I don’t think it’s humane to let people live on the streets.

ITS INTERSECTIONAL. WE CANT IGNORE THE DRUG PROBLEM PLAYING OUT ON OUR STREETS. OPEN AIR DRUG MARKETS ARE NOT OKAY.

Wilson has a mandate and was overwhelmingly elected to pursue this plan after years of failed housing first policies. Let his plan play out, your strategies had years and didn’t work.

Who setup the meeting? The mayors plan is working and certain members of city council are pissed about it.

These shelters are the best concrete policy decision of the last 5 years to impact live ability of our public spaces. You should be supporting them.

It’s not dehumanizing to call out the primary source of trash and degradation of our public spaces. This city is full of politicians who refuse to acknowledge this as an externality of their housing first at all costs policies.

So you’re saying that these camps build a permission structure of lawlessness that emboldens residents to not care for their public spaces because there are no repercussions?

I don’t disagree at all. We should do both. But…why is Portland responsible for the entire countries failure of capitalism? Look at the statistics of where many houseless folks come from and how many are avoiding felonies.

They’re being offered shelters…why aren’t they taking it? I thought our houseless neighbors just needed a place to sleep?
