I thought the same thing. But I really don’t think I am better then anyone. Grateful to have nice things and a nice place to live. I know I am lucky to be a hard worker and void of major mental illness.
@@ofmindsoul1511 the Simpsons made an episode where the town split and the rich insulted how the poor spoke. I'm poor af but I try to remember why I went to school for most of my life. What happens if those gooder than I decide to not language correct no more? Its like they want me be dumn
I am someone who walks among both wealthy and the underprivileged - unless we are talking about the 1%, I don’t think most privileged people think that hard about it. Some might just feel they don’t want to embarrass someone else for not using the “correct” word usage/grammar. But I do get why it would feel like there is a “them” and “us” because there is, and they know it too. I grew up dirt poor in a small town that had a lot of privileged people. But I was accepted early on as one of them (even though I wasn’t - I was just me). I am 36 and still learning new words and better grammar. Dumb has nothing to do with the words you know, or the way you speak. You can likely do a lot of things privileged people cannot. I promise, no one is better than you, unless you choose to see it that way.
I try to be civilized but i'm a damn grammar nazi. I don't try to be superior, but it's somewhat of a flaw of mine to remind people what is or isn't proper. If someone reminds me, I'll happily accept them being a d!€k about it, too. Lol

They'll never do that. I say they made the damn mess.. they can clean it up. They just move to another place and make it a s,"*t hole. Portland mayor, governor, city council... Great job you are doing. Hey, Portland ...keep voting them in. Real progress!

I have no sympathy for home owners . Should've seen this coming when you were restricting new home construction decades ago. Enjoy crazy people shitting in your driveway.
Where would you like them to throw trash away? It's illegal to use any other people's dumpsters or businesses dumpsters.

Make them clean up their own trash! Stop enabling disgusting behavior. The homeless have nothing to do all day, stop pretending they are helpless. Give them work, purpose, and dignity. If demanded, they would keep their area neat and tidy instead of a crap heap.

I was born in Portland...... I haven’t seen Portland for over 5 years ....... on the main highway it was so amazing to look at the trees -shrubs And some what good graffiti and now there’s garbage and Scribbles of graffiti for miles ... I just visited today
You actually have to be stupid to believe this bro😹 it’s definitely better than spending more money to put them in jail for 5 days and send them right back out with even a worse chance to get a job and with nothing except food stamps, what else are they gonna do besides go score some more dope
Challenge people, watch the people at the bottom fail. Its like clockwork. The only solution is to chuck such folks into homes or programs where the really hard decisions are made for them. If the government abdicates from that, like most woke governments of today do, or want to do, then the people just end up as street trash.
It was horrible. I live here and they weren’t just under the bridge they were in the park, on the catwalk and all along the mall. It’s still bad but nothing like this. It’s sad when criminals can get a bed, food, shelter and extras, while the mental illness get tossed on their butts.
just because you are homeless, you don't have to trash your surroundings......law enforcement kicks homeless out if they trash the "camp" in my area.....there isn't one any longer.......
Which always perplexes me considering the number of empty houses owned by banks. Also look around every where people plant grass and flowers trees and imagine vegetables gardens. Not to mention military spending and a sprawling prison industrial complex instead of free or affordable higher education. Ratopia sigh...
@@Lion-rf8xi Do you realize the banks homes would also be trashed? Vegetables are not easily grown - it takes proper sunlight and soil pH, monitoring, weeding and watering. Whose doing that? The military industrial complex is what it is. No one can stop that. And free education is not free; it’s also brain washing, allowing people graduate with useless “studies” degrees. ❤️
They really should teach this in schools. How to prevent this from happening to you. Or if you do become homeless, how to make it so you don't do it this way and have a game plan to get out of it.
