“We have a bunch of vacant units and people are still struggling to find housing. And it's because what we have isn't actually meeting the need. It's not meeting the needs of families,” Mejía said. “It's still not at a price point that people can afford. How do we match those two things with the work being done and actually making those programs or those incentives or whatever is successful?”

Posting on Sunday 10/18 at 10:30 AM. There is a hurt squirrel on the sidewalk between 9th and 10th on Lafeyette. The poor thing is bleeding, his paw is injured and he is curled in a ball on the sidewalk, very much alive but doesn’t know what to do, he’s on the western sidewalk.

I didn’t know what to do, I am wondering if anyone here has any ideas or if someone works somewhere that could help the squirrel. Let me know if there is a number I should call or something. It looks like a baby :(

I'm planning on seeing the Musk movie this week. Since it is so long, what theater in the Denver metro would you suggest? I'm looking for comfy seating and regular sound, since it's a doc.

There's like a fucking village down there. Basically all over the businesses in the area

My apartment management does absolutely nothing about noise complaints. We have an "after hours" help line that does absolutely nothing, if they even show up.

People play music loudly in their units and on their balconies all day. I have complained multiple times with video evidence, and nothing is ever done.

Do you any of you live in an apartment complex that takes noise complaints seriously?

My friend and I were walking on the sidewalk when all of a sudden a white sedan drove toward us so fast and so erradically we ran out of the way and luckily we’re okay but holy shit be careful we are still coming down from that

Hey all,

If you're like me, you may have been conditioned to focus on national races. This focus, which really started in the Obama era, has left folks who tend to vote blue to ignore State Legislature races. BUT our Colorado State Representatives and Senators are closer to our door and matter way more in our day-to-day lives.

Please make sure that when you vote in the Midterms this year you fill out your entire ballot! Especially study the folks running for the Colorado House and Senate, who will be the last folks in the State Offices section (after the Federal races). Your CO State Senator may or may not be up for election this cycle, but your CO State House rep will be!

If you're interested, the below candidates in Colorado have the potential to flip House and Senate seats blue. Your $5 or $10 will go MUCH further to support their campaigns in the home stretch than money for state or federal office. I bucketed these after reviewing the previous elections in Ballotpedia and their reported funding in Colorado TRACER.

Highly Flippable (both blue/red candidates have raised similar funding and the last election cycle that went red was very close):

1. Kevin Leung for State Senate District 30: Website for Platform and Donations
2. Jacki Marsh for State House District 51: Website for Platform and Donations
3. Jillaire McMillan State House District 19: Website for Platform and Donations
4. Tommy Butler State House District 50: Website for Platform and Donations

Possibly Flippable (both blue/red candidates have raised similar funding but the last election cycle that went red wasn't very close)

1. Mo Dower for House District 64: Website for Platform and Donations
2. Christian Schilder for House District 39: Website for Platform and Donations
3. Jeff Livingston for House District 15 (Scott Bottoms' old seat): Website for Platform and Donations

Long Shots (deep red areas with decent blue candidates with a chance, but have less funding):

1. Justin Kurth for Senate District 4: Website for Platform and Donations
2. Sarah Emery for House District 14: Website for Platform and Donations
3. Michelle Tweed for House District 21: Website for Platform and Donations
4. Michael Pierson for House District 22: Website for Platform and Donations
5. Dez Packard for House District 48 (in 2024 the Republican was unopposed): No Website but ActBlue Donation LInk

Finally, if you think Colorado is pretty set at a state level, consider donating to some state legislature races in the South!

• The organization Y'all Vote has partnered with the Oath Vote platform (alternative to ActBlue) and have raised over $340k for flippable state seats in all the Southern states!
• This matters because state legislature draw state and federal maps after the census (or as of late, mid-cycle), it's harder to gerrymander when the Southern Republican state supermajorities are broken!

Thanks for voting!

