Homeless with 8 stolen vehicles....
Wonder how much he was charging for rent and protection? Nice gig he had going on there.
@@surelyyoujokemeinfailure7531 after my post that was my thought...he was renting those out....
Exactly
We don’t know they were stolen vehicles. He said he owned them. Is it unusual for a homeless person to own 8 vehicles? Yes! 😅
Homeless shelters on wheels
"it's almost like normal people don't want drug addicts here making a massive biohazard mess, committing crimes, and harassing passers by"
Same old story.... garbage eveywhere around these homeless camps. In my hood one camp that got started the city put out a dumpster before it grew so big. It just grew and grew. All the junk, trash, needles, pipes where all over the grounds and roads yet the dumpster got very little use. Being homeless does not give them the right to turn lots into mini city dumps all over the place.
You have to realize the homeless aren't doing this, it is the corrupt politicians keeping all the billions allocated for the homeless causing this, "they" give all the resources to illegal aliens and none to AMERICAN CITIZENS!!
Our government is no longer representing the people and it is time to remove the rot that is the corrupt federal government!!
I'm guessing if they had a little place to stay it wouldn't be like this. Those little tiny home areas are kept up nice by the people who live in them
@@Emmy-JThey probably have rules to abide by to live in one of those tiny homes. Many turn down established places to seek shelter because they don't want to follow the rules.
Because you are homeless doesn't mean you need to be disgusting.
@@cherylsmith4826tweakers love to hoard stuff
They can't even be bothered to keep the property they're trespassing on reasonably tidy, yet they act as though they are entitled to live there.
If people kept the area clean and tidy this might not of happened, doubt the city will give them an unused area too, they'll have to keep moving, it's sad for those that were clean and respectful.
And the liberals gladly oblige.
Bro you just described the settlers that came to america.
@@stus2159
Sad but true.
@s.s.chapter2219as a contractor, you're not entitled to my labor nor can your Nazi government force me to charge you less than what I desire.
It's not fair to the residents in the area.
The dude had 7 or 8 cars there.
Yeah, that's part of the issue.
That is too much
If he had money for seven or eight cars, he could’ve gotten himself an apartment for that
@@johnjunde1907then he could not rent the cars out
The car guy was mental
He's probably renting them out. @@johnjunde1907
My Son in Law is a Counselor and has been trying to help these individuals to get out of the street. These individuals will not leave until they are forced. The y would rather live on free subsistence, DRUGS and use the street as Bathrooms than face responsibility and refuse help most times rather than become part of society again.
The reason we have this problem is because of the way your son in law looks at these situations
@@craigvogel2935 you are incorrect they need to get off their ass and get a job AMYWHERE! Look at the foreigners that are entering your country, they can't wait to get a job however these drug addicts want only to beg.
Got a few of those around here, too, "Don't want someone telling me how to live, man."
@@craigvogel2935no. They’re right. I was helping a homeless person as I could with water or a snack. One night last winter I saw him and it was cold so I felt bad for him even if he caused it in himself. But then I felt disheartened when he told me he wanted to be homeless because he didn’t want to work anymore because of the drama and I guess something to do with his drugs. He also said he’s rather be taking his drugs. Not have to worry about getting in trouble with his work place.
After participating in this society for 25 years I don't blame them.
I work 12 hours a day just so I can afford a place to crash. Then I do it again the next day. It's fucking depressing, I dream of the day I can finally die and be done with this crap.
It's about F-ing time something be done. I would have more sympathy if these people wouldn't leave so much garbage for other people to clean up.
And had jobs
Everything you see there was STOLEN or provided by taxpayers!
Now WE are paying to clear it up.
Exactly
I was homeless in 2021-2022
And always threw away my trash and kept my site clean
Took showers everyday.
We are not all the same
Like the sympathy of strangers is required.
Rent prices are the problem and well paying jobs.
What would your house look like if it had no walls?
To anyone who's a contributing member of society, to anyone who respects the law, to anyone who is not a mentally ill homeless drug addict, it's the sound of progress.
Enforcing the law, what a novel concept.
Next they need to do some code violations on homeowners..
Ok close the gd border then
@@philliphall5198 I couldn't agree more. Close it, then round em up and send em home!

I'm sorry for the legitimately homeless, but those aren't the people who trash the surroundings.
If that guy can OWN 8 vehicles then he can afford to live in a decent place
A descent place to live comes with monthly expenses and responsibilities.
Would have to be cleaned and maintained.
Probably would have to get a Job.
So.... probably not.
Not in this economy

He most likely made his money from renting them out. A roadside landlord of sorts collecting fees from people.

