Oregon Catalyst-
By Taxpayers Association of Oregon Foundation,
Last March a dozen activists physically blocked the City from cleaning up dangerous and unsafe homeless encampments. Others have fought to make trespassing a legal right.
Portland city officials have found attempts to clear homeless camps stymied on several fronts recently—a lawsuit filed by four homeless people and advocates from Stop the Sweep refusing to allow clearing of a camp near Laurelhurst Park.
Not only that, residents of homes near the park blame city officials for failing to acknowledge the trauma and fear they’ve suffered because of break-ins and threats by mentally ill homeless people. more here
Oregonians have gone completely batshit crazy.
Several sane counties are trying to secede to Idaho.
And when the Typhoid or Cholera hits these camps, and the lice start to take over then what? Ground zero for an outbreak, that is if the drug use dosen’t get them first.
Two words….FLAME THROWERS
Enjoy Portland.
Because living in squalid, unsanitary, third world conditions on public property is now a human right, apparently.
Hell! FRED,, Looks like 75% of the
land mass wants out!
Reminds me of when San Francisco or LA wanted to clean up certain homeless areas, the city in all it’s wisdom hired attorneys to represent the homeless so their “belongings” couldn’t just be taken.
It’s getting worse. Driving around I see new camps being put up outside of Portland all the time. Wrecked cars piled with trash, RVs barely functional falling apart.
They park and live, then crap everywhere and if they do leave there’s a huge pile of trash.
Let them die in their filth and bubonic plague. 😀
Send the bill for the cleanup and ANY related costs, to their NEXT-of-kin. >:->
The median price for a house in Santa Clara Country Ca is over $800.000. The average rent is $1800.00 to $2000.00 a month. To stay out of, what is considered poverty, one has to gross $150.000 a year annually. The average gas price is over $4.00 a gallon. A fish fella sandwich and a small fry is $7.00 at MC Donald’s. A pack of smokes is next to $10.00, but a half pint of Vodka is less than $2.50.
Cleanliness is not part of their aesthetics.
A major part of the problem is the so-called “advocates”. Our local City Council tried to ban “camping” along the creek adjacent to I-5, where homeless have taken over. Multiple murders, and a half dozen fires prompted action. The advocates showed up, staged demonstrations, camp-ins, and the weakling city council folded and “compromised”. Camping is now prohibited only during the fire season, May through September. Now, the question is, will they have the will to enforce it ?
Who are these “advocates”, who is bankrolling them? I can guess.
The problem is Portland’s progressive politicians pander to parasites.