Yups I think so cuhs before it was clean you can barely see homeless camping out on street, but nowadays when the pandemic started there’s a lot of em camping on the side of the roads eveywhere especially the the bike lane max station any under bridges in Portland , downtown Portland is where the rest of the homeless is at close to moda center the Trail Blazers gym man invading Portland
@Darquan Ranklin III on my way to Portland from the coast saw bunch of homeless camping under the bridge I’m guessing that the bridge I’m not sure but yeah there’s hella invading Oregon from Cali ,this one tweaked came up to me one time asking for change she said she came all the way from Cali to Portland trynna find a new life in Oregon
That casienwhey is the real objective. Trash area, chase out regular folks, buy up property at basement prices. Flip and sell for massive prices. REPEAT.
these folks gotta go now ,every town seems to be thier personal dump ,im sooo tired of the trash ,the junk ,the junkies we cant afford this anymore ,youve wore out your welcome the real homeless people are getting screwed because the funds for living space is spent to cleanup this crap ,so there goes your grant money to get shelter where do ya think it comes from ,your housing funds
cc cav--I agree, I live in Sacramento, and ride my bike for exercise on the miles of paved bike trails we have here. Bu in either direction there are homeless living in tents and leaving their trash everywhere--it's so prevalent it's hard to enjoy a bike ride because of the piles of garbage they leave. Rangers who are also cops, will make them move when it gets too trashy, and there are crews of workers both paid and volunteers who do nothing but pick up trash but they cannot keep up with it--it's just too much. I'm glad we have a security fence around my apt. complex or they would be on the property here stealing and otherwise creating havoc. All I know is that it;s a losing battle around here in my neighborhood...
@EarlyMornings&LateNights How true it is. If these people would try harder and not give up, things would be a lot better for them. Things are still bad in my neighborhood--but there is one or 2 camps where I cycle by and they keep their area orderly, and trash free. If people living there did ask me for help I would be more inclined to give food or clothes because they show some self-respect and respect for the neighborhood. However, I never give out cash under any circumstances. Overall, this is a problem that does not seem to have any answers corporately on the whole, but individuals can do better and start with cleanliness, which I see as the first step forward. The Bible says that those who refuse to work, should not eat: 2Th 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. There is a difference between the worthy poor, and those who refuse to even try to work, and instead they steal, do drugs alcohol, and tobacco, and live in filth. I believe the worthy poor which includes mothers with children, should be provided with the right kind of help as needed. Some single men, especially those fresh out of prison want o work but find the path extremely difficult.
I Live in Canada B.C. Nanaimo respectively, there was a record making and news worthy, tent city in the down town area in the summer of 2018 where several hundred homeless addicts occupied a space around two acres or so, for six months. spreading garbage, dirty needles, etc. until the city made arrangements to build two them temp housing shelters by Christmas, one of which is right across the street from my apartment building, the fenced shelter needs round the clock security guards to keep them from trashing the area and my building gets near daily security sweeps now to keep them away from my building and stealing from the cars in the parking lot...
Just as long as those great social workers and citizens have a clean warm place to sleep, and not have to look at them sometimes, That's what's most important.
You obviously aren’t educated if you believe that😹 it’s a way better option than sending them to jail for 5 days just to put them back on the streets with even less than they had. What else are they gonna do besides go score more dope. Go educate yourself
You can be homeless but that isn't an excuse to be an animal. Near one of my businesses homeless people fight, kill eachother, do drugs, break glass bottles that puncture peoples car tires including my tires, put trash all over, poop all over, harass my costumers. It isn't fair for me I worked so hard to open my businesses for many years. I had a homeless guy attack one of my employees a year ago and they quit after working for me for 3 years. People feel unsafe.
3rd world countries actually took offense years back when Los Angeles was equated to 3rd world. Despite their problems 3rd world countries actually have better sewage treatment than Los Angeles.
If you notice a lot of these people really need help and probably worked most of their lives and paid taxes but now that they need help our government turns there back on them and its sad and disgusting. We need more mental health programs along with housing with a 2 strike rule if you get caught breaking them you lose your place to live and if it's breaking the law you go to jail
that is what make help hard for the one in need!!! absolutely no reason that area should have gotten that disgusting and dirty ... in my past 3 yrs homeless i made sure where ever i had the privilege of sleeping be a night or a week that my surrounding were kept clean .. never once did i have issues from surrounding residents or issues with city due to the surrounding i was in .. that was gross and i understand why the city removed them !!
I'm so sick of the news media calling homeless peoples belongings trash, it's their personal items it has value to them it's not worthless garbage as they keep saying.
