Gen X’ers swear they had Mad Max-level freedom as kids: biking miles alone, playing in woods until streetlights came on, and surviving on PB&Js packed in brown paper bags. But millennials/Zillennials side-eye this like, “Sure, Jan.” So—did 80s parents really not care, or is this just Hollywood romanticizing?

It started with a perfectly normal Tuesday afternoon. I was working from home, minding my business, when I heard aggressive knocking at my front door. Standing there was Barbara, my next-door neighbor and newly elected HOA board member, clutching her phone like it was a weapon.

Denver’s homeless hotels and clogged traffic on Pena Boulevard dominated the public comment period Monday during the City Council meeting. Homeless advocate Ana Miller told the council the conditions at the former Best Western homeless hotel on Quebec, one of many such hotels owned by the city, are “Absolutely grotesque … worse than most poorly run prisons ....(I’m) tired of hearing things are fixed. When you’re done using (a hotel) it will need to be completely gutted for habitation again. I want the council to look into these conditions and do something about it. Push for better oversight of how they’re running their shelters.”

I’m heartsick. My 5-year-old son (non-verbal, sweet, no behavioral issues) loves school—but he’s been repeatedly attacked by a classmate with violent tendencies. This isn’t the first time: ​a few months ago, this boy smacked him so hard his face swelled, requiring ice and a trip to the office. I let it slide, hoping it wouldn’t escalate. Now, the situation has gotten worse:

My dog of six years caught a cold, and my mom gave him Tylenol. By the next morning, he was gone. A simple online search would’ve told her that dogs can’t have Tylenol, but she never bothered to check. She’s given him grapes and chicken bones before, too. I was away at school, and my family didn’t even tell me until a week later—after they had already buried him. I never got to say goodbye.

When I bought my first house, I thought I was finally free—my own space, my own rules. Then I met the HOA. At first, it seemed harmless. A small monthly fee, some basic upkeep rules. No big deal, right? Wrong.

A friend of mine just helped his mother secure a Section 8 apartment in a great neighborhood. The place is beautiful, but the upfront costs? Absolutely insane. The landlord required $15k upfront, including a broker fee, just to allow her to rent under Section 8.

Guys, I need your help. My roommate in the single dorm is giving me major creeps. We’ve barely spoken since move-in, and now things are getting wild. Last week: I’m walking barefoot out of the shower, put my shoes on the shelf, and turn around to see him half a foot away—I was just in a towel! I screamed, he jumped back, grabbed my wrist like he was gonna attack me. Now I can’t even walk into the bathroom without panicking.

Denver has at least one interested party for its $10 homeless hotel for sale, a former Stay Inn, after a woman expressed a desire to buy it during Monday's City Council meeting.

Buying a condo and dealing with renovations was exhausting enough, and now this… I've been so unlucky lately. I bought my place in December and registered with the HOA, only to find out they raised the fees starting February. I contacted the HOA and found out they notified the seller about the hike a few days after I signed the contract. But here's the kicker: none of this was disclosed in any of the documents I received. I’m starting to feel like the seller intentionally hid this from me. Does anyone know if the seller is legally required to give me all the disclosures before I signed? Feels like I just got blindsided, and I have no idea what to do next.😮‍💨

Sharing my petty (but effective) HOA revenge story. For years, I lived in a neighborhood where parking in front of your own house was banned. I followed the rule grudgingly… until I got slapped with a $50 fine for a car I didn’t even own. The kicker? The car belonged to a random visitor parked briefly in front of my house.

So here’s the deal: My Bengal cat, Mr. Whiskers (aka “the tiny serial killer with a cute face”), vanished two days ago. I assume he slipped out when we opened the door in the morning. Panicked, I posted a “Lost Cat” plea in our neighborhood group chat. Minutes later, the property management called saying Mr. Whiskers had been “rescued” by a local wildlife sanctuary. It was already dark, so I had no choice but to beg them to help.

Hey everyone, let’s talk about this: If someone is riding your bumper, do you speed up or play it cool? Here’s my recent experience. I merged onto a winding road heading home (no-passing zones, obviously), and the car behind me was basically glued to my rearview. I gradually increased my speed from 55 to 65 mph over the first 5 miles, but they stayed dangerously close. When we hit the long, straight stretch? I pressed the gas pedal to the floor. Lost ’em temporarily, but then they started gaining speed again—only to pull into my neighbor’s driveway like nothing happened.

My mom married my Texan stepdad two years ago after splitting with my dad (who moved to Florida). My stepdad’s ultra-conservative—he hates that I’m applying to art school (“useless degree!”), shames me for dating (my boyfriend’s 25 and a mechanic!), and constantly trashes my mom’s “California parenting.” Now that Mom’s pregnant, he’s pushing me to leave our Arizona home by August when I graduate. Mom says she’s “too stressed” to stand up to him, even though I planned to live here while working part-time.
