Portland homeowner threatens to sue city over homeless camps, claims he can't sell house & leave

- A Portland man KATU spoke with more than a year ago is now threatening to sue over homeless camps near his property. Chris Pearcey is trying to sell his house but says he's trapped by the tents nearby.
Pearcey had July 7 circled on his calendar. It's when Portland's new daytime camping ban took effect.
"It breaks my heart that the city keeps giving these empty promises," said Pearcey. "On the 7th, there was supposed to be new action."
The same day he put his North Portland home on the market. But Pearcey says nothing in the neighborhood has changed.

His threat of "voting on the other side of the ticket" really doesn't hold much weight when he's literally leaving the area.
Won't matter they'll just send out 100,000 more phony ballots on out corrupt motor voter system. Wash them through the electronic machines and nothing changes.
That just tells you he's been voting liberal for a LONG time, and this is just the consequences of his actions.
More like the other side doesn’t have a real solution either. It’s easy to talk about what you would do if you were in power but this isn’t a new problem and it exists under both parties.
@@leighbotts9694 There is one solution. End divorce laws. Families have to stay together. zero homeless in the 50's.
@@krisangel7080 Zero homeless in the 1950s, are you effin' nuts? There were 50s era skid rows in every city in the country. Lots of men who came back from WW2 and with PTSD and mental illness were hopping trains and committing crimes in the 1950s. Stop watching re-runs of Leave It to Beaver and come back to reality.
Welcome to the Portland you voted for and will continue to vote for....now you have to deal with it
Ain't it great!
Yep. There should be an ad valorem tax on real estate sales to address the housing for the poor, given the very high prices of homes in that area.
the city gave them what they voted for lol
@@702prodigy Hello, Christian! Push any of your fellow man down in the gutter today to make yourself feel better?
That's right, you just did. Go confess your sins so you're forgiven. Right?
@@cassandra9699so your solution is to punish those who buy homes, for the price they pay for said homes? What an asinine, irrelevant, useless proposition. Property owners don’t set market value for the property they purchase. Their option is to not buy in a given area if there is an issue with inflated market pricing. Penalizing those who purchase homes does absolutely nothing to address the big picture issue. If we applied this kind of punitive logic to all consumer goods, no one would buy anything. Overcharging buyers for property would have the opposite effect you seem to think it would, to an almost comedic degree. You don’t solve inflated market pricing and lack of inventory issues by punishing end users. What next, the Robin Hood approach?🤦🏾♀️
Blind party loyalty can't be more important than critical thinking and common sense. He didn't get mad until it affected him personally. Oh, well..
Portland, Bay Area people don’t have many options, ultra far left, progressive, left.
Pick one.
Winner takes all in presidential elections is pushing blue & red states farther apart.
They should allocate electoral college votes proportionally to keep states in the centre.
That is almost always the way. The left are great at that. There ideology can destroy everyone else's life but once it touches their lives then it's a different story
Going to start happen a lot more frequently.....the consequences of people's voting choices come back to bite them.
WELL SAID! Look at people in Chicago and NYC, everyone started complaining once they themselves were affected when other states, specifically Texas were sending their illegal immigrants up there in masses! They claimed to be sanctuary cities? They got it! And the people CHOSE to vote for them!
Yes, he should go to the party that says slavery was a good jobs program. Or when they lose, they say they didn't and attempt a coup, right?
Obviously, democrats have failed here and I'll never be someone to just "root for me team" and not be realistic. But unless you're a rich, white male, voting GOP is not in your best interest.
The city council of Portland must be so proud of themselves. Turned a diamond of a city into a rhinestone in a few short years.
more like a lump of coal but yeah
@@dindog22 not even a lump of coal more like a turd. Just like you to see on a Portland city sidewalk
They must feel pretty braindead watching people and companies packing up and leaving the dump, or at least they should
The local/state politicians probably pleasure themselves to sleep nightly over worsening conditions the rest of the working class within have to deal with…
What's the difference between Portland and a pile of dog poop? Portland likes coffee, but the dog poop smells good.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing people get exactly what they voted for.
We live in really evil society. The government can easily reduce homelessness problem if they give homeless once a day free room service, and free massage in late evening.
Half the time most people don’t even vote. They don’t even have time to in this economy.
It's not like the other side is going to build affordable housing, either, they'd just commit human rights atrocities against poor people.
How about, if you leave there and you didn’t vote for it ???
Don’t be so happy for it because it might happen to you too!!

