Why don’t any of these people allow the homeless to pitch tents in their yards or live in their homes? I mean where is your compassion?

Housing will end homelessness?

Its a new day! And bears use toilet paper when they shit in the woods!!

"Housing now" is a non-starter. Kudos to Tom Brenneke for saying it. And no blame for using the system.

Put a bum in an apartment without "supportive social services" and the bum will likely trash the place and invite fellow bums over to help him.

We are on a societal slippery slope and I'd like to live long enough to see how it turns out.

Personal accountability is history. Give a tent, tarp, money from canning to buy blues, free meals, and shelter if it gets really cold and rainy, and I fear for the future.

Let's hope some journalist notes the important role Oregon's own Senior U.S. Circuit Judge Diarmuid O'Scannlain of the Ninth Circuit played in the Supreme Court's decision in the Grants Pass case. His strong statement against the Ninth Circuit majority's "invention" of a constitutional right to sleep on public property set the stage for the Supreme Court's reversal. What are the chances the State of Oregon and the City of Portland will repay Judge O'Scannlain the favor and act on the opportunity to save our city and state?

I had no idea how much money these sscamsters made.

Clearly I made the wrong decision in pursuing re-election as DA six times!

I know you know all 8 of those $100K plus do nothing job openings will be used to line pockets of those “who know somebody”. Good thing they get plenty of dough through various channels from those that can print it at will.

Ted….full of nice sounding words…no action. Oh but today (7/1) is the day he will start enforcing the gentlest camping ban in Oregon. Don’t hold your breath.
