Heck, we can hardly afford his FASTER tax after his handiwork on PERA.

It has been empty and "for sale" for at least 5 years with no results, and no homeless being sheltered, or whatever its original purpose was. What's with this?

I'm pretty sure that Boulder residents would make CQS look like normal people if this move somehow miraculously happened. In fact, I'm pretty sure I can hear the shrieks of horror, all the way in Longmont, right now.

Are you saying that's the same as hourly (or more) skydiving flights year round? I would think CQS would be thrilled if flights were limited to that frequency.

That seems to have wasted as much time and money as anything.

It will only get worse. We went to one of our favorite dispersed camp sites last year, only to find someone had hauled numerous cases of empty liquor bottles to shoot. The place was completely trashed with broken glass and spent casings. This site had literally been pristine for the last 30 years. Note: This isn't an anti-gun rant, I shoot responsibly, and litter free, multiple times per month. It is, however, an anti-moron rant.

It's still for sale. Of course, there would have to be a resident referee if the place was filled up with homeless people. Maybe some would behave though. I believe it could be a good thing for people that actually want to fly straight and get out of the homeless cycle. I would feel sorry for the closest (only) neighbor though.

At present, all these jokers have to do is live outside a testing area and they can fool around with their engines all they want, even disabling emissions equipment altogether.

Maybe even yell and wave my arms around in a menacing manner too.

I guess stranger things have happened.
