Did I forget a section in the playbook about not vaping and getting handsy at Beetlejuice? We havenโt had that issue with any of our newcomers, but now that we know you're paying attention, we'll add it.
Weekend plans are in the bag(s). Itโs not too late to get downtown for the first-ever Colorado Cornhole Classic!
This is going to be the best new tradition in the Ballpark Neighborhood. Good food, good music and a great way to soak up the last bit of summer.
Denverites have never had the opportunity to vote directly on affordable housing in this city. That changes this November. City Council has approved the plan to put affordable housing on the ballot.

Not to ruin the surprise, but Iโm nominating our houseless neighbor that built a bar at one of our vibrant

Venezualan gangs took over apartment buildings in Colorado and charged the tenants rent as if theyโre the landlords. They robbed stores including gun stores, and violent crime skyrocketed.

It's been a year since we declared a state of emergency on homelessness in Denver. We set out to act fast and start using a new approach. In one year, our city's become a national leader in the fight to end homelessness.
With todayโs exciting announcement of proposed higher taxes, I want to celebrate with another family friendly game called Conopoly. Get in the vibrant

I actually am writing a book about my homeless hotels and defunding essential services to pay for newcomers. Itโs going to be a memoir called: Destroying a City in One Year.
Denver is actually writing the book on welcoming newcomers. Weโve changed, adapted and found models that work, and now weโve even open-sourced those strategies for use in other cities across the country.

Hold on. Councilperson Lewis is correct. We are now referring to all migrant gangs as Newcomer Social Circles. Itโs important to remember that words matter and we must destigmatize all dangerous language about our newcomers.

Insider tip: we will be cutting more funds for essential services to further support our newcomers and homeless hotels. Budget for The Office of Social Equity and Innovation will remain fully funded.

Just so we are clear: we only enforce certain laws in vibrant

Fireworks are fun, but it is illegal for residents in Denver and Colorado to set off fireworks that explode or leave the ground. You can report illegal fireworks at any time by reporting them online

You in?
Join us for our next

event where we drop off safe use supplies to my homeless hotels and micro communities. Each kit comes with Naloxone, alcohol swabs, and clean needles.
What a great day dropping off the backpacks and supplies that you helped pack! Thanks to everyone who volunteered with our first Give5 Mile High event, and to community partners that made this possible. Students and teachers in Denver are ready for the school year because of you.
Reminder to bring your family to our Give5 volunteer event tomorrow to help beautify Denver. We have five clean-up projects across the city. My wife Courtney and I, and our kids, will be starting at the Donut House location. Hope you can join us!