No it is trash, where do you think the garbage the homeless create goes? Do you think they have garbage cans that the city empties weekly? How naive can you be?
@@flowersandcandyflowersandc9093 how dense are you? It has no value to them, im talking about literal garbage. The same garbage you and I create everyday. Imagine if there was no garbage man to pick it up. That garbage.
Horrible! The cleanup, while very necessary, doesn't fix anything. The people will just move somewhere else. They're not going to disappear off the face of the earth. Until some real solutions are implemented this plague is only going to get worse.
exactly! we need long term solutions that require only ONE resource- LAND!!!! Give homeless people LAND!!!!! There is a TON of land across this nation that is literally just SITTING doing NOTHING!!! Allow these people to build their own homes, grow their own foods, source their own resources on a piece of land NO ONE is using! That way, they have no excuse anymore. They can effectively create a healthy life in harmony with nature. Homeless Ecovillages. It amazes me that in this society, if someone wants to just unplug and start growing their own food, they CANT because you have to buy land and follow all kinds of rules... Why not set up a situation where people can take care of themselves WITHOUT relying on this society??? Only for the LAND itself!!!
Restore & staff Dammasch State Hospital round up all the homeless and put them there. Sorry but a return to forced, short to long term, drug treatment and mental illness treatment will have to happen if people want the "Homelessness Epidemic" to be curbed. It's obvious these people are not capable of or want to help themselves. Full-time employment at $16.00 hr min. wage vocational training, jobs and housing programs will help those that are just down on their luck.
@@solarpanel8195 If you give land away for free to those that have not worked for it, you will crash the real estate market for those who have...So you will be creating a bigger problem.
These clean-up projects should be completed by trained workers in haz-mat suits because the presence of meth residue is a clear possibility. Residue from meth use contains extremely toxic solvents which can penetrate skin and can damage lungs. Clothing and tents contaminated in the process of meth production and use should not be touched by untrained, unprotected volunteers. The people in this video have good intentions, but city officials should not have permitted this bare-handed, poorly managed project. An additional hazard was from materials, such as soda cans and plastic cups, which were contaminated with hepatitis germs.
Exactly. There's no way in hell I would volunteer to pick up that crap not unless I had hazmat gear at the very least. It was shocking to see him picking up that mess bare-handed with no mask or gloves. I hope he got vaccinated for Hepatitis and Tetanus.

Make jobs, and keep drugs out. If you don't youll have a tent City epidemic. I left Oregon because I was homeless for 6 years. Oregon is a hell hole prison.
i the last 10 years the homeless population has become so out of control you cant go anywhere without tents & trash lining streets, parks, bridges & every freeway in all directions. cost of living & housing going up every year while wages do not budge, my apartments rent in 2003 was 575$ a month now in 2021 its 1,265$ Gresham/Troutdale area, the closer you get to downtown the prices skyrocket. i've seen apartments downtown go way over 5k a month & way more. Portland has become the shit stain of the west coast
Ha! In San Diego, studios are going for $2,000, and that's not in high-end areas either. Rents have increased by at least $300 or more in the last 3 years. Everything else is costing more, too. It's getting out of control.
A group assisted a nonprofit organization in Venice California. At times, they spent 80% of the money, on consultants, architects, and administrators. They discovered a racket, where rich people got richer. After years off this, a solution was arrive whereby 140 studio condo were going to be built right in the middle of Venice Beach for $1.4 million, APIECE! And that was on donated land! Why do homeless people get to live in the most desirable land on earth? Why not in a cheaper place. It’ll never work. They won’t stay too far from where they beg and steal and buy their drugs. No wonder the homeless population has exploded!

Love how blatant the reporter + State worker are about the "embarrassment" of what's going on under that bridge. Only 1 block from the courthouse/state house whateva he said. Really?! Not going to clean it up to help these people? Nope, we're just here cuz the rats are spreading to the nice part of town. Recording ppl carrying the only possessions they own while cryin with no where to go. A shame. More effort, money + people were put there to clean it up then to help the lives that had to call that their home.
Would the situation be better if they provided lots of trash cans, porta-potties, fresh water and portable showers? Seems like it would not be difficult....

