Dozens of Portland firefighters battled a blaze at a former tavern that neighbors say had been taken over by squatters for more than a year.
"It was clearly a time bomb waiting to go off, and our concerns fell through the cracks," Dusty McCord, who lives near the former Farmer's Barn Tavern, told The Oregonian. "The level of negligence is breathtaking."

Portland is just another Democrat crap hole like so many others. Stupid is as stupid does.
The article doesn’t say how the complainer, Dusty McCord, votes.

Now that the homeless have lost their home, where are they going to live...or something like that?
If a lowlife moved into Tiffany's Jewelry Store security guards would remove the person at closing... they wouldn't have to get an eviction notice and fight the scum for months.
New laws need to be written and soon...

Happens all the time. Homeless, bums, drug addicts; start fires indoors for cooking and warmth. And crap gets burned down. They don’t care and just move on to the next one and do it again.
