Residents in Portland, Oregon are resorting to selling their homes to escape the worsening homeless crisis, as more encampments pop up in residential neighborhoods.
Homeless encampments have grown severely in certain neighborhoods in North Portland, particularly along the Peninsula Crossing Trail.
The trail was once a popular bike route but has become home to a large population of homeless people including some who suffer from mental illness and some who use drugs.
One realtor in the area said that she's seen a surge of residents moving to the suburbs over the past two years.
'Most people don’t want to have to worry about if they can leave their car parked in their driveway overnight without maybe having it broken into,' Lauren Iaquinta told KGW8.
The real estate broker said it's a 'testy subject,' and said the issue can be unpredictable due to homeless people settling down wherever they want.

Now the eleventy billionaires can get prime real estate for cheap, then they can clean out the riff raff
And they’re so glad that they voted to legalize marijuana. ;)
People who vote Rat shouldn’t be allowed to leave.
agreed
Confirmation: Karma’s a bitch.
Those who voted DemonRat created it. Which is probably most of them.
Gallon jug (or 5 gallon bucket, depending upon the quantity desired), milk, water, (urine, too, if you’re truly a badass) & salad shrimp.
Let percolate in hot sun for several days, strain and deliver via sprayer from pickup bed. Warning: Wear a paint respirator with new charcoal filters.
Very useful poured at the top of the hood/bottom of the windshield when getting even, too.
Friendly advice: Transport in a spill-proof container with no leaks and spray from a pickup you can pressure wash (bed).
Good point. You’re right. They wouldn’t even notice the stench.
The homeowners should initiate a class action lawsuit against the city, including the City Council.
It is a drug crisis because they legalized most drugs...idiots!!!!
I remember Rush talking about that. He knew how to report on things like that and make it fun.
See my #28.
Damn, that’s good....
As I read your post I chuckled and chuckled and by the time I got to the end I was laughing. It got better and better with your descriptions. LMAO!!
That’s just a sign of good urban planning. The homeless are notorious bike thieves.
Bfl
“Who the hell is going to BUY these homes?? I feel for these people they are STUCK!!”
Large investment firms. Then they’ll rent them out with diversity in mind.
Yeah sure was fun doing all that virtue signaling while they were voting for all of those progressive city officials til suddenly it was them getting the big stiff one up their backside. Suddenly they want the city to do something!!!
“Homeless” = ‘Rats
Just wait until the Illegals hit town in big numbers.
Chain up a couple of pit bulls out in the yard.
I will tell you who.
The developers. They’ll move in and snap up those places at a small percent of the value.
Then they will pay off the scum in the city government to remove ALL the homeless and then develop the whole place and make a mint.