@Dewitt Leslie Starvation Wages + Greedy Landlords.
@Dewitt Leslie no need to be a dickhead stop acting like you’re just soo 100% right
You actually have to be stupid to believe this bro😹 it’s definitely better than spending more money to put them in jail for 5 days and send them right back out with even a worse chance to get a job and with nothing except food stamps, what else are they gonna do besides go score some more dope
So, turns out when the cost of living exceeds someone’s income, they can’t afford housing. Big surprise there, who would’ve thought ?
Challenge people, watch the people at the bottom fail. Its like clockwork.
The only solution is to chuck such folks into homes or programs where the really hard decisions are made for them. If the government abdicates from that, like most woke governments of today do, or want to do, then the people just end up as street trash.
It’s drugs.
Making heroin legal will certainly help!
It was horrible. I live here and they weren’t just under the bridge they were in the park, on the catwalk and all along the mall. It’s still bad but nothing like this. It’s sad when criminals can get a bed, food, shelter and extras, while the mental illness get tossed on their butts.
Agreed. Bring back institutions!
It's going to get worse a lot worse ! Many more of us will be homeless before the end of the year .
just because you are homeless, you don't have to trash your surroundings......law enforcement kicks homeless out if they trash the "camp" in my area.....there isn't one any longer.......
@Allan Curtis and the mental institutions
@@beamills9205 That is the way they roll.
Which always perplexes me considering the number of empty houses owned by banks.
Also look around every where people plant grass and flowers trees and imagine vegetables gardens.
Not to mention military spending and a sprawling prison industrial complex instead of free or affordable higher education.
Ratopia sigh...
@@Lion-rf8xi Do you realize the banks homes would also be trashed? Vegetables are not easily grown - it takes proper sunlight and soil pH, monitoring, weeding and watering. Whose doing that? The military industrial complex is what it is. No one can stop that. And free education is not free; it’s also brain washing, allowing people graduate with useless “studies” degrees.
❤️
They really should teach this in schools. How to prevent this from happening to you. Or if you do become homeless, how to make it so you don't do it this way and have a game plan to get out of it.
@Dewitt Leslie Yep.....horrible pieces to this world now.
Teech what in schoool? We don did that yesturday.
This is what I kept saying for years, nay, for decades.
Don't take drugs
It’s common sense not to end up this way
Wonder if they "moved on" to Portland?
Yups I think so cuhs before it was clean you can barely see homeless camping out on street, but nowadays when the pandemic started there’s a lot of em camping on the side of the roads eveywhere especially the the bike lane max station any under bridges in Portland , downtown Portland is where the rest of the homeless is at close to moda center the Trail Blazers gym man invading Portland
@Darquan Ranklin III on my way to Portland from the coast saw bunch of homeless camping under the bridge I’m guessing that the bridge I’m not sure but yeah there’s hella invading Oregon from Cali ,this one tweaked came up to me one time asking for change she said she came all the way from Cali to Portland trynna find a new life in Oregon
Yes, they did.
Looks like Venezuela.
Where ever democrats lead, despair and suffering follows.
Liberal bs
If only it were that simple.
Amen to that.
Republicans states are among most of the poorest in the country 😏. Oh thw ignorance
Liberals promise the land of Oz, but deliver a post apocalyptic movie from the 1980s.
It is not a housingproblem, it's a drug problem
Wait until joey 8s president
Phillipines has model for drug problem. Look it up......
Now the courts have said they can camp anywhere they want, sidewalks, entrance-ways, alleys etc... Great way to destroy a neighborhood.
That casienwhey is the real objective. Trash area, chase out regular folks, buy up property at basement prices. Flip and sell for massive prices. REPEAT.
LIBERAL destroyers running the courts.
