Laws without enforcement are much WORSE than meaningless; they destroy belief in the function of a society and create the understanding that laws in general are really just "suggestions" that carry no consequences when violated. That is WHY liberal leaders don't enforce laws. They WANT a breakdown in society. Once society is sufficiently broken, they believe they can take stronger control and rule over us as they wish, with no need to adhere to our individual rights. THAT is their goal.
As a working taxpayer in Portland, I actually feel like I have less rights than the drug addicted homeless. They are allowed to camp out, smoke crack and shoot up heroin in broad daylight. Meanwhile people like me have to be looking over our shoulder and inhaling crack smoke. I'm more likely to get in trouble with law enforcement for failing to signal a lane change than these folks are doing hard drugs in public. The city needs to respect the hard working taxpayers, not let the city be controlled by the whims of drug addicted lunatics, which the majority of these people are. They need help, yes, and this is not compassion, it's a lose lose situation for everybody.
I’m right there with you. Walked with my son the other day and right near our home we were forced to inhale crack smoke while our dog decided to stop right there to do his business. There was no mistaking the smell. Tried to call and report the issue and Was on hold for over an hour. The offenders make the choice to use drugs, meanwhile my choice was taken away. I have no choice to breathe clean air my rights have been taken away. My choice to not inhale crack doesn’t matter
Street homeless will destroy any housing we put them in because they are not mentally capable of living in organized manner. Fentanyl and Tranq horse tranquilizer destroy humans mentally and physically beyond the point of repair very quickly. Street encampments are nothing else but lawless open air fentanyl markets.
Well Hallelujah less people will die in their tents why don't they just have a one contact policy instead of contacting the people multiple times having them move their tents around contacting them again in the shelters contacting them again at the hospital when they OD Etc why don't they just contact them once and evaluate them then you either go back home to Mommy and Daddy you go to jail if you have a criminal record or have committed crimes like having drugs in your possession or you go to the mental hospital they don't need to be worried about how many shelter beds they have available they need to be worried about why they don't have more room in the jail and mental hospital for these people and when they are recovered they can go to halfway houses and live that life until they get a job and can survive on their own it is ridiculous just moving them around and providing shelter beds for them it is not helping anything
Except possession was legalized and mental hospitals decommissioned so those things can't be done. The only way to get rid of them is stir the pot. No one is trying to rehabilitate people who don't want to be rehabilitated.
They use to be trigger happy punks back through the 80s-90s, now they're neutered pussies. Guess it's fitting for these times. Kinda like the rest of the town.
there should be designated fenced in areas with trash pick-up, water and toilettes. For people living in tents and no tents allowed in city limits outside designated camping areas every city until housing is available and affordable for all but not stretched out on sidewalks or on the side of the street parks or any designated public area inside city limits.

*Reducing rents in America by 50% part 4 of 4:* There is allot of land being ravaged by extinction by the year 2060 runaway-AGW extreme weather events. Using this land that will be ravaged again by floods 3 feet higher; to establish *Homeless Shelter Villages* [HSV]; _built on trailers._ So like a Native American village the entire community can be moved to follow the buffalo or avoid a flood. *No part of America will be left untouched by its procrastination to taking the steps to stop extinction by the year 2060; due to catastrophic-runaway-anthropogenic-global-warming [CRAGW].*
The problem got too big to solve it in one day. As long as they keep moving forward I believe Portland can recover, mostly because it's in a desirable climate: no major flooding, rare and small earthquakes, no tornados or hurricanes, no extreme summers or winters, etc...
The problem became apparent in the early 1990’s. The city initiated its do nothing effective policies then. 1990 is 33 years ago. Nothing has changed. Except that the do nothing city has become a homeless, drug addict city. Passing Measure 110 was a grave error. It needs to be repealed.
Have you not noticed the impacts of climate change and the tremendous increase in explosive wildfires? I live in Southeast Portland. My home and all of the east side from Troutdale to the Willamette River would have burned down in 2017 and 2020 with just a few shifts in the wind. In 1975, the Willamette Valley was a true Mediterranean climate. Summers were mostly in the low 70’s. For years it was like heaven on earth. 40 years ago we had a 100 degree day in May. That was a banner headline then. Not anymore. Now we have long streaks of scorching temperatures in the 90s and 100s. With the tinder dry soil that goes with it.
