What’s up with homeless camp sweeps in Denver?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:31:07 GMT

Mayor Mike Johnston’s race to reverse the trend of homelessness in Denver, and provide housing for 1,000 people living on the city’s streets before the end of the year, has created confusion about his administration’s policy around ordering cleanups — or sweeps — of homeless encampments.Johnston assures there is no pause on homeless sweeps in the city — only that his policy is fundamentally different than his predecessor, Mayor Michael Hancock’s. Johnston says he only wants to sweep a large encampment if there is housing to offer to all the people living there — with some key exceptions.“That’s the fundamental difference, linking people to housing units,” Johnston said this week.It’s unclear if that means Johnston will delay sweeps until a significant number of new housing units are constructed or acquired or how long that is expected to take. No large encampment cleanups occurred during the mayor’s first ...

Wavewulf “The North and the Sea” album review by LA Weekly

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:31:07 GMT

Dreamt up by New York City area (New Jersey) musician Nicholas Long (aka Wavewulf), “The North and the Sea” is a concept album based around an arctic/sea/Scandinavian theme. The impetus for the album came about during Long’s trip to Iceland in the autumn of 2021. While there, he found himself thinking about the power of the sea, of water, and other geological forces that make Iceland’s exotic landscape exist. Before the trip, he had been feeling claustrophobic and disconnected from people. Long says that the trip gave him a feeling of freedom – freedom to move, freedom to see, and freedom to connect. In addition, Long says that direction has always been important to him; maps, latitude, longitude, where one IS in the world.
