    Has the typhus broke out in Oregon yet?

    One man - 49-year-old Garry Roberts Jr. - "was asked several times to leave and he refused to cooperate with law enforcement so he was arrested for trespass and depositing trash within a hundred yards of a waterway," the sheriff's office said.

    Why is it a federal obligation to pay for Oregon mental health patients?

    Interstate Commerce (sort of joking, sort of)

    Pretty standard these days for cities to buy a one-way Greyhound ticket to elsewhere. Cali started the practice but Portland does it too.

    I guess I'm at the point with this FILTH that I give absolutely NO fucks about whether it is municipal, state or federal. This shit just needs to get cleaned up. Typhus knows no delineation between jurisdictions. It's out of fucking control.

    I agree. Pay the money to institutionalize the mental and make it very unpleasant for the rest. Build low cost holding pens and lock up the druggies and alcoholics. No overnight camping. No open drug use. No drunks in public. We didn't have this problem 50 years ago and we have a lell of a lot more money.

    It's not. But until states and municipalities get their shit together, they're the only ones who can put a dent in the problem. And go ahead and bill the state for the cleanup and withhold grants if they don't want to pay up.

    I'll put on a fucking MAGA hat tomorrow if Trump actually uses one of his EOs for something useful and diverts funds for a no-nonsense approach to homelessness. If Inslee wants to declare a state of emergency, take him at his word and send in the NG.

    Because it’s a nationwide issue?

    Also, I would have assumed that all of @obk stuff would fit in 1-2 dump trucks, maybe 3 tops.

    Ok. Props on a good line.

    This isn't a call for genocide - but this filth lifestyle is bullshit.

    Blame it on Reagan budget cuts for gutting mental institutions if it makes you feel better but some of 'these people' (yes, I said it) shouldn't be left to their own devices. Round them the fuck up - sift through the truly mentally ill from the drug addicts and get them to proper care or rehab. Anybody who thinks allowing them to live like savages is somehow humane is off their fucking rocker.

    It does make me feel better; thank you. With that outta the way, I’m all for it for those who are breaking the law. For the rest, it’s a dicey issue relative to civil liberties.

    I get that civil liberties part too if you've been following my posts -but that presumption that liberty also requires responsibility....but the whole 'breaking the law thing" changes the tone of the entire conversation. We have laws on the books that are simply being ignored. Enforce them. If some need to go into mental health care, so be it. But turning them back into society to be repeat offenders because of mental illness isn't good for the individual or society in general.

    But it's a complete mystery how we resolve the homeless problem overnight.

    Actually, it's not. It's a liberal state and liberal city issue.

    Low barrier controlled camping is the answer to help keep shit off of your sidewalk.

    Many homeless people camp because they’d rather sleep outside rather than get a very available shelter at night. The shelter requires you to be sober entering and you’re not allowed to leave and come back in most cases.

    Salem broke up all of the homeless camps last summer. And now hundreds of them camp on the downtown sidewalks.

    You can build all the shelters in the world. But you are always gonna have the ones that won’t use them.

    Controlled low barrier camps are worth a try imo.

    Far enough away that they can't steal sh*t to pay for the drugs and alcohol. Which means they wouldn't go and stay there voluntarily.

    Yeah. What @ThomasFremont said. Noble savages are cool AF and clean up after they massacre shit. Man belongs to the earth and all that.

    Most are mentally unstable so much so that they now have a mental halth clinician that rides with police a couple day a week. You can't get crazy to be sane. 99% will turn down any help or shelters. They can't roll their "belongings" into a shelter either. trust me you never want to see their precious belongings.
