Ted Wheeler cares.

Only for the rights of the homeless. Unfortunately Portland voters choices were that worthless POS or an Antifa Queen. Portland is lost. It’s a shame. 20 years ago it was a cool place.

There's a very simple solution to this problem: Learn to say "No" and mean it.

Camper? The woke media will put their eye out with a spoon rather than say attacked by a "homeless" man.

The Portland media acts like a Portland city PR employee. Wheeler's plan is to build supersize homeless camps. But supposedly no drugs, alcohol or fires allowed. Sure. Who is going to stop a bunch of homeless dudes firing up a makeshift fire and hanging around it shooting up and drinking? If they do, then they will have built it and they won't come.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland Fire and Rescue responded to nearly two thousand fires in homeless communities in 2022.

That accounts for more than 40 percent of all the city’s fires.

Portland Fire Commissioner Rene Gonzalez says most of these fires are caused by homeless people cooking a meal or building a fire to stay warm, but it’s draining critical resources.

“The volume is a major concern for our community, as well as the conditions it exposes our firefighters to,” he said.

These conditions include firefighters being threatened, assaulted, and even attacked by dogs – not to mention the sheer danger of responding to a fire at an unknown location.

“All of our training is built out of science, what the structure is made of how airflows work,” said Portland Fire & Rescue PIO Rick Graves.

“You don’t have science within these houseless encampments. It is a dangerous, difficult situation that we respond to.”

Both Gonzalez and Graves said the solution involves cutting down the number of unsanctioned camping sites. There are currently about 700 of them. Without sanctions, they say the city cannot regulate fire safety protocols.

“The city is moving rigorously to set up sanctioned campsites but it’s going to take a while to make a meaningful impact on the sheer volume that’s out there,” said Gonzalez.

My favorite PC label is "houseless neighbors." If you're ruining my neighborhood and stealing from me, you're not my fucking neighbor.

You're a nuisance and the enemy that needs to be driven out.

Why not just make the bums lives as miserable as possible. A creative person could come up with many ways to do so.

Just call them bums and hobos.

Good enough for the GG, good enough for me.

My first rule would be this: If it doesn't fit inside your RV, it's trash and it's gone. At the RV owner's expense.

No more shit piled in the street or on the sidewalk. Zero Tolerance.
