The manufactured sleeping units, or MSUs for short, are for unhoused people — if Denver city leaders agree to spend millions of dollars on them."The units themselves range from about 80 to 100 square feet," Chandler said, "depending upon whether they're single units or ADA-accessible (Americans with Disabilities Act) units that are a little bit larger."The MSUs are meant to give some folks a place to rest while they get back on their feet."Basically, there's room for a bed and a small desk and somewhere to store their things," Chandler said.Tiny hom...

DENVER (KDVR) — An electrical business in east Denver is seeing a rise in break-ins. For more than two decades, owner Gary Stone said his company, Allstar Electrical Services, has never had any issues like this. The company was already hit twice this week: once at a construction site on Tuesday, and again on Friday morning at their lot off 42nd Avenue and Steele Street. Denver may buy $20,000 tiny homes for housing effort Stone said their lot has been targeted by thieves four times within the last year. "I came out back and I found two of them. They were just walking the fence line. You can see where they cut the fence, the chain-linked, RTD light rail fence,” Stone said. “They know we’re electrical contractors by what they see in the yard, so they’re usually after tools and copper wire.”Between break-ins at the lot and while on construction jobs, Stone said these thefts have cost them well over $100,000.Stone said they had equipment stolen from one of their construction job sites...

Smith: Biden’s factory jobs revival falls short

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:15:19 GMT

President Joe Biden has been traveling the U.S. touting a manufacturing revival that he no doubt hopes will help his chances for re-election. Unfortunately, there is much less substance to this “Biden Boom” than the White House would have Americans believe. Even under the rosiest of projections, the administration’s signature programs will do little to increase manufacturing employment — and even less to uplift the overall economy.Construction spending on manufacturing facilities more than doubled from an annualized rate of $81 billion this time last year to an all-time high of nearly $200 billion in August. Some of that increase can be attributed to the incentives provided by the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS Act, both championed by the president.But there are more relevant factors. Shortages caused by COVID, backlogs at major ports in 2021 and a three-year-long (and continuing) surge in retail sales created a compelling case for reshoring production even without those ince...

Ko: Working to improve quality care for patients

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:15:19 GMT

Patients across the country deserve the best possible care outcome, no matter where they liveCurrent national strategies intended to improve the quality of patient care have led to the unwarranted variations in effectiveness, efficiency, and safety we see today. While some successes have been reported, we often see mediocre care at best. But it is not for a lack of trying. Hospitals and healthcare systems are dedicating large resources, efforts, and energy towards achieving better quality. Yet, despite best intentions, our healthcare system is failing to achieve the kind of quality we want for our patients, and the type of care patients want for themselves. We need to do better.The good news is that over the last 25 years we have been quietly developing, learning, and successfully implementing a reproducible model for achieving high quality in surgery. We have learned from over 2,500 hospital implementations and believe now is an appropriate time to share our model with others in th...

Editorial: Biden White House must get serious with Iran

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:15:19 GMT

Israel made it clear on Monday that Iran will pay a price if it escalates the Gaza crisis through its Hezbollah proxy in the north. The Biden administration must send the same message.Iran has become increasingly belligerent in recent days, warning of a “huge earthquake” if Israel doesn’t cease its military response to the vicious Hamas terror attacks. But if a de-escalation is the goal, perhaps Iran could start by cutting off its financial support to radical militants while calling off Hezbollah and recognizing Israeli’s right to exist and defend itself.Instead, continued Iranian provocations have led to concerns that the nation could use Israel’s Gaza response as a precursor to open another front in the war against the Jewish state.“We can’t rule out that Iran would choose to get directly engaged some way,” Jake Sullivan, President Joe Biden’s national security adviser, said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” last Sunday. “We have to prepare for every possible contingency.”That must inclu...
