    Can't do anything because Reagan

    Are you sure it isn't Lincoln's fault?

    Legalizing drug use made the problem worse. All of these camps are filled with stolen materials. Enforce the law. And yes, if that means locking up homeless people then do it. There is no right to live on the streets, and commit crimes and do drugs.

    I listened to an editor from the W-Weekly and I was actually quite surprised with his take on the whole PDX homeless camp problem. The dude was to the Right of Lars Larson on this. They have a piece out now. We have laws against illegal chop shops but somehow the homeless have them set up and no one cares.
    Public dumping, fires, stolen materials, there are any number of violations that you could be citing and prosecuting these homeless camps for. I don't have a problem using the jail system to incarcerate and institutionalize these people.

    If you were a PDX homeowner and you decided to use your front yard as a garbage dump, how long before the fines start mounting and the city moves to declare your place a public health hazard?

    You have homeless camps here where the garbage is just flowing down hillsides and nothing is done. Imagine the rats around these places. There have been seven homeless people who have burned to death when their place went up in flames. I've seen some shit driving through PDX and I just SMH.

    "Which PDX camp do you live in?" would be a great Duck Refuge poll.

    Haie can't help his obsession with Oregon. He's childlike in that way.

    The thing about the "Boise decision" - they don't have much if any FILTH in Boise.

    They dealt with their problem, built the right amount of shelter spaces and (in Idaho) don't give their filth free shit.

    It's really quite simple. Quit giving filth free shit and they'll move to where the free shit is best.


    Go from Post Falls/CDA to Spokane and see the difference in FILTH in less than 30 minutes.