Because the parks are usually full of bums too! It's like whack a mole. The issue is that city leaders think it's people 'living their truth', instead of recognizing that addiction is not a choice, but a prison. Mental illness is not 'quirky', it's nothing to celebrate, it's fucking tragic and sad!
I moved there after years of visiting. I got there just before the 'Summer of Love'. In the 3 years that we lives there my wife was attacked several times. The 'protestors' (antifa) tried to burn down her building while she was in it...several times. I saw a 70+year old lady stark naked and screaming her lungs out (while no one noticed) one afternoon downtown. I had to draw my gun on a guy who tackled me and tried to kill me. My son got to learn about all sorts of different fetishes and perversions...in kindergarten! Someone stole my dog. Someone stole my bike. Someone stoke my car. When we finally decided to cut our losses and leave, it was only getting worse. We left in January and we actually feel safe. I forgot what that was like. My honest advice? Don't! Just don't. It's not what you remember, and it's getting worse. If you MUST find out for yourself, make sure to get CHP! Do not go about your day unarmed. And don't live IN the city. Avoid Multnomah County.

Isn't it sad that the leaders haven't called 211 or understood the scenarios for people on the streets? They just say call 211 and have zero idea how it all works or the likelihood for someone to get a bed. There are no clear instructions for those homeless on how to get out of their situation. Some of these people are chronically homeless. One night isn't going to do anything.
Holy crap 😂 I live in Chicago…dude our city looks like it’s got it’s shit together compared to this shit hole 😂 if you ever known anyone with an addiction that doesn’t want to get help, you know how important, essential, and healthy it is to establish boundaries. Portlands like…fuck it 😂
Under the 8th Amendment government officials can't pass any law banning homeless encampments unless shelter is provided. Hopefully Portland's homeless encampment ban has shelters provided.
The mayor will be up for re-election next year. Mingus Mapps has announced he is running. Any of us have the ability to contact his office and sound him out to see what some of his proposed solutions are. Remember, Portland does not even make the top 10 cities for homelessness.
@@crand20033 You can't. But you can make them uncomfortable so they keep moving and moving until they finally decide to change their lives. The problem is we cater to them. We are literally afraid to put our foot down.
These are humans not wild animals. We can't just shoo them away and expect results! I think the people running the city got too high themselves. Who knows
But they are living like wild animals! Housing should be found or created for those who want housing, and designated camping areas should be created for those who want to camp, but they shouldn't camp in the city or in suburbs where they disturb others' businesses or way of life. And the drug dealing and drug use must be addressed, or the problem may NEVER go away! They must be enabled to STOP living like wild animals. . .
This is a joke. Right? Or are we really going take a hard line at last and take our city back? Take a look at what Finland did to solve their homeless problem. They actually solved it.

Love it!! Policies and regulations enforcement are separate issues!! Camping is a fantastic experience. Take everything you can get and contribute nothing. We have billions for funding the military industrial complex, prison complex, education complex, rehabilitation complex.
_The UN is supporting a design for a new floating city that can house the homeless while withstanding a Category 5 hurricane_ April 3, 2019 This news article is from _INSIDER._ *Build and anchor these floating cities for the homeless ON LAND that has already been flooded and will be flooded in the future by FLOODS 3 FEET HIGHER.* The United Nations just unveiled a concept for a floating city that can hold around 10,000 residents. The city is built to withstand natural disasters like floods, tsunamis, and hurricanes. The design comes from architect Bjarke Ingels and floating city builder _Oceanix._ At a roundtable on Wednesday, the UN said, *”floating cities could help protect people from sea-level rise while addressing the lack of affordable housing in major cities.”* Amen.
I have a friend who works at Portland BOEC - she says 911 has to respond to calls about daytime camping now. Problem is, sometimes they are so overwhelmed they have to prioritize calls over the others. Portland's crime rate keeps them busy. There are plenty of empty shelter beds, but shelters require residents to stay CLEAN. As in, no drugs.
Perhaps some form of urban campground could be explored. Providing bathrooms, garbage cans, drinking water and some form of security would be a plus and removing direct camping on the streets would make everyone happier.
Maybe quit making the city a destination for gutter punks and junkies. You think 'Freeattle' and PDX are overrun with human waste because of the weather? People come to live on those streets because you can do WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT, and NOTHING will happen to you. NOTHING!
