And the so called "journalists" only report the crisis, but never who created the crisis, ever notice that? Oh yeah, keep voting Blue, because they care about you, and don't forget to pay your taxes for this..........LMAO
Because the typical Portlander wants to be a nice person and do what "the good people do". A good person would never want the homeless arrested or have their stuff taken away. A good person is for the City handing out Free needles to homeless drug addicts (Harm Reduction Program) so they don't spread diseases. They will complain, complain, complain but will continue to vote for the same policies that created this mess in the first place. You see them go out of their way to say "houseless" instead of homeless, "campsites" instead of homeless camps, etc. They don't want them to be arrested but they don't want them in their neighborhoods. It's total insanity! As someone who was lived in Portland for 25 years and just paid thousands of dollars for the Metro Supporting Housing Services Tax (Homeless Tax) - this infuriates me! We need to take a hardline with the homeless. The more supportive we are of them, the more come to this state to get all the free food and services that come with it. The majority of these homeless people are on drugs or mentally ill and they don't want help. They don't want to go to shelters. But a typical Portlander won't say that, they just keep saying "we need more affordable housing"

Studied harder...worked harder STFU IDIOT !!! Life. Medical Bills . Etc happens . This taking over homeless crap shouldn't happen in lower income neighborhoods either . Now go educate yourself you pompous entitled POS !!!!!
@@explorewithme4707 I am myself 'homeless'. (As I live in a converted Greyhound bus, I don't feel that this term is actually accurate, but that is how I am defined by law). I am not a 'loser' - I just prefer to live this way than submit to economic enslavement. For me, living on the street is decision based upon values/mortality. The basic cost of living in CA is both artificial and WRONG. The fact that only people who have access to a great deal of money can chose to live completely off grid, is WRONG. The fact that it costs a lot of money to get rid of garbage is wrong. The fact that development of one unit of housing costs approximately $800,000 is WRONG. The fact that you can work a full time job, and still not earn enough to pay rent, is WRONG. The only way these things are going to change is if/when people start refusing to invest time/energy/money into supporting a system that's too fundamentally broken to support them back. So that's what I am doing.
1:25-1:27, they're lining up to get a fresh supply of dope. On a street like that, there's at least 1 dealer either living with them or comes by regularly to keep them supplied. I understand what those ladies are going through, my immediate neighborhood was invaded by homeless fentanyl dopers two summers in a row, 2022 and 2023. It was a 24-7 nightmare both summers. Until the Multnomah County Chair decides to get her act together and work with the city, this nonsense will continue. Homeless aren't "campers", they're vagrants, there's a difference.
I believe in Po rtland this maybe true however I have feed the homeless for over 5 yrs most are very educated they do not want to be there but nobody will help them to get there life together many are from abusive family relationships, divorces with a women that raised children alll her life now divorced at an older age is very hard to find a job that can pay the rent so I feel for the people and I do feel for Portland but then you voted for this voting blue will never change this so take yoour head out of the sand . People need to vote for the person that is going to help them not harm them the economy was great I was able to buy groceries, bills and extras on SS now seniors are haveing to make make the decision to eat or pay bill ..The left want socialsim to control everyone so take your head out of the sand and vote for the party that benefits your life....God bless hopefully the homeless will try harder to change their life and th community will think before voting.......
This doesn't happen in "every" neighborhood. Only poor and middleclass neighborhoods. This is never allowed where the rich people and politicians live.
I agree with the meme regarding suffering. "Half of the population doesn't care about your problems. The other half, are glad that you have the problems and not them." Such is the reality of life. Want to solve homelessness? Make housing, a fundamental right for all U.S. citizens.
The homeless have just as much of a right to be there as the wealthy homeowners. This is the United States. Having more money than someone else does not give you preferential treatment.
Fire the sheriff!!!!!!! Arrest people if they don’t follow the law. People that fight the sweeps get their address and send homeless to their homes I swear they be singing a different tune. You all voted for the people in office??? The problem is people can’t stay consistent with holding people accountable!
Instead of pointing your finger and expecting one politician to resolve the homeless issue for you, try pointing that finger at yourself and Contribute to homeless outreach programs. Volunteer at a shelter. Offer skills to help better a life. Donate clothes or household goods. Fundraise. Advocate for mental health or substance abuse services. Support job training programs. Educate yourself and others on the underlying causes of homelessness. Raise awareness on homeless initiatives happening all over the city.