@@moonshinefuel He is a VanLord..
I'm homeless, but I don't throw my trash in the streets and cause problems. You would THINK that they would keep it clean so this doesn't happen but when they trash streets with their garbage and then wonder why the county is tossing everything in a trash bin. I'm sorry but I don't feel bad for them. Again, I'm homeless, but I don't throw my trash in the street or woods. That's not only disrespectful but nasty

Yet if I, a homeowner in the neighborhood paying property taxes, throw one wrapper out my car window or fail to maintain my sidewalk....
Yeah and ship them somewhere, anywhere. The nerve being homeless or hungry in the greatest country on earth. Does the Pentagon take donations?
@@uradragon It isn't about being homeless, I have seen plenty of people fallen on hard times, it doesn't mean they should be producing a waste center with no hazardous waste control. In some of the poorest countries,the dirt floors are swept, kids have on clean clothes and they have nothing. Stop making excuses for squalor and disease infestation. If they can buy drugs, they can buy bread. Priorities. The rest of us have to adhere to that. Gross.
don't cut yourself on that edge,b ub@@uradragon
It wasn’t just their homes…it was their dumpster, their drug den, and their toilet.
They forgot to show all the pipes and needles

@s.s.chapter2219you're irrelevant to me. Stop crying and get over yourself.
Here in town (Kalamazoo, MI), like anywhere else homeless gather, they refuse to pick up after themselves. Even when dumpsters are provided for encampments, they don’t use them..
They got cleaned up too 😂
Its called lack of responsibility which is exactly why they’re homeless in the first place
How do they survive the winters?
@@Null-o7j propane heaters are common inside tents, along with arctic sleeping bags. You often see sympathizers donating and dropping off propane tanks vs giving money as money can be spent on drugs or alcohol.
Are you that bored you need to come to Portland news?
A few years ago I watched the town commons of my town go from one or two tents to an infested dumping ground before the city banned everyone. Pisses me off when people do this and then make a huge mess for other people to deal with. Leeches

@@nancysaso4380they probably arnt stolen they are probably all just beaters that never ran and he was just parting them out. Still doesn't make it okay though
Prioritizing out of state criminal drifters over resident taxpayers.
They don’t have the right to trash our environment, we’re sick of it.
Law abiding citizens feel like we're being hunted. It's about time public spaces are cleaned up so the public can use them.
The public is the next to become homeless to make way for migrant families in the cold
😂 And you're going to do what on the side of a busy road? Sell your body?
Naw get a job…stop it
@stevenbaker7025 side hussle eh?
For that you'll have to leave your mother's basement.
It costs $70,000 a year after income taxes to not be homeless in California and yet we pay $106,000 per prisoner.
Glad to see it done. If youre upset by this, how about let some of these people live in your driveway or house?
Oh, but that’s different. 😂

Homeless people need to get themselves together, take a shower, go to work. Rent or buy a home, trailer, condo, shed. Support yourself. I lived with 4 of my best friends and we all split the bills. It was no different in the late 80s or early 90s than it is today surviving in this world. There were very few jobs from 1988 through the early nineties that didnt pay diddley. Jobs are everywhere now. Get out there and WORK!
You are retarded.
My girlfriend grew up in the Dominican Republic and you don’t see any homeless because they all work !!!!! And don’t blame their issues on the government. They don’t have time to bitch . Poor country but they work to survive or make their own work
I’ve lived in my car for years and never trashed places like this. This woman saying it’s not garbage, but all people have is bull. It’s terrible they do throw peoples belongings away as well, but the majority of that was trash!!! Tweakers and mental cases love to fill up shopping carts of random shit they find. Just because we are homeless doesn’t justify being trashy hoarders.
Yeah same. Actually still am living in my truck. No one would know unless they looked in the back. I throw my trash away. I work a full time job and fight fires in another state in the summer. I love the freedom and extra cash I have. I'm more disciplined and routined in my truck. This lifestyle is awesome for me and eventually I'll be going back to college with the money I've saved to become an EMT. These people here make people like me and you look bad and it pisses me off.
Why does a homeless guy have 8 vehicles?
He’s renting it out the unhoused people, it’s common in those encampments.
car hoarder!!!
I spent quite a while, homeless in downtown Dallas at no point did I ever feel like public property was mine or did I ever feel entitled that other people had to take care of me and help me…
Imagine how filthy it must be inside of those broken vehicles by the looks of the outside.
They choose drugs over jobs and crime or begging to get the drugs! Not all, But enough already!
My sympathy has all but evaporated for people who "CHOSE" to live like this instead of trying. Just trying to clean yourself up enough to accept help, treatment and a place to live. Deal with your sh!t like everyone else has to.
There are not enough affordable places for the poor to live. Nor is there enough funding for the social services needed for all the poor to get their live together. This f we want to end homelessness, we need to make a big investment in housing, social workers, and services for the poor.
@gracieofgod8899 do you live under a motor home? Here in Washington State, King County. We've spent millions upon millions on purchasing hotels and using them as shelters for homeless housing, millions on services and social workers. Know what the end result was? They didn't want it because they would have to stop doing drugs and enter treatment if they took it. Then you got those with arrest warrants, alimony, child support and owe people money. They don't want to be helped, they just want to stay off the radar. So if you're homeless, you're choosing it. I got one of those hotels down the road that sits mostly empty. So I call BS.
GLAD TO SEE THE LAW BEING ENFORCED!!! JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE "HOMELESS", DOSN'T MEAN YOU GET TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WHENEVER YOU WANT!
Finally! I thought nothing would be done and things would continue to worsen, but I see maybe half the RVs and tents.

