finally- these camps have ruined our parks and streets

[@jim0311]

You did nothing to help them

[@Narcissistic_opinionation]

​@@jim0311 and neither did you so shut up

[@GrizzlyUrsusArctos]

City of Portland “enforcing”. Um ok

[@msmoe8687]

Yep, those campers will be pushed out into the suburbs

[@rogerleonard5351]

It's time to put working taxpayer's concerns first, for a change.

[@mrmja50]

Saw the clean up and the craziness at delta park. It was like a bunch of ants being disrupted out of their homes. So many folks wondering around Lowes and the bottle drop while the trucks cleaned up the messes they made.

[@GoldenTroutBFS]

Hallelujah! Now, replace free hotel rooms and drug money with treatment or jail and see...

[@guineapigzed]

Common sense!

[@Dennis-p2l]

The city and county camping ban. As the city and county is getting ready to give away 7,000 tents and 24,000 tarps and more sleeping bags. Portland will never be the same

[@Azazel2024]

Lol ? You ain't enforcing SHHEET

[@bill3641]

Nice looking signs................

[@stevenledbetter80]

It will backfire

[@NormBash]

I guess it took this for one side to see what the other was saying years ago.. sucks it had to gwt this bad for everyone to finally see.. I've worked in NE portland for about 15 years. I commute an hour into work for a reason.. it's gotten so bad in Portland. Something had to finally give.

[@zcvxs]

Over due

[@ks8579]

This isn’t a solution! Shelters “if available”. That’s the excuse for not enough shelters.

[@rogerleonard5351]

Taxpayers are tired funding freeloading druggies.

[@marysisak2359]

The unhoused are now campers?

[@stevenledbetter80]

They are human just like you

[@Dennis-p2l]

Unhoused they have city and county taxpayers funded tents Total losers

[@drregmonster4371]

These people need to get jobs and stop being lazy.

[@msmoe8687]

I know people in this city that can't get a job and they have degrees, how do you expect a homeless person to get one? It's not that simple

[@jim0311]

Employers require an address..can they use yours? Employers require references can they use your name? Employers require a means of transportation will you drive them?.. Your level of stupidity is amazing

[@jim0311]

​@@mustbetrue1602based on what statistics..so much fun to make stuff up.. what other nonsense do you do?

[@kayeandrews7499]

You dk wth you are even taking about

[@EestiUkrainiSprinter]

Good!!! I can finally feel safe as a tax paying and working citizen

[@andretokayuk8100]

keep working, tax slaves.. millions of government tapeworms depend on your labor for a handout...

[@davidmichael4002]

You actually have a police dept.? Thought you fired all of them.

[@Scorch1028]

$100 fine or 1 week in jail. That’s really going to work on crack-heads. 😆

[@Cucumberflavoredmustard]

One week in a place where you can't get at your rocks? Have you ever met a crackhead?

[@KeikoFXDesigns]

Good luck they'll be back, they always do lol.

[@jim0311]

"what you do to the least among you.. you do to me" Jesus Christ

[@gigih1210]

That is so true. These people our God's people too . The city is not caring about these people. The compassion for the homeless is not there. If the shoe was on the other foot, I'm sure these city officials wouldn't want to be treated this way.

[@alfonse5043]

Don’t confuse poor people with junkies, parasites, and criminals… which many of the street people are. We have plenty of programs in place to help poor people. Many people on city’s streets are there by choice, and because they choose to move in Portland only because the drugs were made legal and easier to get. Instead of cleaning up and getting jobs, they want to get high every day and expecting society to give them what they want without making any effort to contribute to society. Many refuse shelter because they are expected not to get high in shelters. I am pretty sure in Jesus’ time the criminals were crucified, not given free food, shelter, and money which they use to get more high instead of paying for necessities. Even Jesus would have given them some harsh words…

[@kayeandrews7499]

​@@alfonse5043yeah, Jesus would treat people like crap. You are insane.

[@Dennis-p2l]

​@gigih1210 Why care for them if they don't care about themselves Go try to pray yourself out of the homeless druggie problems they are human. What human scum? Poor homeless druggies what about praying for the taxpayers?

[@LizCall-uz2pw]

Hundred-dollar fine or a week in jail now these are people that can't afford to buy a meal right sounds like a week in jail would be a good thing for your room and only problem is you can't lock them all up

[@kayeandrews7499]

Or you!

[@take5186]

It's TOO LATE. Put Ted W. in Jail first!!!

[@EestiUkrainiSprinter]

Good!!! I can finally feel safe as a tax paying and working citizen