We cut our losses and moved to the Philippines. Portland sucks and the city continually screwed us over. We don’t have to deal with that BS anymore thankfully.
This makes me so sad. My family left St Johns in 2022 and moved to New Zealand and when I see things haven't changed it's heartbreaking. Even here in Auckland, a city of 1.7 million people, the public homelessness is nothing compared to Portland; there is a housing first policy here so even in the urban core you only see a handful of people on the streets. And I'll be honest, after picking up used syringes and repeatedly seeing flaming RVs, it's a huge relief to be out of America. (Though I do have a sense of survivors guilt because of all our friends and neighbors who are still there.)
I was homeless, got into drug's went to prison and then I got to know Jesus and he changed my life...Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $36,000 in 2months . I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough! Now I have a new identity and a child of God.

It’s a shame what the democrats have let Portland become. It was a great city when I lived there in the early 2000’s. Now it’s a cess pool. So glad we don’t have these issues in Idaho.
@@maxhugen Don't be stupid. There are multitude of resources out there including housing and drug treatment options that are being offered. If that's good enough they could always come over to your house.
Where are these people supposed to go? How many of you know what the leading cause of homelessness is in Portland Oregon?? When is the poverty that's causing this going to be addressed by our city leaders?
Life is way easier if you can figure how to show up for work 40 hours a week. It may sound harder. It is not. It is easier to work full time to not have to deal with being broke and intoxicated. Go to rehab! Stop stealing! Get a job! Yes it will be hard. Life is hard. For everyone.
The dream of the nineties is alive in Portland...Portland. Also, you don't want your dog to be run over, maybe work for a living and have a yard it can live in.
If you obviously can't take care of yourself, no job, drug addiction, then don't be so selfish as to take on an animal. I know homelessness is lonely. It is wrong to drag an innocent animal, into your twisted lifestyle. You simply can't afford to be a decent pet owner. They cost money to raise responsibly. Get off the fetty, get a job, and an apartment. Then you can have a dog.
The US Supreme Court, that Trump put in place, ruled that state and local laws that penalize homeless people for sleeping outdoors do not violate the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment!

Wont ever happen as long as the dapper don of dope is in his office he is the friend of all fentynal he is the harry krishna of heroin the master of meth mca of mda officer oxycodone the fresh prince of poverty and buyin up all that stressed property kind of like the show boondocks with the episode the Itis he is ed wuncsler needing that water front property at a discount price just set up.a camp its his leverage device
That’s what I always think. And if they want back in the city they need a job.
Homeless reservation
@uhohjrama druggie reservation sounds great let's put it in your back yard
I am so glad I don’t live in Portland, Oregon anymore.
Amen.....never again.
We moved away from Vancouver, Washington (just across the river from Portland), about 3 1/2 years ago and have never looked back. We now live in a community in a state where police enforce the laws and homeless encampments are not allowed. There are resources available for those who need help, but people are held to a higher standard.
@@realistindenial : I am glad you guys found a happy place. I noticed over the years Washington state has gotten bad. I am still in Oregon but in a better are for now.
@@tazmod7272 The northwest is a beautiful area. We still have family there and occasionally go back to visit. We miss the trees, rivers, and mountains, but not the leftist politics or the high cost of living. In any event, I wish you well. 🙏
@@realistindenial : I first came out to eastern Oregon in 1971 from Michigan for a summer job with the US Forest Service. Came out again in 1972. Move permanently in 1973 in Eugene and later in Portland. Met my wife in Portland. I then 26 years ago moved out of Portland. Traveled all over the state visiting different sites. Beautiful state geographically. However, I haven’t been pleased with the way the state has gone politically. I agree with you on your points.
I saw a article stating Multnomah county had 99million at the end of last year for helping the homeless where's that money going or is it just sitting in a bank?
The KKK communist democrats who have a strangle hold over the west coast picket the money.
Look at the gay Bitch Oregon governor who illegally put her mental nuts wife in a job and pays her massive taxpayer funds
It goes to pay salaries for the non-profits.
Non profits. Who hand out free stuff to drug addicts
Its stolen by leftists
Politician's pockets......
Can’t stand to see homeless people with animals!!!!
