But siccing cops on destitute people is never it.
I just spoke with someone who lives near Hollywood and went to visitPortland. I almost fell over when he said they don’t have homeless on the streets like we do here. I told him he might’ve just been in a good part of town.Portland is a hot mess and things need to change for sure. But it's a no win situation.
When I last worked downtown, there was a spot at the bottom of the Morrison bridge that started with one tent that quickly became 5 tents and 20ish people. My desk looked right at it. They would come through with hazmat trucks and clear it all out. Then a week later, they would be back.
I took a drive down Sunset Blvd last night and the number of folks I saw on the street was depressing. It’s a “no win” situation here too. We have the same tents to cleaning crew back to tents cycle. Multiple vocal locals have differing opinions on how to clean things up, but nobody can agree on the “how” despite wanting the same end.

They have been building safe stay places, but some folks have zero interest in a "drug free space" in which to do heroin. What we need is a drug space where folks are free to shoot up whatever they want because this is America, or something.
<edit> last I heard Portland still had the cheapest black tar heroin in the country, so there is that, too
The lack of interest in adhering to curfew and substance restrictions is definitely an issue that comes up here.
Did the Boise ruling around 2019 seem to trigger a shift in the situation? It certainly seems like it did in my part of town.

AI is literally writing resumes for people now
It's been writing articles for a while now. I just think it's funny a company would put up a fake "about us" page. It's not a requirement.
