How about we prioritize long term affordable housing for veterans? People who have served the country should not be left to wither on our sidewalks.
you woulkd have to bring down rents for that to happen and no one not even the lib-tards will allow that to happen.. goood luck
agreed 👍
Maybe we could stop giving money to Ukraine and direct that money to our homeless veterans.
I’m tired of people using this as an excuse for homelessness. We have the va home loan for a zero down payment house all veterans are qualified for, we have veterans preference for all employers and they actually like hiring vets in my experience. And we have the va. Homeless veterans are homeless by choice and that’s just the facts.
This is a law that Oregon really wanted and they gave it to you. Now you are complaining that you have it.
This was a law that people wanted passed and I'm happy that the law was passed and now I can walk my kids safely to the park in the store without worrying about a dude standing there with a machete staring us down
@@TopNotch_Fishing Heartless bastard! YOU and your KIDS have a home to goto and SHUT the door! The homeless DONT!
I used to live and work in areas with a lot of homeless. Most have money. But they would rather spend their money on drugs and alcohol. And they don’t care what you think and don’t want to be sober. Good luck fixing that.
Thanks for the input. It is what most of us suspected.
And unfortunately we are the beneficiary of their filth. Homeless zombies are the gift that keeps on giving.
I'm homeless and I don't use drugs or alcohol I lost my job and got evicted
@@Northwest425 But yet you are on the web.
@@Northwest425 Lucky for you that OR provides for you.
Portland is going to naturally select themselves into a ghost town at this point.
I got an idea!
How about let’s make laws and criminalize the scumbags that keep raising the cost of rent and mortgages!
Yes! Rent control and banning supply and demand will end homelessness forever! It can’t fail!
i agree!
@@brawndothethirstmutilator9848 attitudes like yours is WHY america doesnt deserve saving.
When you've been homeless for years, that's a choice. Taxpayers are footing the bill for all the social services available which means at some point you have to follow rules. Accept drug rehab, clean up your act, get a job or dry out in prison. No more reckless unaccountability. Homeless advocates are enablers, not problem solvers.
It is a choice. A policy choice.
@spongeintheshoe, Yes we need to stop these out of control policy makers from legislating homelessness onto people. Most of them had homes and mowed their lawns before the policy makers forced them into tents.
@@spongeintheshoe your handle should be "Sponge in the Brain".
@@jwhiskey242 Because it’s highly absorbent?
@MarvinThiessen hum. Have you noticed the cost of housing? Have you noticed the min wage ? Mathematics will explain it all if people use it. Where are affordable housing for low wage workers? It appears that housing is only available for high income earners.
Grants Pass homeless camping law wasn't abusive, they allow homeless to camp in designated parks but they must move to a new park every week, this distinction means they are camping and the park is NOT their home. Homeless advocates think making them move every week was criminalizing homelessness, it is not, they would only get a ticket if they wouldn't move, some resisted moving to test the law, they failed. Volunteers help homeless move every week, this volunteer help is direct contact with the homeless as they try to assist them with moving, getting into rehab, improving their situation.
Yep, even living on BLM land you can only stay 14 days before you have to move. A lot of these homeless brought this situation on themselves by turning these places into junk yards.
Theres a lot of empty church pews at night that should be used as beds for the needy. Like this would be Jesus stuff they preach about, right?
Oh really. How many are you willing to take in? Just what churches need - infestations of vermin, wrecked bathrooms, vandalism and herds of addicts that refuse to leave when told.
I was homeless for 35 years across 46 states! NEVER succumbed to drugs , alcohol or vices, and possess a 147 IQ! I can see the vast picture that no one seems capable of but me!
Providing tiny homes is a solution - not arresting the mentally ill that want to camp in cities. More than 20% of homeless are mentally ill - it is a fact !
💯 True!
Of that number how many have mental illness as a result of drug addiction?
ALL of american society is mentally ill!
If local governments like Portland really cared about the homeless, they would set aside green areas for homeless to camp out for a small fee outside of downtown. It would get them out of the streets and away from businesses and customers who are trying to keep public places clean, drug free, and functional.
No sh!t.. and give them simple jobs that help them re-integrate into society.. but no, the homeless boogey-man has to be perpetually homeless to keep the rest of the tax slaves in line... this is a manufactured crisis, and our state-tapeworms and their ruling-family-owned "non-profits" have been milking it hard and long!
Camp on the highways I do
Or just give them homes?
@@spongeintheshoe Give them drug and mental health support in a mandated program.
@spongeintheshoe, Have you seen what the mainly drug addicted and untreated mental disordered homeless have done to the “free housing” given to them in other places? They have had to be condemned and became hazmat cleanup issues.
Clarence Thomas has a job. I suggest you get one too
Our supreme kangaroos take enough bribes to end the state-manufactured "homeless crisis".. nice population control, tax slave colony of Oregon.. you made yourselves and the cartels lots of $ while defrauding the tax slaves and killing off your undesirables.
He has lots of free gifts.
