We have an 8 billion dollar budget. This is a drop in the bucket to help our local businesses. We throw magnitudes more money at our unproductive homeless population.

Great idea! 3m is a drop in the bucket for the city, and a huge relief for our local businesses.

Again causing drama for nothing. Get over yourself, Wilson has a mandate.

I don’t think it’s humane to let people live on the streets.
December 6, 2025 at 7:37 AM
I have and I’m super thankful that they happen in my neighborhood.

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

Harmful? They’re helping clean up our city from rampant disregard from our houseless population.

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.
December 3, 2025 at 1:04 AM
Taking an obvious mistake and blowing it up into a scandal isn’t going to help your cause. Same reactionary energy to the Avalon’s fire…

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.
November 17, 2025 at 8:13 PM
What’s funny is I actually do. Haha But you can do both.
November 17, 2025 at 6:05 PM
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?

Sounds like the correct policy solution is to reduce cleanup and let people live on the streets to promote more trash. /s

Why not fund assistance for everyone to dispose of waste cheaply and effectively vs. just tying it to sweeps?
November 14, 2025 at 7:54 AM
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.

Where can I find this???
November 14, 2025 at 5:33 AM
Literally what? Where is the evidence that houseless people don’t create the garbage they’re surrounded by? Think about how much garbage you generate in a day…
November 13, 2025 at 10:33 PM
They’re being offered shelters…why aren’t they taking it? I thought our houseless neighbors just needed a place to sleep?
November 12, 2025 at 7:16 AM
There’s helping others, then there’s enabling bad behavior.
November 12, 2025 at 7:14 AM
You mean the taxpayers funding the program?…
November 12, 2025 at 7:13 AM
Please explain what these “things” are…lol
November 12, 2025 at 7:12 AM
It’s not as simple as that. It actually helps get criminals off our streets with warrant checks.
