OAN:
A recent report says around 38,000 people were homeless in the city at some point during the year 2017, and it’s seemingly only getting worse. Recent data also showed 52-percent of arrests made by local police involved a homeless individual. more
Snip: Arrest the homeless, but not ANTIFA?
How about this? https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/education/article234218847.html
CA law to bar schools from expelling disruptive students is nearing signature. This is what led to Parkland shooting and lots of others – ignoring the signs and accepting criminal activity.
I knew it would get worse under Newsom, that in comparison Jerry Brown is a moderate. It is getting scary bad in CA.
Couldn’t happen to a “nicer” place. The laws of the universe are immutable.
Lefitst hacks infesting our government have unleashed hell on our streets. Cloward Piven in action. Only answer: get them out of office, and clean up afterwards.

Good people outgunned. Every level of government and most of the media made up of far leftists. Mayor Wheeler is a pathetic, limp wristed, girly man weakling. He’d rather hold hands with a fecal fingered faggot than shake the hand of a Policeman.
“Sorry, we were too busy dealing with key issues like making sure you don’t use plastic bags at the store or put recyclables in your trash or making sure your kid turns into a tranny degenerate who hates himself for being white to deal with trivial stuff like bums shitting in the streets or AntiFa thugs bashing your skull in because they didn’t like something they thought you thought or junkies littering up the streets with the free plastic syringes we hand out to them. Priorities matter.”

Portland is a wannabe socialist mastermind’s wet dream
Portland spent $1,100 a night on hotel for mayor’s aide, records show

38,000 homeless people? I wonder how many towns / cities in Oregon have larger populations.
Of the 354 incorporated cities and towns in Oregon, 16 have a population larger than 38,000
The socialists don’t see 38,000 homeless.
They see 38,000 votes to stay on the political gravy train.
How many angry people attended the complaint meeting?
I bet it wasn’t 38,000.
Portland is absolutely crawling with people who make a career of feigning good intentions and horses asses who think they can hide behind a claim of unintended consequences when the consequences of their jackassery had to be known to any and all who took the time and effort to do a little research. Intentional and/or willful ignorance does nothing to mitigate guilt, in fact it makes the offense even worse.
38,000 homeless? Thank God they aren’t in my neighborhood – that would truly be a crisis.

When it gets to 380,000 then it’ll be a bit of a bother.
Every time I used to go there, all I saw was bridges. Now, I guess I’d see 38,000 people living under those bridges like they do in Seattle.
I don’t wanna go there.
Portland with a population of 660,000 has 38,000 homeless.
Shithole LA has a population of 4,000,000 and “only” has 60,000 homeless.
Sum ting wong.
Wait a second……so inducing the populace to become dependent on the services and social structures of a big city might have consequences?

Inducing is so yesterday.
They left inducing behind a long time ago, it is compelling that they now engage in
Who the hell are the other 6%?
Homelessness is the top issue facing Portland according to a survey of residents’ views published by the government Friday, with 88 percent of survey-takers saying they were dissatisfied with how City Hall has approached the issue.
We can account for 6%, they are the 38,000 homeless, but that leaves another ~38K booger eating morons left unaccounted for.
JDHasty–I’ve been doing some research after the FoxNews piece came out the other day: https://www.foxnews.com/us/portland-residents-tell-elected-officials-to-stop-talking-and-fix-homelessness-crisis
One of the “agencies” hired to “help” with the “homeless” is called Central City Concern. A quick journey to ProPublica to check on their IRS Form 990 showed that the group took in–are you ready for it?–ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS last year. The director who was quoted in the article makes over $200K plus benefits. Don’t tell me there ain’t good money in homelessness!!!
Here’s the link to the research: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/930728816/201900879349301260/IRS990
MerryMouse, done some research. Good for you. Opinions based on facts is educational. You have just revealed a basic truth. “Agencies” created to help those in need are often overseen by administrators that skim off the top cream for themselves and leave very little for providing needed service. Politically, they are usually wealthy parasites feeding off relatives’ or friends’ positions who make the funding decisions. (no fact source for this opinion)
I just can’t believe elections have consequences.

The problem is how you define “disruptive”! I was considered by my teachers “disruptive”63 years ago for defendingIke! I, unlike my sister, was never expelled , but I spent many hrs in Detention for my “disruptive” acts. BTW Still graduated in the top decile. IIn the late 50’s in Cal you were a disruptive student if you said America was a great country and Americans were good folk! My guess is that is is the same 60 years later!
those who believed, “America is the shinning city on the hill.” were trouble making, disruptive students!
I disagreed 60 yers ago, still think MAGA hat wearers are not disruptive; – may be why I was never a teacher!
My favorite place in Oregon is Wallowa County who’s county seat is Enterprise, Or., they have a population of just over 7,000 people and I doubt that many of them are homeless. There are probably more sheep and cattle down there than people.