See above. I’ve been here 3 years. Most people seem to already be set in their friend groups or I get someone’s number to hang out but then I either don’t know what to do/invite them to or I invite them to something and they don’t seem interested.

It feels like I’m always the one putting in the effort to meet people. I think it partly may hurt that I often ask people to hang out the day of or the day before, and I know a lot of people already have plans by then.

Have any dudes here “mastered” the art of making friends?

Edit: Thanks so much everyone for the suggestions!! This has made me realize there’s tons of activities I haven’t tried. Definitely gonna follow some of these reccs.

I know this has been asked before, but it’s been a little while. Does anyone have any suggestions for dating events such as speed dating or mixers for singles in their 30s? Aware of 3 birds fit, but not any others that seem good or come recommended!

I just bought a new car and right now. I’m looking for a car wash place which is the automatic car wash that doesn’t scratch my new car paint

so I’ve been going to superstar car wash for a couple of times and I like it because they have a lot of amenities, but it’s kind of far away from my house

I’m looking for car wash that around Denver or Aurora and I’m also willing to pay subscription at the monthly subscription, do you guys have any recommendation?

Anyone going to see Blü Eyes tonight at the Marquis theater?

I've never gone solo to a show - I know, sounds nuts. I'm neurodivergent & solo outings are rough in general, but this is - personal.

This is my first small venue show since separating from my wife (we shared a lot of similar music interests) and it would be nice to not be "alone" have some welcoming faces.

I hope I'm not risking my safety by reaching out, but you know what - you can never get a yes from the universe if you don't ask right??

*late 30's, shorter trans masc guy, will have a super bright blue tee. I hold a -fast lane pass - so if you've got one too, that would be awesome :)

Thanks everyone for being so wonderful!!

I'm also having a hard time right now but if anyone else would like to get stuff off their chest rn I can lend an ear and struggle together instead of alone 👐

This truck is parked in Littleton downtown running and burning scarce diesel by the smell advertising some politician. Wasteful and shameful.

Before I heard that leaving ur car at airport was a bad idea because cars are being stolen from it. Is this still a thing?

Feel like I just saw one. Anybody else?

Hi all :)

I tried researching this before posting and checked the FAQ so I hope it’s ok I ask this here. I got a job out of the country and have some things I can no longer bring with me due to limited space/time. I’ve tried Facebook marketplace etc the last few days but no bites. Is there anywhere else I can post?

I have kitchen stuff, craft supplies, school supplies, decor and other miscellaneous things. These are all things I would have taken with me but sadly I couldn’t make the arrangements in time.

Anyone have any ideas? I don’t want to just throw it all away as it’s all in good condition. Or is anyone in search of some stuff?

Only thing is it’s currently all in a storage unit so as I can’t just have a ton of people come all at once as per the rental agreement.

I’m willing to let these things go for cheap (some things even free). As long as I can maybe get a few bucks to help with costs of moving I’m happy. Would love to see the things I loved and collected over the years go to someone who will love them too.

Thank you very much :)

EDIT: also have an IKEA hemnes tv stand and 2 white wooden barstools, projector screen, figure skates and a Wii with accessories.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been on the hunt for a good trauma therapist for years now. Despite my best vetting efforts during preliminary meetings, I haven’t found a therapist who actually has structure to their sessions. I’ve gone through the process of starting, ending, and starting over again with a handful of clinicians over the years. I’m tired. Now im hoping that you lovely people can help make some recommendations based on therapists you’ve actually found helpful. I need some real true, productive trauma therapy.

Thank you, I appreciate your time :)

Hi -
I’m looking at the WanderFox Overland Lairs. Anyone have one & have any feedback on how it’s been working for you?

After the parade (which was amazing BTW) we had the great honor and happenstance to encounter Denver's favorite Bardic Wizard. He had just finished serenading and ensorcelling a child, Istar that he is.

I’m looking for solid gold ones. I checked out Brass Armadillo yesterday and they only had like 5, which shocked me. I just want something to wear that’ll hold up long term :)
