Citizen group sues Longmont over Costco development plans
Matt Adams: Because they hate Longmont having nice things?
KayLynn Cepeda: When it opens, send the 12 of them to Thornton, Superior or Fort.Collins to do their shopping. The rest of us will stay here.
Tiffany McBride: How many people does this group consist of? Highly doubtful they are the majority. Probably the same people who buy a home next to an airport then complain about noise from planes.
Elizabeth Beaudoin: Thank goodness. That field is beautiful, and Longmont has enough shopping as it is. The few bucks you save at Costco is not worth the destruction of our little remaining open space!
Dave Larison: Longmont’s no-growth, anti-capitalists squawk once more.
Shawn Bebout: But yet the Sam’s Club was ok?
Claire Schlosser: Stupid. Love Costco. Very good employer. Benefits. Why, why, why.
Longmont conversation centers on temporary housing for homeless residents; sweeps not seen as option
Jeffrey Justice: One suggestion I have is for both the “housed” and “unhoused:” When you leave the parks and the pavilions take your garbage with you and dispose of it. Don’t leave your hypodermic needles, beer cans, food scraps, clothing, condoms, marijuana, dog crap, etc. Just take the time to be considerate of others, if that is even possible.
Jim Wester: Tax what you want less of. Subsidize what you want more of.
James Herring: They could camp in her yard.

Kirsten McNeill: Remember when it all started?
Matt Nicki Lautemann: Congratulations! Well done and thank you.
Chelsea Walters: Oh the memories.

Gary Barnett: Good news!
Angela Youngs: Thankful to live in a state with government that understands medical decisions are to be between doctor and patient. If you don’t want an abortion, don’t get one. Easy peasy.
Mark Eckhardt: Women are going to get an abortion whether you like it or not. I would rather them have a safe place to go with a trained professional.
Steven R Wells: No uterus, take a seat.
Holly Coreau: Killers. Sick sick. … You people are not God. Your mothers should have taken your rights away.
