    Unless they light up a smoke. Then it's 10 feet.

    Oh, and you forgot to mention the tram. It's the first tourist attraction non-locals ask about.

    I think they should have a weekly "Battle Royal"; with a cash prize 10% of the door to the last yoots standing. Admission is $5.

    I think HCP invited that guy to the last DnD fest he had in his basement. That guy was some jackhole "level 33 Paladin", but he totally didn't play Lawful Good. So embarrassing...it's like "dude, if you want to play Chaotic Evil find some halfling thief/Illusionist character to play. Sheesh."

    Also, had the worst luck ever. He rolled us in to a spike trap and missed on the paralysis save. Dude just sucked all around.

    There are probably some kids who choose the lifestyle, but the vast majority do not come from privileged backgrounds. Very troubled kids from what I've seen.

    So, let me get this straight: The author of the article called them "youths," but the so-called "homeless advocate" called them "gutter punks?"

    That is what they call themselves. It's a culture with rules and all that.

    They should call them by their right name: "Smelly Obnoxious Assholes."

    Me thinks you may be over-generalizing much?

    "A simmering dispute between a pack of homeless street youths and the operators of a downtown Portland foodcart finally boiled over Monday afternoon and resulted in a brawl that ended with police hauling six people off to jail.

    Taken into custody were: Tatiana Dawn Gutierrez, 18, Mathew Allen Juniper, 21, James Paine, 21, Matthew Koontz, 23, Samuel Gene Hambrick, 25, and Zachary Lee Lloyd, 19."

    He's homeless and he's 25yrs old. How is that an over-generalizing? He's not a street "youth". He's a bum.



    Have you been to many street carts? It's not hard to take credit or debit cards these days. Just a little scanner and app on your smartphone. But none that I've seen do it. They all tell you to go to some funky looking ATM in the corner of the cart pod. Strippers and cocktail waitresses have more tax reporting requirements than these cart owners do. Maybe it's the skeptic in me but I'm just not buying that the majority of these cart owners pay their correct amount in taxes.

    We need to rip the cart owner's flesh off and sell it for cash
