Becky, Littleton is known as the puesdo-Cherry Creek of the south Denver metro area. Nice high end restaurants and Sak's Fifth Ave. type of retail stores south of Littleton, in the Aspen Grove mall. Note that there is A LOT of empty retail space all around and in Littleton. The space have been empty for 5 - 10 years. Not a good economic indicator. Overbuilt retail malls. Community Churches love to move in to the space after the owners give up and lower the monthly rents. However, the high income neighborhoods West of Littleton proper support only the high-end retail shops. The name of the neighborhood area is called Columbine Valley. Multi-million dollar houses, a 2acre and also a 14 acre polo field. The Denver Polo club invites South American elite Polo Clubs to conduct polo matches each July. Very posh. However, the opening of food banks and soup kitchens and free bedding places now attracts ever more and more riff-raff. They try to set up tent cities in all the local parks just blocks off the main street near the high priced sexy restaurants. Can you say, 'hello Los Angeles!' I also know of the bad negative impact these riff-raff have on Littleton, because talk to shop owners along the main street. They tell me how they are afraid to walk their neighborhood streets at night due to staggering street riff-raff. They tell me they must clean up the human feces left behind their stores at night. They tell me they must hose off the mucus, blood, and other fluids from the front door and front of their shops. I saw the same in Los Angeles/Santa Monica before I moved away. Littleton council idiots provide drug taking kiosks for the drug addicts. Churches feed them with free food. God bless their helping bleeding hearts. I now see the dirty street people congregating in and around the McDonalds fast food to use the bath room. This is because, across the street is the Platte River. The street riff-raff sleep along the River. Then in the morning walk across the street to wash up in the McDonalds. Like fleas on a dog. They look scary. They are dirty. They twitch and jerk and jump, cause they use drugs. So more and more riff-raff and crime comes to your town. This is a trend of Littelton and it will get worse. This is a guarantee to you. Now you know.