Sound like the courts are the only ones who have any sense. Shuffling these people to the other side of the street doesn't make the problem go away.
these folks gotta go now ,every town seems to be thier personal dump ,im sooo tired of the trash ,the junk ,the junkies we cant afford this anymore ,youve wore out your welcome the real homeless people are getting screwed because the funds for living space is spent to cleanup this crap ,so there goes your grant money to get shelter where do ya think it comes from ,your housing funds
Don't come to Oregon.. our sidewalk is full
Lol lol lol
If the homeless wouldn't trash out every place they go, then they might not get hassled so much.
cc cav--I agree, I live in Sacramento, and ride my bike for exercise on the miles of paved bike trails we have here. Bu in either direction there are homeless living in tents and leaving their trash everywhere--it's so prevalent it's hard to enjoy a bike ride because of the piles of garbage they leave. Rangers who are also cops, will make them move when it gets too trashy, and there are crews of workers both paid and volunteers who do nothing but pick up trash but they cannot keep up with it--it's just too much. I'm glad we have a security fence around my apt. complex or they would be on the property here stealing and otherwise creating havoc. All I know is that it;s a losing battle around here in my neighborhood...
@EarlyMornings&LateNights How true it is. If these people would try harder and not give up, things would be a lot better for them. Things are still bad in my neighborhood--but there is one or 2 camps where I cycle by and they keep their area orderly, and trash free. If people living there did ask me for help I would be more inclined to give food or clothes because they show some self-respect and respect for the neighborhood. However, I never give out cash under any circumstances.
Overall, this is a problem that does not seem to have any answers corporately on the whole, but individuals can do better and start with cleanliness, which I see as the first step forward.
The Bible says that those who refuse to work, should not eat:
2Th 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
There is a difference between the worthy poor, and those who refuse to even try to work, and instead they steal, do drugs alcohol, and tobacco, and live in filth. I believe the worthy poor which includes mothers with children, should be provided with the right kind of help as needed. Some single men, especially those fresh out of prison want o work but find the path extremely difficult.
What a bunch of slobs they just trash every place they go
I Live in Canada B.C. Nanaimo respectively, there was a record making and news worthy, tent city in the down town area in the summer of 2018 where several hundred homeless addicts occupied a space around two acres or so, for six months. spreading garbage, dirty needles, etc. until the city made arrangements to build two them temp housing shelters by Christmas, one of which is right across the street from my apartment building, the fenced shelter needs round the clock security guards to keep them from trashing the area and my building gets near daily security sweeps now to keep them away from my building and stealing from the cars in the parking lot...
Just as long as those great social workers and citizens have a clean warm place to sleep, and not have to look at them sometimes, That's what's most important.
Thank you ted wheeler and the city council comedy.
Bastard re-elected because the opponent was FUCKING WORSE !!!
I was just out there 2 weeks ago,I saw people living in tents next to main roads and throwing their garbage on the sidewalks.
Thoughts and Suggestions: It takes one voice that everyone trusts....
Thank you for your coverage.
Kate towns are all over Oregon... there's 2 not to far from my house off of the highway....
I love it. Live the dream Oregon.
Ya , and you can blame the democrats for wanting to house and help the rest of the world! When we don't have the resources for our people!
@I'm Out no thanks your probably to ugly!
And Biden wants to open our borders and let in 25,000 refugees in as well.
How do people with your mentality actually manage to live with yourselves? Genuinely serious
@@stopowo3921 I'm living just fine! Unless your for turning America into Venezuela! Then i become worried and it would affect how i live with myself!
@@ericmedeiros5990 so y'all have the IQ of a carrot? Explains a lot tbh
You can thank Brown for this crap!
At least they can do hard drugs legally!
You obviously aren’t educated if you believe that😹 it’s a way better option than sending them to jail for 5 days just to put them back on the streets with even less than they had. What else are they gonna do besides go score more dope. Go educate yourself
This homeless camp is worse than you can imagine.
These people do it to themselves.
Total LOSERS !!!
Badder? Where tf did you study journalism and English?
Make a drug that just puts them to sleep for good problem solved.
No room for this in society.
It would be doing them a favor
You two both sound like good Christians! Yes kill the poor! Fucking scumbags you are
Oh, They Were The Salem Bridge Groopies !!! I Did'nt Know ?
Badder??
You can be homeless but that isn't an excuse to be an animal. Near one of my businesses homeless people fight, kill eachother, do drugs, break glass bottles that puncture peoples car tires including my tires, put trash all over, poop all over, harass my costumers. It isn't fair for me I worked so hard to open my businesses for many years. I had a homeless guy attack one of my employees a year ago and they quit after working for me for 3 years. People feel unsafe.