The kit to convert a -gasoline- deatholine car into an electric car will only cost $4,600 once the _Defense Production Act_ is invoked to produce them. In the *Homeless-Shelter-Village* [HSV] factories that uses the residents of the HSV as the workforce to produce them. You only need to change the drive-train; not the transmission or anything else. This does not include the cost of batteries and installation.
*Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.* _Deny instincts to be cruel._ *Think before you speak and choose to be kind.* _Choose to be charitable._ *Know that there is a Holy Trinity. So be brave. Have faith. Be humble.* Find the courage to grasp a *real-man's* first obligation; *to protect his family and our Mother the Earth. From being injured and killed* _due to the bottomless greed of Satan's minions;_ *who only worship gold.* Amen.
The reason that companies like _Incredible Tiny Homes_ that builds *homes on trailers are needed.* Is due to the continued destruction of housing due to extinction by the year 2060 runaway-AGW which will be total; no part of America will escape. Which is why the most important feature that has not been pointed out. Is just like _Pallet Shelter's_ components can be taken down in an hour, placed on trucks and moved to escape floods which will be 3 feet higher, more levees will burst, and more frequent. *All of the **_Incredible Tiny Homes_** are built upon trailers.* When parked all their homes sit on blocks; taking the weight off the tires. Which can be fully inflated, the house brought down off the blocks with forklifts or hydraulic jacks; then moved to avoid floods. Not easy but doable with 24 hours of warning. The other alternative is cities meant to float when flooded that are anchored to the land.
After talking to many homeless residents of Portland and other Cites. They want to live this way it’s what they know. They job is “to stand on the corner and beg” per homeless youth. Woke Politics have ruined our beautiful City. A lot of these people come here to “Live like kings here”
Yes they do. But you can't say iut loud that woke city leaders are making PDX a destination city for junkies, lest you be accused of being just another white guy trying to subjugate the masses. Well, it's happening!
The "why" of the homeless crisis has a lot of different answers and points of view, but I don't think anybody who has actually seen these encampments would describe these people as living like kings.
The urban areas control the state government and legislature. You all voted for these stupid officials and policies so how about you pay for it? You all receive higher wages as well. Minimum wage is higher than the rural counties. Stop trying to force counties with no voice and no money to pay for your mistakes. Median income in my county is 30k and Walmart is the largest employer. Keep raising our taxes and we will all be homeless. I guess maybe then we'll get some sympathy.
This law seems to benefit the general public but really doesn't attack the core issues that result in homelessness...My concern is nothing much will change, and this really is just another way to punish homeless people rather than helping them overcome it...frustrating

Isn't it sad that the leaders haven't called 211 or understood the scenarios for people on the streets? They just say call 211 and have zero idea how it all works or the likelihood for someone to get a bed. There are no clear instructions for those homeless on how to get out of their situation. Some of these people are chronically homeless. One night isn't going to do anything.
Hit the nail on the head.
Holy crap 😂 I live in Chicago…dude our city looks like it’s got it’s shit together compared to this shit hole 😂 if you ever known anyone with an addiction that doesn’t want to get help, you know how important, essential, and healthy it is to establish boundaries. Portlands like…fuck it 😂
Under the 8th Amendment government officials can't pass any law banning homeless encampments unless shelter is provided.
Hopefully Portland's homeless encampment ban has shelters provided.
No enforcement, let me do my shocked face.
same story - different city - modern America.
Nothing will be done. All for show no action!!!
How about concrete drain pipes stacked so they could sleep and are able to clean them. Yeah like the North Vietnamese did during the war.
when will portland change leadership?
when the citizens of Portland change from hard-core leftists to something else, leadership represents its constituents to a tee...
"Your guess is as good as mine" comes to mind. . .
The mayor will be up for re-election next year. Mingus Mapps has announced he is running.
Any of us have the ability to contact his office and sound him out to see what some of his proposed solutions are.
Remember, Portland does not even make the top 10 cities for homelessness.
Nothing changes.....
They have no money so how can you fine them?
@@crand20033 You can't. But you can make them uncomfortable so they keep moving and moving until they finally decide to change their lives. The problem is we cater to them. We are literally afraid to put our foot down.
@@bombaybeach208👈Well said.
They have to exist someplace.
LOL nothing will change.
They need give the parks to homeless and let them have them
RIP Portland. Sad.
Patrick for mayor.
Portlanders are getting just what they voted for. I like it!
