How much money has to be spent with zero results? Does anyone have a answer to solve this issue cause money is not doing it.
I do ..but its not going to ever occur here
Housing costs $1500+ a month times 12 months times 30,000 (at least) families struggling to pay rent or already homeless = half a billion dollars a year. Metro doesn’t have even close to that much money which is why their current approach isn’t ending homelessness.
Devils advocate here but when will we build mental health inpatient facilities to address the mental health and addiction issues causing the overwhelming majority of this crisis? Its pretty common sense that's what needs to be done yet we keep spending money on things that are not gonna work
Attacking symptoms while ignoring root causes, it's the progressive way.
The shelter beds are cool, but that doesn’t help people get off the street or drugs.
Go sleep on one and report back.
@ I have.
Mayor Wilson sounds like a vinyl record with a skip in it. We've yet to hear anything else besides just getting a bed for a night. No mention of mental health or drug addiction.
You finally figured out Trump bashing gets ur show cancelled 😂
Housing first. Housing first. Housing first. Is anyone listening? I thought so.
No because most people know that's stupid AF.
Cheating 🤡☝️🇳🇫🇸🇪
My witnesses by daily life ☝️🇳🇫🇸🇪🌎🔥
I want to find out how I can open up a shelter.....
You need to give money to the salvation army and let them run it themselves!
No plan,shameful! Just take the Lloyd center and turn it into A 24 hour door revoling shelter or a office building in the loyd district!
Nice word salad, Bill-Bob.
An 8 year old would think that works
@@Azazel2024 You sure don't have any other options,now do you????
Always being stupid instead of being productive. U speak like a old white woman ,A DEI retired senior
I'm burned out by bums and drug addicts constantly on public transportation, literally near every place you go and while it's declined its Portland. You made this as bad as it is
