A brand new studio apartment in Portland is 1,500 a month .
And how much of that $700 million goes into the pockets of government bureaucrats as generous salaries, grants to advocacy organizations to pay their executive salaries and other bureaucratic and NGO expenses? How much goes to illegals? How much goes to US citizens who could work but don’t? And what is the remainder that actually goes to homeless people who can’t work and need the money?
Administrative costs.
What6 did they say in the baseball movie? Build it and they will come?
That is peanuts compared to Seattle. Homeless spending is into the Billions, and has been for a few years.
“Homelessness spending at all levels — federal down to local — topped $700 million for the Portland metro area”
Sounds like the government is getting its money’s worth as there are PLENTY of homeless in Portland.
1.8 billion here in Mass in the last 2 years.
This is about building Democratic party infrastructure, some physical buildings but mostly human resources and agencies and union employees with lifetime salaries, followed by generous pensions, and all topped with party loyalty, and city government and political influence.
Find the issue and within a generation or two we will have a vast bureaucracy created out of it and tenacles of power widely dispersed and dug in.
The Leviathan that is the Homeless Industrial Complex is smiiiiiiiiling from ear to ear. The larger the homeless population, the larger the Homeless Industrial Complex, and the larger the salaries of all the Complex workers who caaaaare about...... well......themselves.
If they’re homeless what is the 700bb spent on? Certainly not billions for tents and utilities.
Portland metro area population in 2025 is around 675,000. Makes the cyphering easy.
It takes a lot of money feed and house the human race.
ZPG Now !!!!!

Homelessness has become an industry that billions are being pumped into that proliferates and expands homelessness. The “administrative costs” is the euphemism for bushels of money that are going into the pockets of promoters that are getting unimaginably rich and who realize that keeping people homeless is paramount to their wealth and success. Like the money being poured into the high speed railroad in California that depends on the project must never be completed, the homelessness industry relies on never running out of homeless people. That’s why more money just fuels the problem, ad infinitum.