Homeless around the area or not. To high of a price for the area it's in.
lol

he complains he can't sell it. in reality, he's just not willing to sell it for what it's actually worth now.
Yep. Lower the price
But also, gonna be honest, homie is charging way too much for that tiny home.
lol, yep.

Facts. He's not selling because his price is absurd
Market determines the price.
All the comparables in the area dictate the price. $500k is absolutely within the range of everything else around it.
You get what you voted for Portland!
We also get all the violent junkies from all the small, awful conservative towns in America.
Portland should just be the homeless capital of the world
Forget citizens..... lets just make Portland the City of Homeless Drug Addicts
So the rest of the cities in the USA can live safely, Portland can take all our fentanyl dealers, addicts and violent transients
Good!
I hope they keep sending them to the dumpster of the northwest where they can indulge in their drug habits without repercussion.
Why does he want to leave? Don't they love their progressive paradise!
lol

Using his daughter as an excuse. Pathetic.
He voted for this and is now angry at the very people he helped put into city hall.
He needs to stay in the mess he voted for. All they will do is move to another state and ruin that one too.
Yep. Keeps voting in the people who create these problems until said problems are literally at his doorstep - and then in good liberal fashion cries about it and threatens to sue somebody. I'd bet a shiny nickel he's even got a GoFundMe page set up by now.
Denying Measure 97 was Portlands choice. It was the fix and residents said they didn't want solutions by voting it down. Bye bye Portland, you get what you chose.
NIMBY
😂 He opens up admitting that he voted this stuff into effect & even flies a BLM banner at the home. But suddenly when it effects his own bottom line (I’m gonna sue the city & make them buy my home at full value!) 😂
These progressives will never learn.
It's called "living and learning". We all do it.
@@basecitizenhe isn’t learning 😂
Yes, he is looking for someone to bail him out, now he gets to live with bums he condoned...
Huh...you built it...guess you have to live in it. Bummer.
Wheeler's excuse is they need more money. LOL
This makes me SOOOOOOO happy 😅😅😅😅😅
He can definitely sell his house, just not for the inflated amount he wants to sell it for
Would you buy a house next to a homeless encampment? I sure wouldn't and most people feel the same
I can't believe how much he wants for it, what a joke
If it’s a good deal….
@@missf4681some idiot will
he bought the house two years ago for 424.9k according to public records, now he is trying to sell it for 550k. Dude is just trying to flip a house...
He will be lucky to get 300K with all those tents around...very toxic....no one will buy the trash heap....
That means there were tents there when he purchased. The tents have been here longer than him.
Well, judging by the number of (lower priced) properties of similar type on Zillow - he's going to have a tough time.
@@phil562, this is exactly what I was thinking!! This cannot be new for him if he lives right off the interstate like that.
@@imnotbob3345 yeah he has to lower the price if he actually wants to sell instead of making 120k profit
That house is going to make for some very happy squatters.
LOL - lots of luck. I moved out of that decrepid excrement hole of a city over ten years ago because I saw this all coming back then. Until the corruption is addressed, nothing will change.
I got out six years ago
Where did you move to?
I left 20 years ago. I saw this coming back in97.

Oh NOW the “camping” needs to be addressed when it affects HIM, directly 🙄 Karma!
He wanted to “be on the right side of history” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Karma doesn't exist you old bag.

