As one of the nation’s leading laughing stocks of far left policy, Portland is doing its normal Portland thing and now proposing a mandate that would force developers to provide “resting areas” for the homeless on private property.
As one of the nation’s leading laughing stocks of far left policy, Portland is doing its normal Portland thing and now proposing a mandate that would force developers to provide “resting areas” for the homeless on private property.
Willamette Week reports:
If a majority of the Portland Planning and Sustainability Commission has its way, new private buildings downtown will be required to include spaces where houseless Portlanders can “rest,” which could include sleeping and pitching tents.
“The heart of the issue is that we have increasing housing costs and we cannot support all of the people who live here now and are going to live here in the future,” says Oriana Magnera, the planning commissioner who pushed hardest to include the new language.

Start with this Commissions private houses.
Chaise lounges, free WiFi, free access to the internet and local pharmacies and markets..
Mobile gedunkmobiles catering to their culinary persuasions..
Ahhh Portland,, You can lead but I seriesly wonder how taxpayers can continue to swallow, so disruptive is the stench.
I think Portland will soon see many from CA. Moving North.
And then that same government agency will fine building owners for not renting out offices so the city can get taxes off their business.
The Leftist absurdities grow by the day!
Democrat bastion of Oregon. Just what they need: more social diversification.
“leading laughing stocks of far left policy”
Who is laughing? This crpp is downright appalling.
“The heart of the issue is that we have increasing housing costs....”
And WE (the Left) cannot dare admit that OUR POLICIES have been participants in the causes of higher housing costs in Portland, so instead of attacking the real problem - US (the Leftists in Portland) - we will pretend again we have “solutions” and we will enforce them (though they will do nothing about the homeless problems in Portland). We have trained the sheeple in Portland to never look back on our past failed policies when we are proposing new, bound to fail policies.
Is this the Babylon Bee, or is this real? This sounds too far out there to be real.
You aren’t going to need new buildings, people are going to move away.
Surely the dear lady who is pushing for this must have room in her home for a cot or two.
These are just more dominoes falling from loss of faith in God and the assault on the family by divorce, feminism, the Federal Reserve, the media/entertainment complex, and public education.
They will exempt themselves, of course.
And they will quickly discover that it is no better there.
They’re gonna need water and warm showers. And electric hookups for charging their smartphones.
Like the Travelers in the UK who park wherever they want; school playgrounds, community pitches for sports, anywhere they want and cops can’t do thing one about it.
So glad my daughter came to her senses and moved back to AZ. She lasted exactly 1 year in the nut house known as Portland.

The Housing Shortage in Profile: Construction in Oregon dropped to the lowest level since World War IINow all these people fleeing California are going to just skip right over Oregon and Washington and land here in Idaho. Just what we need.