@@crushedorchids The humane society is a joke they give animals to anybody that is why there are dog fighting rings I think to thin them out very sad they need to be investigated...
Having my dog while I was homeless is what kept me sane
@@DividedWeFallll No it didn't. Every crazy person with an animal claims it's keeping them sane while they nut out.
@@DividedWeFallll Sure i do, assuming you aren't a lying scumbag (you probably are, how'd you become homeless?). I know you were homeless and "only kept sane" by the presence of a dog. Any normal person would call you crazy for this. You wouldn't know that because you aren't normal.
See there? I do know something about you.
And this is exactly why we sold our home that we loved and got the hell out of portland………happy now in a new home that’s safe with almost no crime in area
Time to get your shit together.
Well, it’s harsh, but I think what you say is true. If the neighbors in this area had studied harder, worked harder when they were younger, maybe they would be able to afford to live in a nicer neighborhood like me where there’s less or no camping.
Studied harder...worked harder STFU IDIOT !!! Life. Medical Bills . Etc happens . This taking over homeless crap shouldn't happen in lower income neighborhoods either . Now go educate yourself you pompous entitled POS !!!!!
bingo
Nope,, Not in Portland. Maybe give them trophys?
@lylewalker5681 The Force is strong with this one.
I pray for those without hearts or souls
Only thimg i feel sorry for is that dog. Those people are just losers.
@@explorewithme4707 I am myself 'homeless'. (As I live in a converted Greyhound bus, I don't feel that this term is actually accurate, but that is how I am defined by law). I am not a 'loser' - I just prefer to live this way than submit to economic enslavement. For me, living on the street is decision based upon values/mortality. The basic cost of living in CA is both artificial and WRONG. The fact that only people who have access to a great deal of money can chose to live completely off grid, is WRONG. The fact that it costs a lot of money to get rid of garbage is wrong. The fact that development of one unit of housing costs approximately $800,000 is WRONG. The fact that you can work a full time job, and still not earn enough to pay rent, is WRONG. The only way these things are going to change is if/when people start refusing to invest time/energy/money into supporting a system that's too fundamentally broken to support them back. So that's what I am doing.
@@jessitaran763 you can move elsewhere 🤷♂️ i am certain i can guess your pronouns..VIC/TIM
@@adamsilberman9377 all homeless are worthless because everyone of them plays victim
Oregon is full of woods,get out of peoples neighborhoods. We have homeless in Florida but 95% of them live in the woods,out of site.
You know nothing if you need to go that low to call people losers. Go read the Bible and learn to show more love.
He says “I don’t want to be out here…”. BS yes he does.
"Complex problem"?!
You are living where you shouldn't be.
1:25-1:27, they're lining up to get a fresh supply of dope. On a street like that, there's at least 1 dealer either living with them or comes by regularly to keep them supplied. I understand what those ladies are going through, my immediate neighborhood was invaded by homeless fentanyl dopers two summers in a row, 2022 and 2023. It was a 24-7 nightmare both summers. Until the Multnomah County Chair decides to get her act together and work with the city, this nonsense will continue. Homeless aren't "campers", they're vagrants, there's a difference.
Wonderful "sweeping statement". 💩
@maxhugen cry about the truth
I believe in Po rtland this maybe true however I have feed the homeless for over 5 yrs most are very educated they do not want to be there but nobody will help them to get there life together many are from abusive family relationships, divorces with a women that raised children alll her life now divorced at an older age is very hard to find a job that can pay the rent so I feel for the people and I do feel for Portland but then you voted for this voting blue will never change this so take yoour head out of the sand . People need to vote for the person that is going to help them not harm them the economy was great I was able to buy groceries, bills and extras on SS now seniors are haveing to make make the decision to eat or pay bill ..The left want socialsim to control everyone so take your head out of the sand and vote for the party that benefits your life....God bless hopefully the homeless will try harder to change their life and th community will think before voting.......
@@Troubles0125 Ask someone to show you how to use commas, full stops, and sentence construction.
If they come back just arrest them, laws apply to EVERYONE equally.
Yeah, why not... the US is only the *sixth highest country" in incarceration rates... Go for #1. 😝
Wait. Police? Oh no.
This doesn't happen in "every" neighborhood. Only poor and middleclass neighborhoods. This is never allowed where the rich people and politicians live.
