕
Fentanyl camp 😂
Sounds like a cool place.😊
Permanent ??????
Someone, please tell me why this is not being done across America?
Go look for yourselves, it is not a good thing.Sorry but the dealers and pimps move into the community and then you have more addicts.
Good job Denver
Amen!
Great idea😊
Kudos to Denver for trying something different.
It is not “different”
I love what Denver is doing. You can even print these. GJ Denver!