When the police would come to my very small encampment I had to leave right then and there !!!
No 30 days notice,no Social Worker's and you know what it worked.

Tough actions are needed today not tomorrow !!!
NOT a disease. a choice. too much help available to be otherwise.
Here in Las Vegas they even trash up the bus stops. I left work to head home and this homeless couple took up the whole bus stop blocking people with the strollers full of junk and dumping their trash from Panda express on the ground. Then I saw them both taking up another bus stop on the other side of town doing the same thing. I get that some people are on hard times, but the ones who aren't doing anything with themselves and turning their surroundings into a dump? I don't feel the least bit sorry for them.
I have come to believe that Vegas was cleaner, safer and more family friendly when the mob ran it.

It's crazy because they just move on to the next place , it's a mental health crisis more than an unhoused crisis 😢
The two go hand in hand. Often the mental health issues can’t be treated properly until a person has a stable, safe place to live. Providing housing and a social worker to each unhoused person is the best way to keep the camps from shifting during sweeps.
Love the way they try to make people feel bad for these people. If I was to trash the home and yard that I own half as much as these people, I would be swimming in fines and probably lose my house. Just because you're homeless doesn't give you any more right to trash the city where I live, too.
We have people willing to walk through Mexico, then the southern US desert to sleep on concrete floors with a mylar blanket just for the opportunity to work in this country. There is no reason these folks can't go to a shelter.
Oh and I'm sure that he had all those cars registered with legal tags and insurance also legal titles and a current driver's license. Yeah right, I'm sure they're stolen
Why not just park the vehicles in a legal parking area and keep things clean? Is keeping things clean and legal impossible?
Being homeless and legal are not mutually exclusive.. you would know this I you weren't coddled your whole life
If they maintained cleanliness and not throw trash & human feces everywhere people wouldn't mind..

He owns 8 vehicles and 8 would bet none of them were registered…. Where as the rest of the people of Oregon… you know, the law abiding people who didn’t make poor choices in their lives… (like deciding to have a HUGE neck tattoo)… they get their vehicles ticketed and towed for not being registered.
It looks and smells like a land fill down there. I know, I worked at a waste transfer station. These people have lost all sense of reality and the enablers are responsible for these conditions. These addicts can not make decisions for themselves. Just look at what they subject themselves too.
These folks get offered help but don’t want it. They don’t want to follow the rules or live under any rules. Why is it okay for those of us who pay taxes and work our arses off to support our family and have to pay for auto insurance and registration . I grew up in poverty in south central LA. Being poor is a mindset and I chose to work hard, serve my country, and educate myself. Now I am forced to pay 1% out of my hard earned money to a homeless tax in Oregon. I used to give to the food bank until it was forced out of my check. Now I am planning to move to TX to avoid these state taxes. Why do I have to pay for others bad decisions in life? It’s BS and it’s about time we clean the street and start working on the mental illness problem!
Let a homeowner allow their property to look like this, and they'd be fined in a heartbeat. The city has to give them notice??? If the city really wants to get rid of the bum's, quit giving them money, food, and tow all of their vehicle's, after putting up sign's, that are in the same spot for over 24 hours. Just think how much $$ they'd save by not allowing the trash to build up in the first place.
I know the people say 'it's not garbage, but it's what we own', but the encampments everywhere always have tons of garbage
Homeless but has all these vehicles stored on public roads lmao why do homeless people think they get special privileges?
homeless people have a huge chip on their shoulder..