Clarence Thomas is a well paid prostitute in a robe.. he sold his soul a long time ago to the system of enslavement he now helps run.
@calliey59 hello, those judges are able to get gifts, but i believe they have show it on their taxes. Yes, I respect your comment though. Yes I feel it's wrong too.
I can’t believe this these people shouldn’t be like this. Most homeless people are veterans. It makes me sick to think what’s happening to our nation
@@amberdsny1124 veterans have wayyyy more tools at their disposal than ordinary citizens to succeed. Veterans who are homeless are homeless by choice pure and simple.
Blair Best is giving us a gun show with that sleeveless shirt
Throw the addicts in rehab or jail if they dont go and help the actual homeless, mentally ill veterans, hard times etc, help them get housing and income
Those unicorns that aren't addicts, or actual homeless as you call them are a very small percentage and could be easily assisted with just a portion of the homeless budget. The big problem is the homeless industry is extremely lucrative. It creates an employment market for those with degrees that would otherwise be of no value. The industry is also an excellent way to launder government funds, give jobs to political cronies and get elected to office in the first place.
I am a person who has served my/our country. I served four years Honorably, including two short tours in the Gulf War. I work for $18.75 an hour. I do not sleep on the hard street. I sleep in my cargo van, shielded from rain, snow and insects. I'm free from crime, drugs and alcohol. The thing about shelters is you are given time limits you can live there. Some cities only allow staying there a month. Home mortgages are unattainable for most folks. Hotel stay is unaffordable now. Apartment rent is tough to make in our day. We are damed by the rich if we pay rent, or damed by them if we fail to pay, meaning we will be fined because we live outside and do not pay them rent. Wekcome to the new American normal. 🇲🇾
kudos!
to fccking bad...do not violate VAGRANCY laws and ruin the city for the actual taxpayers...
Your a f ing fool
not very NICE are ya? For shame
Home of the teddy mafia
Who the heck is that reporter? Isn't there a professional dress code? She looks like she just ran out of the gym to do an intro. Ya, someone you can trust for 'news'.
They’re still supposed to have medical insurance. I don’t know why you can’t at least mandate 1 year of long term treatment then have a lot more Oxford houses for them when they’re sober. If they have mental disabilities they should be able to get into dementia wards and mental health facilities.
Why don't you take them home with you?! Donate your salary to help homeless people. It's easy to use our money to do whatever it's serving your public image rather than public interest.
Bravo!
Just give them some land to camp on outside of the business district. Seems pretty simple.
VOTE BLUE!!
What happened to UN equitable and just transition, no one left behind
F the UN
I just left affordable housing after 5 months housing is a really bad idea for a bunch of drug addicts
So do we leave them on the street in tents??
Seems like mandatory drug rehab should be required for housing.
The infrastructure to address this is going to be extensive and costly.
Every city needs to figure out how to change the homeless situation,,it's everywhere...
Perhaps the homeless should have a representative in sh!tty councils everywhere.. (city councils, but properly spelled).
Baton Rouge has a place provided for the homeless.
Basically - you can hobo, but you can't bum.
They can always f off to another state.
They can get free money/housing from the government. They don’t have to sleep outside. It’s disgusting. 😮
They choose to steal, to buy drugs.
or really? Haha Spoken like someone whos never been in that helpless condition eh?
Prioritize the temporary homeless people that are not druggies first.
Well that's a pretty small group
@@rustynails8756 I hear you. Therefore, "priority." Save the ones that are the most savable first with the finite resources.
i don't see this decision as a punishment but to help all others to live as well. The business and the handicap people also can use the sidewalk. The decision didn't ban the homeless to sleep on the street, to carry their own sleeping bag, clothes, personal belonging but they can't camp outside your business 24/7 or sidewalk and they give the city the right to manage the city. Where is the punishment?
What needs to happen is affordable housing for min wage workers. Many people make min wages, or just a little more. So paying 1000 a month on rent is very difficult.
I hate it when people say that minimum wage wasn’t meant to be a living wage. Like, that’s literally why it was invented.
I had 3 roommates when I was young.
@deadcarz4926 that's cool. But me personally hate being around people. I shouldn't have to be forced to live with others.
@spongeintheshoe I make 5 dollars more per hour than the federal minimum wage, I can barely afford my $1,300 a month apartment that keeps going up every year. Small ass 1 bedroom second floor no parking apartment.
yeah its not difficult, its impossible.
I love this Supreme Court!!! Maybe let’s FORCE people to get off drugs
@@hunterchannel488 drugs? Is that the reason why people end up homeless?
@@theomartin7339 I was homeless for 35 years across 46 states! NEVER succumbed to drugs or alcohol, and possess a 147 IQ! I can see the vast picture that no one seems capable of but me!
They choose this. They turn down shelter because they have to be clean. I agree they should be punished especially because they turn down shelter.
Or because they have to leave what few possessions they have in a room full of strangers overnight.
yeah, what do you know about it?
