I said before that I wondered how they afforded some of those tents. I know how much a lot of them cost and they are expensive. You are looking at $250. tents in some of these pics. Honestly one could by an old pop up camper for that money.
Glamping on the public plan . . .

HAHAHAHAHA!!
Ted Wheeler! How does he have any credibility.
Homeless rights vs disabled rights....Suddenly,the dems haven’t heard of the ADA....
The money would have been better spent on a couple of those scoop trucks from Soylent Green.
“but kept basically no record of who got the supplies or where they were set up.”
Yep. Probably at most 25% of the money went to tents and tarps. 2million divided by 22000 is $90 per tent. You can get a 3 man tent for $35 at Walmart.
Libtards ripped off the taxpayers and broke federal disability laws.
What a swell bunch of morons
bkmk
Heck, that’s less than 91.00 dollars per “tent”. (2,000,000.00 / 22,000)
Seems like I can only get a tarp - but nothing more than that - for 91.00 in today’s inflation under Biden. No ropes, no ties, no zippers.
Tents must have been purchased using military specifications:
No shorter than 4’ 4 3/8” and no taller than 4’ 11 5/16”
At least three windows no smaller than 12 square feet (ie: 3’ x 4’) with appropriate insect netting using weather resistant, non-petroleum based material, which will prevent incursion of insects smaller than 1/16th a square inch. Said netting shall not harm or kill said insects. Window shall have a closable cover sufficient to provide privacy and be resistant to rain, snow, sunshine and winds up to 350 mph.
Flooring shall . . .
The legacy of the accidental Governor Kate Brown. This is all recent under her watch. Legalized drugs. Basically outlawed guns. Worst graduation rates. Covid lockdowns. exploding homelessness and crime. Antifa.
The only thing bums should be given is a one-way bus ticket to anywhere but the west coast.
Remind me of the current CASTE SYSTEM in America? It seems to change daily.

Here is an update to this story:
“Class Action ADA Suit Forces Portland to Clear Sidewalks of Homeless Camps”
“The City of Portland, Oregon, will be required to clear its sidewalks of sprawling homeless camps under terms of a lawsuit tentatively settled this week.
Filed in September, the federal class action lawsuit alleged that the city violated the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 by allowing tent camps and debris to obstruct sidewalks. The plaintiffs included nine people with disabilities who use wheelchairs, scooters, canes, and walkers to get around.”

They didn’t just buy the tents. They set up empty tents to attract “homeless” to certain areas.