Looks 3rd world to me.
3rd world countries actually took offense years back when Los Angeles was equated to 3rd world. Despite their problems 3rd world countries actually have better sewage treatment than Los Angeles.
If you notice a lot of these people really need help and probably worked most of their lives and paid taxes but now that they need help our government turns there back on them and its sad and disgusting. We need more mental health programs along with housing with a 2 strike rule if you get caught breaking them you lose your place to live and if it's breaking the law you go to jail
There is no way i would accumulate and leave my trash
Democrats wailing, "How could this happen? We're so compassionate."
Fuck democrats 😃🖕
that is what make help hard for the one in need!!! absolutely no reason that area should have gotten that disgusting and dirty ... in my past 3 yrs homeless i made sure where ever i had the privilege of sleeping be a night or a week that my surrounding were kept clean .. never once did i have issues from surrounding residents or issues with city due to the surrounding i was in .. that was gross and i understand why the city removed them !!
I'm so sick of the news media calling homeless peoples belongings trash, it's their personal items it has value to them it's not worthless garbage as they keep saying.
No it is trash, where do you think the garbage the homeless create goes? Do you think they have garbage cans that the city empties weekly? How naive can you be?
@@seregill13 Its has value to them and me so it's not garbage.
@@flowersandcandyflowersandc9093 how dense are you? It has no value to them, im talking about literal garbage. The same garbage you and I create everyday. Imagine if there was no garbage man to pick it up. That garbage.
@@seregill13 Shut up.
One man's meat is another man's poison.
And every one of them would vote Democrat
Horrible! The cleanup, while very necessary, doesn't fix anything. The people will just move somewhere else. They're not going to disappear off the face of the earth. Until some real solutions are implemented this plague is only going to get worse.
exactly! we need long term solutions that require only ONE resource- LAND!!!! Give homeless people LAND!!!!! There is a TON of land across this nation that is literally just SITTING doing NOTHING!!! Allow these people to build their own homes, grow their own foods, source their own resources on a piece of land NO ONE is using! That way, they have no excuse anymore. They can effectively create a healthy life in harmony with nature. Homeless Ecovillages. It amazes me that in this society, if someone wants to just unplug and start growing their own food, they CANT because you have to buy land and follow all kinds of rules... Why not set up a situation where people can take care of themselves WITHOUT relying on this society??? Only for the LAND itself!!!
Restore & staff Dammasch State Hospital round up all the homeless and put them there. Sorry but a return to forced, short to long term, drug treatment and mental illness treatment will have to happen if people want the "Homelessness Epidemic" to be curbed. It's obvious these people are not capable of or want to help themselves. Full-time employment at $16.00 hr min. wage vocational training, jobs and housing programs will help those that are just down on their luck.
@@solarpanel8195 If you give land away for free to those that have not worked for it, you will crash the real estate market for those who have...So you will be creating a bigger problem.
Move them to the state capital, see if this gets the politicians moving to help them find housing.
Salem OR is full of these rats.
Dang seems we care more about illegal aliens than we do about our own
I didn't know it was this bad. I know there are homeless in every city but this is bad.
Look up Kensington in Philly makes this look like paradise
Sir, if they are living under it, it is called an overpass.
These clean-up projects should be completed by trained workers in haz-mat suits because the presence of meth residue is a clear possibility. Residue from meth use contains extremely toxic solvents which can penetrate skin and can damage lungs. Clothing and tents contaminated in the process of meth production and use should not be touched by untrained, unprotected volunteers. The people in this video have good intentions, but city officials should not have permitted this bare-handed, poorly managed project. An additional hazard was from materials, such as soda cans and plastic cups, which were contaminated with hepatitis germs.
Exactly. There's no way in hell I would volunteer to pick up that crap not unless I had hazmat gear at the very least. It was shocking to see him picking up that mess bare-handed with no mask or gloves. I hope he got vaccinated for Hepatitis and Tetanus.
Ever seen a clean homeless camp?
The city council of Portland, Oregon is the finest city council in the western hemisphere.
yup you better believe it.