How does that one guy have all those vehicles, a trailer and a motorhome? They need to clean up the streets, but they need to find a better solution or it will just happen again in another location, over and over again.

Being homeless doesn't mean you have to be a pig.
With ample posted warning there is no legitimate claim for loss. Many did move to another location but with full knowledge that their new location was not legal either. If I park my car in a posted "No Parking" area, I have no legitimate argument if my car is towed. These "encampments" create a serious impact to home values, loss of business, and public safety. Illegal drug use is rampant among the homeless and those drugs cost money. Where does that money come from? Legitimate work income is 'rare in there.' We need to address a path out for those who want out and controlled supervision for the many who refuse to honor the property rights of others.
I want to know who is the top drug lord? The actual supplier to the dealers? CIA?

property values are a bubble propelled by trillions in printed money. which of course priced thousands of people out of housing. that's also an addiction, they can't quit printing money to "make loans"

No one has a home or business anywhere near this site…Seems to me they just displaced a bunch of people that really weren’t in a place that was a threat to anyone…Priorities should be the camps that are in residential and business districts…After that hit these types of camps… Although it is showing some incentive on the part of the city, I believe this to be a propaganda show but, is the problem really being addressed ??? Stay tuned for the answer to that question…

He’s homeless but has eight vehicles. How many can you live in. Don’t trash the streets if you don’t want them to come clean everything up.
If you're American, you must fend for yourself. If you're illegal the state will provide, warm busses, clothing, food etc. You're not illegal, you get nothing.
Nothing stopping them from GETTING A JOB!
Yep. I'm a trucker and I see the busses stop at truck stops and fifty well dressed Mexicans with new clothes, new shoes, invade the truck stop and they are in there buying food or whatever so we must be giving them cash too.
This situation is going to end up bankrupting the ssi system. I could almost bet that's where all this funding is coming from.
you sound brainwashed, despite what little they had to work with
There are plenty of social programs available. Public housing, section 8, welfare, food stamps, SSI, etc.. The rub is going to rehab and getting off drugs. I understand addiction is extremely difficult, but there lifestyle is punishing the rest of the community that is productive and didn’t dapple in drugs in the first place. Also mental health is a big factor.

Compassion and excess empathy causes inflation, and ultimately accelerates poverty and destitution.
That's ridiculous. Capitalism thrives off poverty.
There are alot of better areas to go to. This is the fault of the homeless individuals because they chose to live in an area where its not safe.
Once the city gets this all nice and tidy the homeless will move back in. It’s a problem that Portland will be dealing with for decades.
After cleaning up and homeless return, the Governor needs to get some balls, enforce the law, and listen to voters. ,Politicians work for the public and the public is sick and tired of tent cities, needles, trash, feces, urine, drugs, in the streets and being washed down storm drains to our rivers. Homeless need to get jobs and contribute their fair share to taxes, Medicare, etc.
If they kept it clean and tidy and didnt have piles of crap outside the vehicles, they wouldnt attract attention. They shouldve kept it just looking like parked vehicles without the mess around them, and the trailers covered.
When it looks like an eyesore and a dump, this is what happens.
there is more to it than trash, encampments attract public drug use and drug dealing, crime in neighborhoods and "chop shops", loss of business, property values, etc.
I think it's called 'the law'.
What a mess this country has become. It didn't have to end like this.
The ones that had shelters were living rent free. surely there is a location in ALL of Oregon that could be used for Rent free living just not in neighborhoods where others pay rent. Point being public property is not actually public, the people pay rent in the form of taxes. If the homeless/jobless want to live rent free then put them in the Forrest. I was homeless in Oregon once, as a vet, and the only requirement for a job was to have residence, clean urine test, and I.D. . So give them an address on public lands, and let them work.

