Portland homeowner faces challenging process of addressing homeless camp in his backyard

  • High above Portland on the city's northwest side, Jim Jensvold was surprised by what was discovered in his forested yard below.
    “The guy that does the tree trimming came out and he said 'I think you've got an uninvited guest on your property,'" Jensvold said.
    A homeless camper was set up for the long haul in his private backyard.
    He figured a simple conversation would do the trick.
    “I said, ‘you know this is private property’ and she says ‘oh, I thought it was public.’ I said, ‘no - so you'll be able to leave, right?’ She said, ‘oh yes,’" said Jensvold.
    When Jensvold and his wife returned from an out of town trip, they assumed she'd be gone.
    “The encampment had grown. There was a tent, tarps, altars and shrines - and all sorts of things down there,” he said.
    But Jensvold had no idea how long it would take and the hoops he'd need to jump through to get the camper out.
    In all, he called police three separate times. He says the first officer gave the woman time to leave, which he later learned from another officer was a mistake.
    “If you give them even an hour or so to leave, that's interpreted as giving them permission to stay at least for a little while. So that changes the problem from a law enforcement criminal problem to a civil problem,” Jensvold said.
    Jensvold's problem was growing by the day. At one point the camper set a fire. Firefighters were called to put it out.
    His neighbors had had enough.
    “My neighbors were knocking on my door, saying ‘what are you gonna do about your problem that's threatening all of us?’ Because they were concerned about the fire - my house could burn down - my neighbors houses could burn down too - it could spread - it's not that far to forest park actually,” he said.
    After the third call to police the camper left, leaving behind her belongings.
    Jensvold is left to clean it up, find a place for some of it, and sort through an experience he won't forget.
    He worries that now that the city is cracking down on public camping, that more campers will move to private property.
    The maze of information on city websites - and even conflicting information from police - about what to do about a homeless camper in your backyard confused him.
    “I don't think there's a clear plan on that, because you would think with the homeless situation in Portland, that this cannot possibly be the first time this has happened,” Jensvold said.
    He did receive a call from Mayor Ted Wheeler's Office of Community Safety, and they answered some of his questions.
    KATU reached out to the city too, asking what does someone do if they have a homeless camper on their property?
    They told us, in part, "we do not anticipate for folks to move to private properties, but if this does occur, property owners should contact law enforcement immediately. Private property owners have trespass authorizations with the Portland Police Bureau. Unsanctioned campers on private property can be removed immediately without going through the posting process required on city-owned property."
    Jensvold learned from officers who answered his call that next time he would have the camper removed immediately.
    “You also should have no trespassing signs on private property. And he also made mention that it'd be better if they were illuminated, so they could be seen at night - which I thought - I don't think I'm gonna run an electrical line down there," he said.
    Looking back, he did everything he was supposed to do - call police and the City of Portland. And while he appreciates their advice, he can't help but come to this conclusion:
    “I think it was actually me solving the problem myself,” Jensvold said.

      The new Portland Mayor has banned daytime camping and will ban camping outside sanctioned camps as soon as they have enough camps to hold all the homeless. So yeah, I guess that's what the voters have voted for. The real problem is the Ninth Circuit Court Milton v. Boise decision, which held that you can't kick homeless off of public property if they have no other place to go. As far as private property rights, that sounds like a "stand your ground" situation to me.

      @@MrBonebus first of all, the right appears to be almost nonexistent in portland, so the silence to which you refer is understandable. i live on the east coast, but allow me to suggest that perhaps laws regarding assault, theft, robbery, shoplifting, vandalism, and trespassing should be enforced, and district attorneys should prosecute them, and judges should punish. i suspect that if the problem were studied just from a cost benefit perspective, the cost of enforcement, including the cost of incarceration, would prove to be less than the cost to the city of the crime which is happening there, or at least be close to equal. the cost to a victim of a crime is often not calculable, as in the case of an injury resulting in permanent debilitation, which has been my personal experience.

    You can easily see that people like him are a key part of the problem. It takes really bad things to happen before they take forceful and needed action. He made sure to tell the news man that he thought of himself a compassionate person. That spoke volumes. That's the wrong kind of compassion. Remember how city leadership literally encouraged the summer of 2020 violence? To show compassion for the often "violent" protestors cause? They lost police force members as a result. So beautiful there. Sad to see it go this way. All for nothing.

    Things got this way due to compassion overload. Every poor person is a victim, everyone else is an oppressor, don't victimise the druggie, the thief, the vagrant, they are only here because of oppression by the ruling class, it's never through their own actions. Put your compassion to work, laws are being broken, arrest them and put them where appropriate - jail, rehab, mental care. Letting them live on the street inevitably leads to crime and dirty, unsafe streets.

      Here is the root of the issue....
      Major religions have typically excluded women from leadership roles. So women created their own and called it "Social Justice". Their religion was born in women-dominated social sciences and gender (LGBT) studies departments in academia. The religion is a combination of feminist ideals and Marxism. Built into the religion is an assumed guilt of men. The foundation of the religion is that masculinity is flawed and men are not compassionate enough. Women push this religion in colleges and the women-dominated middle/lower school systems as teachers. Women push their agenda in politics.
      Social Justice is a religion by and for women and LGBT.

      @@MobileMood as with everything, look at it inversely first: maybe its not that women were "excluded" from religions...perhaps theres something about the average female mind that isnt compatible with the idea of a "tribe" or a "group" unless that group directly benefits them. maybe women have _always_ been like this, and religions evolved the way they did to keep that kind of self-serving chaos from destroying civilization as we know it.
      the only reason this religion is different is because it directly serves and benefits women...at what cost? they couldnt care less...

      They voted for it. The property owner reeks of liberal woke democrat supporter to me.

    Let's wonder if this homeowner is for or against immigrants arriving with zero prospects? Why not help the person get a job vs. boot her off the unused property? It looks like he bought a place that was once a large estate or park - Yes, it is legally his. She obviously was not a nuisance because he did not know if she was there a day or all 3 years he owned the place

    Thanks for this program. It helps to know what the rights of the homeowner are. Clearly the police dropped the ball in this case. In this situation, to show any compassion is to bring on a major legal headache. That's a strong disincentive and the sign of a messed up system.

    You don't need an electrical line to illuminate a sign. You can use a solar powered mini light like they make for illuminating walkways. Put it in a place that gets some sun.

    It must be nice to have money, a multi-million dollar house, and live in the part of Portland that the cops will show up at. Meanwhile, in SE, we can have homeless people forcing their way into our homes, and PPB refused to respond.