Birds fly upside down because there's nothing worth shitting on....
Rude
@@lulajohns1883 So is shitting on the sidewalk....
@@philabowl8073 what is the fix? How should homelessness be fixed??
@@lulajohns1883 lol
🤣🤣🤣. I've never heard that but its hilarious thank you
Its not a camp its illegal and should not be. WTF why do we pay taxes and get no response. Come on Portland get your &^%^^% together.
You get what you vote for.
lol election season camping ban. Once voting is over back to normal it goes 😂
Dogs on leash rarely get run over.
I agree with the meme regarding suffering. "Half of the population doesn't care about your problems. The other half, are glad that you have the problems and not them." Such is the reality of life. Want to solve homelessness? Make housing, a fundamental right for all U.S. citizens.
Oprah housing! You get a house! And you get a house! Upkeep, taxes, and living expenses be damned.
Everytime a city tries to build affordable housing those same people complaining about the homelessness, NIMBY it out of existence.
The mayor is a coward. let add the governor or Oregon she’s about a waste of time!! Go join California
The homeless have just as much of a right to be there as the wealthy homeowners. This is the United States. Having more money than someone else does not give you preferential treatment.
Someday, nature is going to show who's really in charge. Note: It's not humans.
Fire the sheriff!!!!!!! Arrest people if they don’t follow the law. People that fight the sweeps get their address and send homeless to their homes I swear they be singing a different tune. You all voted for the people in office??? The problem is people can’t stay consistent with holding people accountable!
“Progressively…worse…” Oh, the truth and irony of that lady’s statement!
So when will bumfights volume 5 be filmed?
It’s an industry folks; an industry.
So how are you voting in November? For more of the same or something weirdly different?
I got some bad news for ya, lady, that homeless camp has been established and it ain’t going away, ever, probably
Your purple hair tells me you voted for this.
YES
tells me low IQ and easily manipulatable
Your purple pubes tell me you banged an alien
Who would want your kids around that. I can't believe people are that blind
keep voting for the same people and you get the same results, reap the whirlwind!
Leadership sucks...
Actually the leaders TOLD them they were going to support this and they elected them and will again. Why mad now
We are a cruel people 😢
Look at them complaining about the problems they voted for. Then harassing them too.
Im so happy to be leaving this sick horrible city. Worst mistake I ever made was moving to Portland.
Can the city do garbage pickup?
Even third world countries have shanty-towns on the edges of towns, but where do homeless Americans go?
Sorry, but if they acted like good neighbors and acted normal, kept everything calm and clean, but nope. So, you got to go.
"Sell your posessions, give it to the poor" Jesus.
Thanks Democrat officials and the progressive citizens who whine and complain about the dump, but will still continue voting for them.
Those dogs could do as well on their own. The cats could do better.
And Ron Wyden sits idly by while Portland burns.
Instead of pointing your finger and expecting one politician to resolve the homeless issue for you, try pointing that finger at yourself and Contribute to homeless outreach programs. Volunteer at a shelter. Offer skills to help better a life. Donate clothes or household goods. Fundraise. Advocate for mental health or substance abuse services. Support job training programs. Educate yourself and others on the underlying causes of homelessness. Raise awareness on homeless initiatives happening all over the city.

It's a little late. You support the policies that create this and deserve every bit of it. Portland was awesome 30 years ago...
Amen!
"Come on Man"? This is Portland. This is what the citizens have voted for.
We cut our losses and moved to the Philippines. Portland sucks and the city continually screwed us over. We don’t have to deal with that BS anymore thankfully.
Nobody should hit animals. But camps should nkt be allowed like this
The lady who yelled: “This is wrong!” voted for Measure 110 which led to massive numbers of people using drugs in public.
The first thing that needs to change is you.
Yes you do wanna be out there....all you all WANT to be out there....otherwise you wouldn't be OUT THERE......
No help without drug screens, I have to do them to earn my money.
This makes me so sad. My family left St Johns in 2022 and moved to New Zealand and when I see things haven't changed it's heartbreaking. Even here in Auckland, a city of 1.7 million people, the public homelessness is nothing compared to Portland; there is a housing first policy here so even in the urban core you only see a handful of people on the streets. And I'll be honest, after picking up used syringes and repeatedly seeing flaming RVs, it's a huge relief to be out of America. (Though I do have a sense of survivors guilt because of all our friends and neighbors who are still there.)
