So ban the daytime camps but the nighttime camps are ok?? I am confused.

[Grampa Dave]

So where are these homeless losers going to go if banned in the daytime?

[uranium penguin]

I would bet businesses and retailers are trying to stop it from going full San Francisco.

And trying to make it at least possible for these companies to survive during daylight hours.

[Right Brother]

"Homeless people would need to clear their camps every morning by 8 a.m., picking up all their belongings and trash before they could settle down again at 8 p.m., according to the proposal."

I'm sure that this would work, considering how responsible the homeless are.

[glorgau]

It’s a baby step back towards normalcy.

[dfwgator]

Good luck with all that.

[moovova]

Why not just between the hours of 10-2pm?

[gundog]

It all began, long ago, with “Dignity Village.”

[bobbo666]

If confused you’ve not been paying attention to the rampant stupidity and corruption in Portland. The mayor is an idiot. Makes BeijingBiden seem sensible.

[VanShuyten]

So…. who’s Portland going to hire to enforce this? Does anyone think the Portland PD will be able to clear 50,000 people every morning? Are they going to jail all the bums, loons and druggies who don’t comply and seize all their junk?

[unclebankster]

They’re getting tougher on the homeless in the Portlandia Thunderdome. It has taken them awhile to see the light.

Every six months I tour the area and have notice that the bums are being run out of many areas they like to frequent.

Basically the liberals that ‘run’ the city are being forced to take action or risk the consequences of increasing amounts of vigilantism.

“Homeless people would need to clear their camps every morning by 8 a.m...”

LOLOLOL - they’re still stoned out of their minds and will be zoned out until past noon. I see 0% compliance with this.

[PGR88]

They need to make a law, banning something which is already illegal.

[1of10]

you said ..” I am confused.”

It's simple really.....
Let me explain ..
All the “unhoused” will simply wake up at 6:00
They will then have breakfast, shave and brush their tooth.
At 7:00 they will begin gathering their sleeping bags,tents,shopping carts, eye phones, old tires, broken stolen bicycles, wooden pallets, piles of extra garbage, and drug paraphernalia.
At 8:00 they will all proceed in an orderly fashion to their assigned intersection where they will faithfully display their “I am poor ..don't you feel guilty sign” until they have squeezed the price of a good high from passerbys.
At that time they will begin their orderly migration to the next designated evening camp.
Have dinner and in engage in some good rowdy fun fellowship.
At 9:00 it's lights out for a good nights sleep.

.... what could possibly go wrong...?

[goodnesswins]

Ashland is supposedly doing this...my hub sent an email to Wheeler months ago about trying this.

[cgbg]

Proposal:

“picking up all their belongings and trash”

That is dead on arrival. Homeless people just don’t do that.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Portland considers banning daytime homeless camps to address ‘humanitarian catastrophe

So who's going to enforce this toothless ban they're considering? Portland led the efforts to "Defund The Police", and they're scrambling to find enough people willing to work in their police department.

There are no piecemeal solutions for leftist stupidity. Either you stop leftist stupidity or you don't.

[gathersnomoss]

....they only come out at night.

[LS]

“Mulling”
“Considers”
“thinks about”
“Plans to”
“May”
“Might”
“Could”

Again, these articles now make up 90% of “news” about supposedly actions.

I am “mulling, considering, thinking about, planning, intending to” win a Pulizer.

[crazyhorse691]

Portland already has a police shortage and now apparently a severe lack of intelligence amongst their politicians.

[yldstrk]

USA needs to start residential treatment facilities for the mentally ill, get them off the streets. That will solve a lot of the problem. It is hideous that USA and the fifty states allow the mentally ill to live homeless and under bridges. Hideous.