These are humans not wild animals. We can't just shoo them away and expect results! I think the people running the city got too high themselves. Who knows
But they are living like wild animals! Housing should be found or created for those who want housing, and designated camping areas should be created for those who want to camp, but they shouldn't camp in the city or in suburbs where they disturb others' businesses or way of life. And the drug dealing and drug use must be addressed, or the problem may NEVER go away! They must be enabled to STOP living like wild animals. . .
Shame on Portland!!!!
Fuck Portland!
You mean shame on governments are not providing shelter for the poor.
This is a joke. Right? Or are we really going take a hard line at last and take our city back? Take a look at what Finland did to solve their homeless problem. They actually solved it.
Most people believe Finland doesn't even exist, fixing a make believe homeless problem would be so easy.
SOME FOLKS JUST DON'T WANT TO BE HELPED
*************************************************************
So what do we do for them? Put them in jail? Leave them be?
@@codythompson9552 Legally and forcefully commit those who don't want help to an mental facility and drug rehab. Confinement for those who are a danger to themselves and others. This was done decades ago at county hospital and lunatic asylums.
@@virgilcain6139 I could definitely get behind that if we can get our act together with regard to setting up those facilities (and making sure they don't just become defacto jails_. 🤝
I hope everyone gets to live in a house but this isn’t going to work
This dude has a Paul Harvey way of reporting.... and that's the rest of the story.
Nicely & aptly put. 👏
Portland should rebrand itself as an amusement park. I know a lot of rich Asians and Scandinavians who would actually pay to pretend to be poor!!
Vote them ALL OUT, if the tents are not taken out and all the homeless moved to DC!
Great reporter
Wow! I would have thought legalizing drugs would have solved homelessness!!
It has had the opposite effect. I thought this was apparent years ago. I voted no on Measure 110.
@@MrTommytuna gee whiz!! Who would’ve thought?! Holy moly!
Love it!! Policies and regulations enforcement are separate issues!! Camping is a fantastic experience. Take everything you can get and contribute nothing. We have billions for funding the military industrial complex, prison complex, education complex, rehabilitation complex.
_The UN is supporting a design for a new floating city that can house the homeless while withstanding a Category 5 hurricane_ April 3, 2019 This news article is from _INSIDER._ *Build and anchor these floating cities for the homeless ON LAND that has already been flooded and will be flooded in the future by FLOODS 3 FEET HIGHER.* The United Nations just unveiled a concept for a floating city that can hold around 10,000 residents. The city is built to withstand natural disasters like floods, tsunamis, and hurricanes. The design comes from architect Bjarke Ingels and floating city builder _Oceanix._ At a roundtable on Wednesday, the UN said, *”floating cities could help protect people from sea-level rise while addressing the lack of affordable housing in major cities.”* Amen.
I have a friend who works at Portland BOEC - she says 911 has to respond to calls about daytime camping now. Problem is, sometimes they are so overwhelmed they have to prioritize calls over the others. Portland's crime rate keeps them busy. There are plenty of empty shelter beds, but shelters require residents to stay CLEAN. As in, no drugs.
Perhaps some form of urban campground could be explored. Providing bathrooms, garbage cans, drinking water and some form of security would be a plus and removing direct camping on the streets would make everyone happier.
Sounds like that might be a good start. . .
Maybe quit making the city a destination for gutter punks and junkies.
You think 'Freeattle' and PDX are overrun with human waste because of the weather?
People come to live on those streets because you can do WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT, and NOTHING will happen to you.
NOTHING!
@borntohula9408 ❤
Many of these people will litter anyway.
Yes like KOA!
The kit to convert a -gasoline- deatholine car into an electric car will only cost $4,600 once the _Defense Production Act_ is invoked to produce them. In the *Homeless-Shelter-Village* [HSV] factories that uses the residents of the HSV as the workforce to produce them. You only need to change the drive-train; not the transmission or anything else. This does not include the cost of batteries and installation.
How much does a battery cost?
Is living on the street really camping, or living only way possible.
People please vote for the Democrats they these people backs they are these people
Portland is a DISASTER… Gone.
*Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.* _Deny instincts to be cruel._ *Think before you speak and choose to be kind.* _Choose to be charitable._ *Know that there is a Holy Trinity. So be brave. Have faith. Be humble.* Find the courage to grasp a *real-man's* first obligation; *to protect his family and our Mother the Earth. From being injured and killed* _due to the bottomless greed of Satan's minions;_ *who only worship gold.* Amen.
