    You know, when I see attacks on people like this, I’m horrified that people do this to others. But then I think to myself, If you don’t want to get beat up by a proud boy/antifa/thugs……don’t go where they are. No different than a war photographer for LIFE magazine (if that’s still a thing) going onto the battle field to get amazing pictures. There are obvious threats with these tasks and nobody should be shocked when stuff like this happens. Doesn’t make it right, it just seems like the risks are pretty obvious.
    On a side note, I didn’t even watch the video…..tired of seeing hate!

    Yeah but if people didn’t go then they would just cruise the streets and beat up POC and people who look like lgbtq

    driving from other states in their big ass trucks and using weapons to intimidate

    they do all this anyway but at least there is some opposition. We know the police are in cahoots with them

    Are we supposed to hate both sides? If so, I’m treating this idiocy right

    I talked with my mom today. She told me how sad it is for her to go downtown and see all the homeless. She, like me, has never seen Portland this bad before.


    I would like to sincerely say: Fuck everyone who can't vote for a candidate that gives a fuck about humans!

    Impact of a single homeless camp: $18,347 in clean-up, one thousand complaints and endless conflict.



    In 1978 I used to live in a house right where this homeless camp is on 58th and Powell. Right across the street from the gas station there.

    It is hard to believe this is what Portland, as well as America, is becoming.

    Just had a great lunch downtown. Great to start to see people back out and about enjoying our city. Still need to do some major cleanups, but warms my heart to see families out walking around.

    A family style restuarant that was closed in HCPs hood. Still I think he should have called it Mode.

    Portland homeless villages: Your questions answered.



    I know it is something, but, this is a terrible idea.

    Help to keep people in their homes in the first place, and the "homeless" problem will cost us all much less. Actually paying people living wages and regulating rent so that Americans can't be gauged by the rich, and we should solve most of the problem. Sure, there is obviously more to it than this. But just a few simple things could actually prevent the "problem" from ever happening in the first place.

    Our government, federal and local, knows about the homeless problem. They obviously don't care to throw money at the solution, rather they just make things worse.
