Description
Prior to the first sweep of a homeless encampment on his watch, Mayor Mike Johnston made a visit to meet the Denverites living on the street at 22nd and Stout. So, how did it go? And now that the sweep has happened, what’s next? Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi dig into the details, plus take a look at Johnston’s homelessness plans for the remainder of 2023. Then, another fight over bike lanes ensues — this time, in Cap Hill — and Palisade peach season is in full effect!
We mentioned Denverite’s reporting on this sweep, along with his conversations with folks impacted by it. Bree talked a 2017 Westword profile of the Torres family, who lost their home twice to eminent domain. Paul talked about Harrison Ford’s legit aviation experience outside of the movies and recognized how cool Carpio-Sanguinette Park really is.