People who use our public lands don't want them ruining our state forrests either. As a matter of fact I would rather have them squatting in a neighborhood, preferably the wealthiest one in town.
A remote section that is not on the beaten path. Eventually those that live there will figure out how to make it work. Why poke at the wealthy, just poke at those that squandered all the money that was suppose to assist them properly. Every human has a purpose, taking from those that do the work and make money should make the decisions on what to do with those that do the opposite. Not bureaucrats that squander the funds and stop the progress for success. @@Steve-ev6vx
They had some living in the forest. They ended up starting a forest fire. These people are fire bugs, Seattle had one camp that started a few large fires by the freeway before they forced them out. The homeless moved right back in before the ground went cold each time.
After all the rules of normal forest living have been broken, then they will be right back at the doorsteps of the taxpayers who rent. How does the cycle end? @@Fragmented1436
As the USA government treats the migrants to 5 star hotels. 😅😅
This is good 🎉 not everyone is homeless because they are a shitty person but a good majority is and it’s time stop letting people turn roadsides into trash dumbs and drug markets. Mad respect to the guy who said “I don’t need help I’ve never asked for help, I can live with this”
The guy is basically saying he's refusing help and will continue to live on the streets. He will continue to live in squander until he is forced to get off the streets (like most other homeless). He's mental and needs help, not "mad respect". The guy that wasn't able to get help (even though he wanted it) deserves respect.
Great work. It's sad but at the end of the day it's terrible to just have be parking in streets like this.
8 vehicles and homeless.
Lots of nad decisions.
Yup could have scrapped 7 of them and had first and last rent somewhere
This boils down to poor government. The government will not fix this. The government will only make it worse. Its what they do best.
You get what you vote for open your home to these people if you care so much
Blair- You should check in with RV camp run by Salvation Army and see if they still have empty spaces. Seems like a no brainer for them to referred there if they are spots.
Wouldn't work for her. No dope, booze, and mountains of stolen bicycles and garbage allowed. That was just an act for the camara anyway.

True. The news stations keep reporting that there is no where to go, but are really checking? All these homeless people talking about there are no alternatives. The news needs to verify it. Is there no where to go or are people just not wanting to take a shelter bed/ camp spot.@@DerBingle1
They've cleaned this up in this area, yes. But now, the issue has just gotten dispersed across the city.
Sounds like they need to go to argyle and tag them now
Actually, in the REAL WORLD, all People need to be given a Shock to their Lethargic, Deadend Habits and THIS could be EXACTLY What many of them Really NEED !! Think of Little Children Without Any Structure or Guidance, Zero pressure to get Chores or Homework done, Sleeping in Late instead if Going Off to School. Now change that Word to 'Work'.
Self-Decay is what they were doing. Pride and Purpose come from Meaningful WORK. What Progress suddenly Becomes Possible !!
Helping each other trash everything!
Helping themselves to other people's stuff.
You would think they would get together and clean up the garbage. I have never seen a homeless encampment that wasn’t piled high with garbage. When I think about homeless I see garbage.
When I grew up as a kid in the 70s I used to look at the Guinness book world records to see who the richest people in the world were. At that time there was a handful of billionaires. Today we have thousands of billionaires and more homeless than ever I think the problem is intense greed by the ultra-wealthy yes there's some lazy people out there some mentally ill people out there and there's people who have problems who would be homeless regardless but in my opinion it's the ultra-rich and caused this just like they did 150 years ago before we had broken up people who owned everything.
That's what happens when the top 1% get big tax breaks.
I would have billed the tow truck driver $10k per vehicle/trailer. and what the city did was stole the whole encampment !!! also known as theft !!! OK all I get is $350 a month from the government how many people can use this much money and rent and feed you self every month !!! Only luck I have I still live with my mother !!! but even though $350 doesn't buy much food now prices have tripled+ in the last 20 yrs. for $5 I used to be able to buy a loaf of bread a pack of bologna 500g and mustard 500ml. bologna is now $5-8. mustard is $5. and bread is $3. and to hire a family member to town now is $40 instead of $20. and if you use a taxi it is $60 one way !!! 15yrs ago it was $40 both directions !!! every time minimum wage goes up within 3 yrs all price will jump up to kill of minimum wage !!! @$12-$17 depends on where you live !!! and the food hasn't got any better. and most of the items are reduced by 1/3 in weight and not size.
Make them move away out of the city limits or to a safe camping spot with toilets and trash bins.
Make them move to Mexico
Christian spiritual warfare,fasting teams,praying,blessing,breaking curses, teams,repenting,staying away from sin. Say this god I ask you to send demons that are after me to purgatory,hell I understand you will do according to your will in Jesus name amen. Ways to survive ask god to give you a good group or family to live with under one roof so you can get help on bills. Like a group of 12 christian friends in a two story home. Also create or join a christian militia have eachother protection in mind also share resources. Etc.....vhjbjjbj
Stolen bicycles and all.