The reason that companies like _Incredible Tiny Homes_ that builds *homes on trailers are needed.* Is due to the continued destruction of housing due to extinction by the year 2060 runaway-AGW which will be total; no part of America will escape. Which is why the most important feature that has not been pointed out. Is just like _Pallet Shelter's_ components can be taken down in an hour, placed on trucks and moved to escape floods which will be 3 feet higher, more levees will burst, and more frequent. *All of the **_Incredible Tiny Homes_** are built upon trailers.* When parked all their homes sit on blocks; taking the weight off the tires. Which can be fully inflated, the house brought down off the blocks with forklifts or hydraulic jacks; then moved to avoid floods. Not easy but doable with 24 hours of warning. The other alternative is cities meant to float when flooded that are anchored to the land.
After talking to many homeless residents of Portland and other Cites. They want to live this way it’s what they know. They job is “to stand on the corner and beg” per homeless youth. Woke Politics have ruined our beautiful City. A lot of these people come here to “Live like kings here”
Yes they do.
But you can't say iut loud that woke city leaders are making PDX a destination city for junkies, lest you be accused of being just another white guy trying to subjugate the masses.
Well, it's happening!
The "why" of the homeless crisis has a lot of different answers and points of view, but I don't think anybody who has actually seen these encampments would describe these people as living like kings.
They don't need a "bed." They need a HOME.
Yeah...because they all became junkies when their houses all went ×poof×, and disappeared!
Wake up and smell what you're shoveling, amigo!
This is a problem for the entire state of Oregon to pay for.
Build low cost housing.
How are they going to afford it? Even if it is low cost? It all comes down to giving people free stuff all over again.
The urban areas control the state government and legislature. You all voted for these stupid officials and policies so how about you pay for it? You all receive higher wages as well. Minimum wage is higher than the rural counties. Stop trying to force counties with no voice and no money to pay for your mistakes. Median income in my county is 30k and Walmart is the largest employer. Keep raising our taxes and we will all be homeless. I guess maybe then we'll get some sympathy.
This law seems to benefit the general public but really doesn't attack the core issues that result in homelessness...My concern is nothing much will change, and this really is just another way to punish homeless people rather than helping them overcome it...frustrating
Many homeless don’t want to overcome it.
@@JoeOvercoat well until we get serious about solutions that work, this issue will continue...most likely worsen sigh
Street homeless will destroy any housing we put them in because they are not mentally capable of living in organized manner. Fentanyl and Tranq horse tranquilizer destroy humans mentally and physically beyond the point of repair very quickly. Street encampments are nothing else but lawless open air fentanyl markets.
@@TheOceanMan-xc7qp Yup. Gawd forbid that we let the wandering types wander and help the ones that want a home. We want to lock them up for being vagrants but won’t lock the criminals among them up for the crimes they commit. Where it is the worst for the law-abiding homeless. They get it from everyone. 🥺
We have to be willing to tax ourselves to make the real changes you speak of.
We aren’t willing to tax ourselves.
*Unfortunately for millions of Americans in order to survive* those made homeless *due to failed Republican polices and the election **-Florida-** Whorida stole from Al Gore runaway-AGW destruction of housing.* _The 41% of Americans that the _*_Federal Reserve_*_ and _*_IRS_*_ tell us make less than $15 an hour; will have to lower their standard of living dramatically!_ And live in modest accommodations such as _Pallet Shelter's_ *Shelter 64* which sleeps two in a private cabin. Placed in combination with _Pallet Shelter's_ other components: *Community Room,* Bathroom, and Services Office; to form an entire *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV]. Where the rent paid to FEMA for the 2 person shelter is 10% of net income; and 20% for the four person shelter. Which goes to providing _one free meal a day_ and *childcare* in the Community Room; so that the working poor can go to work. *Jesus Christ* says this is the Christian thing to do. Amen.
DON'T BLAME THE HOMELESS FOR SOMETHING YOU CAUSED YOU INVITED THESE PEOPLE HERE NOW YOU WON'T LET THEM LIVE IN PEACE
At 2:03 Note the solar Panel of the guy who's been living there 10 years. I've seen a few homeless homesteads going solar, but if they are forced to pack up and night how can they go solar and do their part to combat climate change, much less become a stakeholder in the "Fourth Industrial Revolution"?
I hope your tongue is in your cheek.
