Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.

In 1917, the seventy thousand residents of San Diego had a decision to make: “Smokestacks versus Geraniums.” Few cities have the chance to define their future, but the candidates in the 1917 election for mayor made the two possibilities clear. Gilded Age bankertype Louis J. Wilde—for whom no industrial project was too big to finance—marketed himself as “The Smokestack Candidate,” promising good jobs and good wages through the development of the city’s deepwater harbor into a center for shipping and manufacturing. Department store owner “Geranium George” Marston—champion of Balboa Park and organizer of the wildly successful 1915 Panama-California Exposition—saw the city’s welcoming climate and natural beauty as its greatest assets, promising a prosperous future in real estate and tourism through beautification and carefully managed growth.

Conservatives have done the United States a huge favor by explaining in detail what they’ll try to do if Donald Trump is reelected. Project 2025 , a “presidential transition project” of the Heritage Foundation, helpfully lays out how a group of former Trump officials would like to transform the country into a right-wing dystopia where the rich thrive and the rest of us die aspiring to be rich.