Left wing radical scum.
It's horrible enough to be homeless but , they just trash everywhere they go.
Making their conditions even worse. Tragic.
so, they get kicked out, then, complain......
It's getting worse in my area... They keep coming here like rats they are fucking up both the town's I've lived in since I was a kid
thank you democrats, Thats your make, Send sharpton there

I can't understand why people don't spread out and find their own small camps, keep them clean and small and there's generally no problem.
These rats are not mentally capable of doing anything like that. Their priority is getting high and not working.
Look at the rich tv teleprompter lady that has no interest in the suffering of her own people.
Welcome to good ole USA but people from other countries come here and live like kings and queens go figure!
They work and have ambition and take care of their families.
If you use "badder" rather than "worse" guess what? You've chosen to be homeless.
Each time I have been in a conversation with homeless folks, I always recommend they go camp in downtown Portland. Better services and close to all new programs, pan handling is far better
All heartless comments here. Not all homeless are bad most need a helping hand and mental health and yes drug addiction help. Giving them work I’m sure most would do it for living and food. They are American PEOPLE.All in my opinion 🇺🇸✊🏻
You’re the first comment I’ve seen here with humanity
#Socialism
Socialism would fix this problem Capitalism creates.
@@abram730 Portland is very socalist you idiot
@cromwell2007 You speak of yourself, idiot. The USA is not a Capitalist economy, rather we have a mixed economy. If you want Capitalism, move to Somalia or Haiti.
Socialism can survive without Capitalism, although things get rough. Capitalism however can't survive without Socialism.

Damn, they're just on their way to Calfornia. Give' m a break.

That’s how Antifa lives.
Not true at all. Wasn’t that your mother walking away on that video?
These people should try to get their shit together
People condemn this kind of behavior when they do it to their own home, so why would should it be okay to do it in a public place??
Make jobs, and keep drugs out. If you don't youll have a tent City epidemic. I left Oregon because I was homeless for 6 years. Oregon is a hell hole prison.
You want this kind of a future, vote Democrat.
I don’t understand the problem here. It’s a democrat utopia!! Exactly what the people voted for.
We need to make this situation very much more gooder.
More gooder? It is just as bad as having a double negative. It should be more good.
i the last 10 years the homeless population has become so out of control you cant go anywhere without tents & trash lining streets, parks, bridges & every freeway in all directions. cost of living & housing going up every year while wages do not budge, my apartments rent in 2003 was 575$ a month now in 2021 its 1,265$ Gresham/Troutdale area, the closer you get to downtown the prices skyrocket. i've seen apartments downtown go way over 5k a month & way more. Portland has become the shit stain of the west coast
Ha! In San Diego, studios are going for $2,000, and that's not in high-end areas either. Rents have increased by at least $300 or more in the last 3 years. Everything else is costing more, too. It's getting out of control.
Send them all to Kate Browns house she has room for them.
She can give them all Blumpkins
Badder?
And one more thing I'd like to say what a waste of taxpayers money to put up sign saying no trespassing city ordinance. They don't enforce it at all
A group assisted a nonprofit organization in Venice California. At times, they spent 80% of the money, on consultants, architects, and administrators. They discovered a racket, where rich people got richer. After years off this, a solution was arrive whereby 140 studio condo were going to be built right in the middle of Venice Beach for $1.4 million, APIECE! And that was on donated land! Why do homeless people get to live in the most desirable land on earth? Why not in a cheaper place. It’ll never work. They won’t stay too far from where they beg and steal and buy their drugs. No wonder the homeless population has exploded!

Love how blatant the reporter + State worker are about the "embarrassment" of what's going on under that bridge. Only 1 block from the courthouse/state house whateva he said. Really?! Not going to clean it up to help these people? Nope, we're just here cuz the rats are spreading to the nice part of town. Recording ppl carrying the only possessions they own while cryin with no where to go. A shame. More effort, money + people were put there to clean it up then to help the lives that had to call that their home.
Would the situation be better if they provided lots of trash cans, porta-potties, fresh water and portable showers? Seems like it would not be difficult....
I hope they’re enjoying another lovely winter..
