No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

(The Center Square) - California State Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil, R-Jackson, became the first Democratic State Senator to join the Republican Party mid-term in 80 years.
                The rural State Senate Fourth District has a noticeable Republican leaning and hasn’t voted for a Democrat for president since 1992. Alvarado-Gil came second in the primary for her first term in 2022 behind another Democrat, guaranteeing a Democrat would gain the seat due to the state’s so-called “jungle primary” that allows the top two vote-getting candidates — regardless of...
