Homeless in Boulder hold "sleep-ins"

Boulder, Colorado homeless individuals are holding “sleep-ins” and educational events to press the city of Boulder to provide legal places for the homeless to sleep at night.

Apparently Boulder has an ordinance that allows the police to issue a $100 ticket to anyone caught “seeking shelter” on city property.

Wow!!!! What can anyone say---- that is amazing that human beings in need of shelter are ticketed for sleeping. There are NO shelters in the city of Boulder May 1 through October 15th.