Step 1 - Make drugs illegal again. Step 2 - Arrest people for using drugs. Step 3 - Lifetime drug testing (stay clean or go back to prison) Step 4 - Close the border to stem the flow of drugs.
Only fentanyl is being manufactured domestically so your border issue is a non issue when it comes to drugs.
That's alllllll domestic buddy. This isn't cocaine. This is stuff being made by in apartments and garages. Same as meth.
@@zero_grav_originalYou could not be more wrong. Fentanyl is shipped to the US from Mexico, China, and India.

I remember when Portland and its community was in magazines like Sunset, etc as the place to live ... how times have changed ... people just putting up with this insanity and letting their tax dollars go down the city drain
I used to love Portland! Not anymore! But they keep voting for these people 🤦♀
No. No we weren't.
Aside from that brief Portlandia period of 2010-2018 when all the out-of-town transplants and real estate speculators started pricing locals out of their apartments, that was never us. We have always been a wet, grimy town with lots of hobos and heroin junkies under the Burnside. We're just back to that now.

Well, these ARE members of the community and so the community will have to provide.
😂 voting “for the other side of the ticket”. Got ‘em. Sorry about the family emergency but you get what you vote for.
oh I hope his life is ruined. It's what he hoped to inflict on others with his vote. I hope he is destroyed.
This f'd up city for years has actually used as a slogan, "Keep Portland Weird". Well you wanted it, you got it and in spades at that.
I “might” have to look at voting on the other side of the ticket... Haha boy he’s not even sure yet! How messed up do things have to get before you wake up bud??
Let's hope he can't sell it then he has to stay there. Because he will probably move and take his progressive ideas and vote and destroy his new city as well
They too have to be starving and homeless… introspection and accountability are kryptonight for your typical Portland leftist.
“Government lied to us?!”
Duh
When has government NOT lied?
hes a groomer
Half a million for a BUNGALOW? That's the reason why we have homelessness - unaffordable housing!
Absurd comment. These people are transients, drug addicts and people with mental problems.
Yes but - you’re also being intellectually lazy by omitting the entire topic around the federal reserves market manipulation via asset price inflation.
Mortgage rates should have never been 2-3%. All that results in is another bubble where wages cannot support asset prices.
I’m continually shocked and amazed at how Portland liberals absolutely REFUSE to discuss the issue around central bank market manipulation.
Now Larry BETA Fink from Blackrock will happily swoop in and buy homes on the cheap and rent them back out.
Topics Portlanders refuse to talk about:
Fatherlessness
Federal reserve
Private property rights vs collectivist ideologies ( you don’t get all the benefits of capitalism while advocating marxist ideology - pick one and stick with it!)
@@07wrxtr1
'you’re also being intellectually lazy by omitting the entire topic around the federal reserves market manipulation via asset price inflation.'
No, not really being lazy. The reason why the world is in such sh*t is because this is what capitalism does by nature - corrupt anyone and anything (including the government and the federal reserve WHICH IS CAPITALIST by the way and put in BY CAPITALISTS BANKERS way back with Jekyll Island.
Capitalism needs a housing crisis to make money and guarantee control. And it is true that zoning laws and incompetent leadership contribute to insufficient housing stocks, all those private equity firms and landlords LOVE jacking up rent on tenants because it makes them more money.
Under capitalist modus operandi, if there is a shortage of any commodity, than they can charge more for it because a textbook in college on economic theory told them that is 'the law' - so capitalists have no incentive to create enough housing so they keep stocks artificially low to boost profits - and thus squeezing the middle class, including renters.
Capitalism is in is cancerous cannibalizing phase.
Thank you for your response.
EXACTLY! Homes should sell for roughly 50x the cost of a big mac meal. That bungalow SHOULD cost about six thousand..
The irony here is fantastic.
"These people need help!"
6 months later:
"I can't sell my house because there are too many people without houses..."
The price: $550,000...
Lol.
What do you think it would cost to build a comparable home in that area now? What would a buildable lot sell for? Could the state land have a low-income housing project built on it? I'm asking these questions to help me understand the context. I'm in California where nonprofit developer landlords build "affordable" housing projects and they cost $450,000-$990,000 per unit. Is $550k a lot for that?
@@mwatercress Drug addicts don't buy houses at any price.
I'd buy it for $100,000
Yup. Knew this would happen
@@Liberty2358 Have you been to Malibu? ;-)
Homelessness has become a revenue stream for some municipalities.
That is another reason why they do not go away, too much money to grift.
We need some Marvin Heemeyer Killdozer types to scare the daylights out of some government officials, again.