Guess what Angie? You voted for this. Enjoy it
Guarantee the purple hair voted for this.
Lol
The lady with the short purple hair and neon-colored nails keeps voting the same way but nothing changes. It's a complete mystery. 🤷♂
If they're living homeless. Be it in a vehicle or in a tent. It's on them. They refuse to accept shelter. No one should feel sorry for them.
Get sober. Theres NO OTHER WAY!
Now imagine a harris/walz administration, this kind of nonsense will grow 10 fold.
I was homeless, got into drug's went to prison and then I got to know Jesus and he changed my life...Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $36,000 in 2months . I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough! Now I have a new identity and a child of God.
Hello how do you make such monthly ?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God...
What a testimony!!! 🙏🙏🙏I'm genuinely curious to know how you earn that much monthly.
I work at a restaurant here in Houston Texas. Things have been really difficult as I'm a single mom and trying my best to pay bills and take care of my daughters..
I know this lady just mentioned here . She's really good with and on her job. She's helped a couple of families and individuals' finances.
YES!!! That's exactly her name( Mrs Claire Morin) so many people have recommended highly about her I'm huge beneficiary of her platform from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺.
isn't Wheeler still the mayor? Exemplary of stupidity, Hear back from his office?....laughable question with an unspoken answer. A start to the homeless problem requires his removal. Isn't he still the mayor?
It’s a shame what the democrats have let Portland become. It was a great city when I lived there in the early 2000’s. Now it’s a cess pool. So glad we don’t have these issues in Idaho.
Jail the repeat offenders who refuse help.
What help? Maybe that's the real problem...
@maxbsjaggendas... there's help you drug bums don't want it
@@maxhugen Don't be stupid. There are multitude of resources out there including housing and drug treatment options that are being offered. If that's good enough they could always come over to your house.
@@seric4546 Don't be stupid. The Joint Office of Homeless Services is failing in it's mission. Maybe you can help them out and offer _your_ house.
Where are these people supposed to go? How many of you know what the leading cause of homelessness is in Portland Oregon?? When is the poverty that's causing this going to be addressed by our city leaders?
"I'm so edgy!!! I have purple hair and neon green fingernails!!! Look at ME!!!!!"
So she is the problem? You idiot!
right.. What does she teach those kids?

Weird that lawlessness leads to... More lawlessness
Lack of housing prices of housing rising it amazes me they won't build more housing to lower the cost
“It’s been like this for 3.5 years”
What changed 3.5 years ago?

You need to move to a better neighborhood. That's a poor people's neighborhood problem.
SEE COMENT ABOVE, HE BEATS UP THE DOG TO GET DRUG MONEY!
Life is way easier if you can figure how to show up for work 40 hours a week. It may sound harder. It is not. It is easier to work full time to not have to deal with being broke and intoxicated. Go to rehab! Stop stealing! Get a job! Yes it will be hard. Life is hard. For everyone.

Sounds good I will help
Who? Cops? You’ll arrest the cops. You do it
@@Charles-d4e3b no not arrest the cops think again
Are the Homeless supposed to disappear into the woodwork?
The answer is simple. They can pay for a house or apartment. They can live in a city shelter. They can live in jail. Everything else is an excuse.
“Progressively worse “
Keep voting Dimocrap cause it's working so well for you. Remember this, your world is the one YOU voted for.
We used to have poor houses. We need that again on the outside of town.
We do. It’s called shelters or tiny home communities.
The dream of the nineties is alive in Portland...Portland. Also, you don't want your dog to be run over, maybe work for a living and have a yard it can live in.
what do you expect? keep voting Democrat and see that nothing gets fixed
People need to start reading the policies and procedures. These polices used is only used for division.
If you obviously can't take care of yourself, no job, drug addiction, then don't be so selfish as to take on an animal. I know homelessness is lonely. It is wrong to drag an innocent animal, into your twisted lifestyle. You simply can't afford to be a decent pet owner. They cost money to raise responsibly. Get off the fetty, get a job, and an apartment. Then you can have a dog.
The US Supreme Court, that Trump put in place, ruled that state and local laws that penalize homeless people for sleeping outdoors do not violate the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment!