@@cliftongaither6642 more than you obviously. 🤣
@@spongeintheshoe I'm speaking of the drug addicted homeless that turn down shelter because they can't bring their gear to get high.
We all know they exist.
@@johnene ok, when and where were you homeless, and did you stay in a shelter?

Inaccurate cliche, wanker.
Many, most of us certaintly did not vote for homeless encampments on
our streets.
you need 120k income to qualify for a 500k single family home these days.
republican or democrat, neither party can change that.
Ok, so find a career that can substantiate a $500,000.00 home or move. Working in fast food, grocery stores and pumping gas, where never meant to be career type professions. Society's standards are being dumbed down by the schools, government and our kids seeing these losers holding signs and begging for money.
You know who u never see beg for money ? Are Mexicans, Asians or even black people. always white people asking for a free hand out. Or least a high majority of the time. What do u expect out of a country that has no respect for itself, soft on crime etc...
" you are who u hang out with "
Is a great quote.

@@rustynails8756 SECURE. 4th Amendment.
@@johnnyatoms3620 you are making less sense than an eight month old child babbling. Security and 4th Amendment prohibitions on illegal search and seizure have zero to do with the topic at hand. Go sleep off whatever has you confused and perhaps a more intelligent discussion could be engaged in.

I know. Kamala is a walking disaster!
Thanks OR. The other 49 states resent this act. They told us to leave, but bet they can't make us. OCCUPY OR.
This is gonna create a revolution
And not ONE interview of someone paying property taxes that might say it's about time. I say let's move all the homeless to the news organizations and see how they like it.
not very NICE are ya?
Move them to lake oswego ! The news needs to stop acting as if all the homeless are victims..,
Most of them are.
Most of them are victims of bad life choices.
Gov't could buy several skyscrapers and turn them into open air prisons for the thousands of homeless. Nobody gets a UBI because nobody is working.
If sleeping on public property is a right cuz homeless people has no where to sleep, then is stealing for food a right cuz hungry people has no food eat? What a stupid argument.
The homeless advocates should house the homeless in their own home if they care for the homeless people so much. The homeless issue will disappear if all the homeless advocates out there adopt one and house them in their own home. Taxpayers deserve to enjoy the public area that their tax dollars paid for without putting up with the filthy & dangerous conditions caused by homeless encampments.
Instead, the homeless advocates just take the grant monies from the gov to pretend like they care about homeless people while laughing all the way to the bank. Homeless advocates just want more homeless people because they profit from them. These homeless advocates are only crying now cuz their revenue stream might become smaller after this ruling. We have lots of shelter spaces that the homeless refuses to sleep in then go around & complains that they don't get help, this ruling should address this problem.
Yes, stealing food should NOT be illegal for the hungry! Sorry bub
Good.
From the looks of it, Clarence Thomas has made better decisions.
Too many clueless women in OR.
War on poverty-what absolute nonsense.
That “veteran” was especially stupid.
the poor and homeless are the enemy of greed
Smart thing to do is give the homeless one way bus tickets east. I'm thinking Florida.
I'm thinking to where they were born - and I bet that probably isnt Florida.
@@jwhiskey242 Florida has sent their unwanted to California. This would be returning the favor. Besides most of the homeless are American citizens.
No. Homelessness has cause more PROBLEMS in Portland along with drugs. If they had stricter rules about homeless camps, then sure, but portland has gone to shit because of Homelessness being every where which caused more theft and drug abuse. It needs to go, and the governor needs to get off her scrawny ass and actually do something like stop allowing rent and housing to go up. Both are at fault.
This is disgusting, literally hiding homelessness or throwing them in jail for being poor.
Take some in you feel so strongly about it.....But I bet you wont.
@@jwhiskey242 Let me make sure, I understand what you’re saying. Unless people are willing to take people experiencing homelessness into their own homes they should not expect people to be given shelter with the taxes that they pay?? Wow and conservatives call themselves Christian’s 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You should house them yourself
You know, and I think that most would agree, the homeless should be able to camp in Portland anywhere that they want. It's just the right thing to do.
OUR GOVERNMENT CHOSE THE DEATH OF AMERICA FOR THE COMFORTS OF SATAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the expense of hard working tax payers who have to be afraid of stepping on needles or running into a guy with a machete. Yes, let's just have them in front of businesses or playgrounds too. Moronic tool.

idiot.
There are crazy people out there and veterans that definitely need help with housing. Then they’re just a lot of people who are out there because well it’s just the way they wanna live. I believe the punishment might actually have them have to get up and get a job and find a place to live like all of us who pay over taxes who are middle income who basically have all their tax money going to help the poor and the homeless. Isn’t it funny though how rich never have to pay shit??
People who just _want_ to live that way are so rare as to be statistically irrelevant.
@@spongeintheshoe Bullshit. I worked with the homeless for years. In general they are a group that dont want to follow any rules and that is how they end up on the street. Most have families - but since they have f%cked them over numerous times they are estranged from them.