Loved the Killdozer comic books. Also, Marvin was a great welder/fabricator...
Yeah, you're making up a bunch of goofy cartoon shit, so don't pretend you're making a great point.
Can't help but wonder how the EPA is even got the slightest idea about all the bio human waste of pee/poo by the gallons, per person, per DAY!!!!
Wow! These homes are priced through their roofs!
Not to mention all those homeless camps are devaluing your property
They legalized drugs, then they legalized mass theft. Perhaps, if they reversed those actions, the homeless, which are primarily adult drug users, would go elsewhere so they can get high without harassed. But, the core of if it, this guy voted for the government that has allowed all of this, perhaps he should consider suing himself for negligence at the ballot box.
I wonder - if these people go "elsewhere..." (then) whom will they be affecting next? Have we degenerated this much within our beings? We don't give a damn about anyone else? Then, I suppose - the entire world needs to implode upon 'itself.'
Comment of the decade award winner!!!!
Perfect points! 🎯💯✊🏼
He has NO case
They literally just said he has a case. Are you slow? This is what democrats do. Destroy, and let everything rot.
This must be a tax shelter investment considering hes owned the property since Jan of 2021 and has only listed since July 7th. Home is listed as single level built in 1924, original basement must have been finished in the past 3 years. Guys been listed for 13 days and hes upset buyers are backing out in a market thats changing? Shocker.
Ted Wheeler allowed this mess to happen, waited far too long to handle this! Homeless Industrial Complex!!!!!
Good luck with that in Portland Oregon. The voters have spoken and given a mandate to the politicians who so-call manage the state. You wanted it Portland and you definitely got what you wanted.
Good luck winning this lawsuit in a Portland court.
now the country knows why most of Oregon wants to be part of Idaho ,another lib dog shit city,legal drug use, epidemic homeless,rampant crime,my friend Ken has had his store in downtown Portland vandalized 3 times destruction is the top priority
100% likely he'll keep his voting patterns if/when he moves elsewhere.
Yeap - the pink shorts alone says - no hope
Everyone who lives in the Portland city limits voted for what’s happening today. We want everyone who lives in Portland to stay and go bankrupt and swim in the cesspool.

