Again, most dogs at an animal shelter are mixes, so they are not lying. If you are truly "Allwise" you can figure out what a pitbull looks like without someone telling you. Right?

Most dogs at a shelter are mixes. If you are adopting a dog you can do they DNA test yourself.

If you are that concerned about adopting a "mix" pay for a DNA test yourself.

We will attract more homeless. How about this, those that want to provide shelter for the homeless can let them live in their house. Longmont will give you a tax break for doing so.

Plenty of residents would like a Go cart track, a roller coaster, and a lazy river through the city. It doesn't mean the city should fund them. Maybe this needs to go to a public vote, or a private company should build it. Maybe this tax payer money would be better spent on fixing our roads or spending the money on schools.

Does the rink make money or break even? This may be a project better suited or a private company. The city should not risk the tax payers money.

Seems like too much risk for the city too take. If there is such a high demand, wouldn't a private company be moving on this already?

If the LPD did their job, the trees would not have to be removed. Longmont needs to stop attracting transients.

So does the city only issue fines to people that can pay them?

If regular golfers have to pay to use a golf course so should disc golfers. Or they could go out and maintain the disc courser themselves and not write letters to the paper.

I City Council just allows pot shops to open, they would not have to worry about scraping up 15k for another useless study.

It is an outrage that you compare the poor and the people that are drunks in the park. They are not poor, they are lazy drunks.

Maybe the homeless in the park can be paid by the city to pick up trash and sweep the parking lots?

You can give them money, clothes, a home etc., and they will still choose to drink and sleep in the park. Why are residents that pay taxes in this town being bullied while the homeless take over the park? Will all you pro homeless people sing the same tune when Roosevelt park has 100 homeless there? Word travels fast in the homeless community, so that might not be far fetched. I for one don't want the message for Longmont to be"Come to Longmont, hang out drink and sleep in the parks. The cops won't do anything, they will ask you your name and tell you to have a great day. The residents that live there are to PC to do anything about you either" Thu, 9 Jul 2015 22:50:04 +0000 http://www.timescall.com/longmont-local-news/ci_28456221/longmont-roosevelt-park-microcosm-regional-homelessness-problem#IDComment983824076 http://www.timescall.com/longmont-local-news/ci_28456221/longmont-roosevelt-park-microcosm-regional-homelessness-problem#IDComment983823396 I thought "Christians" take care and love everyone?

Maybe Lifebridge will let them camp on their property? They have enough land right?

The homeless in the park do not want help, they want to drink and do drugs in the park all day, while they laugh at residents and police that can't do a damn thing.