He can sue till his eyes turn green...nothing gonna happen...
lighter fluid and matches can eliminate a lot of those problems
People pay taxes for government services such as public streets, police, sewer and water systems, etc. If the government is not upholding their end of the stick, then they should be sued. And it’s not like it’s a new problem and they haven’t had time to react.
The lawsuits have already started in Portland.
Re-criminalize drug use, then give them a choice. Jail or rehab. Either way, they are getting clean.
Why no class action suit so far? Get some powerhouse law firm to pull together a class action against the city. Publicize it. Make 'em squirm.
For years, rent has continued to skyrocket because it’s so popular to be here. The second the value of a house begins to creep downward towards reasonable, people freak out. Why does the tax payer owe you for not selling your home during the height of the market?
He's selling to get away from that riffraff. I know he's saying it's a family emergency but that's really what it is
It's pretty F'd up when you gotta hire Rambo to guard your property, call me, "I'll be their worst nightmare".
LOVE IT!!!
As a realtor I can tell you home sellers will blame anything and everything under the sun for why their house isn’t selling except for their price.
That's a decent idea. The city was going to spend money building homeless shelters, anyway. Sue them, and make them buy the house!
Nothing in the neighborhood has changed....including his dead lawn.
The more help you give the more they want!!!,,,HELP is not the Answer!!!
Isn't homelessness a problem in all big American cities that don't have horrible winters?
Yes, the nations 50 largest cities for the last 50 yrs have been run by socialist democrats. This is the result.
They shat everywhere.
You see these reports over and over again. I have only seen one guy who has a RUclips channel who looked at how street people survive money wise. One woman talked of doing her morning rounds to "Boot" merchandise and then sell it to a makeshift street market that sells stolen goods, right under the nose of the LA police. One street person was candid when he said..."I don't want to live in an apartment with rent and utility bills." He admitted, "I like it on the street. We have our own community."
Every city in the United States that allows homeless encampments should be sued by the citizens. There are limitless resources for the homeless. The problem is not a huge group of unfortunate people. The problem is groups of people 100% physically able to do a lot of types of work but are just too lazy to contribute to society and instead rather live life as adult babies expecting normal working people to feed them and give them money for their drug habits. It's truly sad and disgusting. It's time the working people fought back and demand these homeless people do something to contribute to society.
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." This man admitted in the interview that he might have to vote for the "other side" for the "first time in his life". IMO, he meets the definition of someone who is insane.
I hope he never gets to sell. The rest of the country doesn’t need his voting habits to ruin other cities
The mayor wants more money while they spend spend spend and nothing changes. They simply move the camps to new locations and mop up the mess they left behind. It’s called whack-a-mole. I put money on this whiner being a democrat. Live with the consequences of your actions.
But why is it the city’s fault that landlords are so greedy that people can’t afford to live there?
You can thank Biden and librahs for this! Try this in a small town and see what happens we all are armed

This is not a federal problem. It was just as bad with Trump in office. It's a local government issue... Portland, not the nation.
Why doesn't Portland set up areas where the homeless can or must live without interfering with everyone else?
Where's the profit in that? All the nonprofits out there would likely lose the easy accessibility of their caseloads!
Ah yes, take a spot that belongs to the hard worker and give it to the fentanyl addicts.

You seem to be friendly and open to homeless, can I camp next to where you live? I will also ask other homeless join me camping next to your house or place you live too.
@TVHouseHistorian There are many these days who simply cannot afford the prices.
“I’ll vote differently now that it finally affects me”
What a disaster! Who the heck wants to live next to tents and trash?!? No one in their right mind will spend that kind of money to live next to sh**!
Washington State Governor Inslee and legislators are the same, however WA State does NOT make promises!. Sue government officials, because that is your ONLY recourse.
I agree. Being the first to sue before they run out of money.
Good for him. Considering the high property taxes people here pay and the city and county are just using this problem to continue receiving more of our tax dollars more property owners need to do this. The corruption and incompetency of these bureaucratic agencies needs to be challenged.
Agreed. Court cases like this take years and this man has a family emergency, something about "...taking care of my child...", so the emergency can wait for a year or two while this case works it's way through the court system. Alternately he can lower the price by $200k - $400k, which is less than the cost of hiring a slightly above average law firm for a fast-track court case.
We live in really evil society. The government can easily reduce homelessness problem if they give homeless once a day free room service, and free massage in late evening.
Yes and No. if you keep being lied to - at some point as a voter you have to admit you’re gullible and/or stupid. Neither of which occurs because leftists are usually narcissists to begin with: vulnerable covert overt etc… all the flavors of narcissists in Portland due to unaddressed broken family issues.
True, but never happen, govt rules us, we dont rule them....try get them to help you, and you will find out....
Good for him, bad for wherever he decides to destroy.
This is why disparity matters! I left Vancouver/Victoria after 30 yrs. My rent was going up 36% per year, I took on 1,2,3,4 FT jobs-I can't work anymore than that-I'm in my 50s-not looking to amp up but wind down my life. I can't compete with a rich homeowner making $1,000+ a day on their home appreciation and their six figure professional salary. I moved to Quebec. I'm born-to-lose autistic.
Don't worry. If you can't sell your house and end up homeless, you can just camp out on I-5 and get a handout from the local government.
Keep voting democrat....
