Portland, Oregon has been fighting a homeless epidemic for years. Recently the people have had enough and have decided to outlaw street camping. This has been going on for a few months now and in this video, we will look at the progress. Next video we will look at the neighborhoods around Oaks Park

The tents are gone…but so are the businesses.

The one thing I noticed in your video and noticed being down there in person last Fall for a concert, a lot of the mom and pop businesses are permanently shuttered already. The damage is done to the working class. It really saddened me because I grew up watching, from just across the WA border, how hard everyone in Portland worked back in the eighties to clean up and revitalize the downtown. Everyone from the politicians to individuals within the community chipped in. They made a lot of sacrifices and paid a lot of excess money in tax to build infrastructure and pay for extra police. They made it happen, but then in one year the current government in that area undid all their hard work. Even if they do get it cleaned up again, all the old blocks formerly populated by family-owned businesses will get bought up by developers. It will never be the same. There will be no place for working-class families, much like Seattle. Maybe that's what the politicians wanted all along.

I live in NE Portland and all they have done is pushed the homeless out into the suburbs. The problem has not gone away.

All the same homeless people are still out there Being homeless, they just move to other areas of town, lmao

I was homeless for a couple of months in Evansville Indiana. I'm not anymore, I'm working and have my own place again. I don't know about Portland, but here, mental illness is a huge problem among the homeless

Multnomah County government purchased more than 22, 000 tents and more than 69, 000 tarps for the homeless over the past two years. for 6, 500 homeless

Go .5 miles out in any direction, you'll find the tent cities. They've moved into residential neighborhoods.

They cleaned up the down town, but homeless everywhere in East side. It was scary when I visited the area last month. Why you think homeless disappeared just because Portland outlawed. They just moved to outskirts.

[geoffdbirds]

Portland is getting rid of the homeless but they're sending them out to the rural communities now because where I live in Newberg Oregon we're seeing more more of them

[justincase]

I have to admit Portland has done a good job cleaning up the "targeted areas". The problem is they're moving to every empty space they can find. They're not removing them they are shuffling them. The city shouldn't have let this happen in the first place. I appreciate your enthusiasm for Portland, but the politics need to change to make things great again. No more free stuff.

The drug decriminalization drew some homeless too. I'm a Libertarian, so I don't think drugs should be illegal, but you can't have that Libertarian stance while not prosecuting actual crimes like shoplifting, assault, defacating in public...etc. Anything that infringes on other's rights and freedoms needs to still be illegal.

He's not lying. I'm a truck driver regional and me and my wife walked through a Chinatown. When it was at its worst, we weren't worried but you could definitely smell it and see it. The homeless were nice to people pass and through, but their presence will still very well-known.

People are being priced out of Portland and most other places by corporate fees. Wages have stagnated, rents continue to rise, "corporate investors" keep buying up more of the real estate. None of this is sustainable but the wealthiest among us don't care as long as they have another Tesla. There is literally no consideration for your fellow human. Hey, but if it looks good, it must be fixed right?

[craigdeming]

Don't mean jack if the businesses have all left or gone broke. It's curtains baby, ain't no curtain call!

[GG-ktuk]

I ❤️ Portland!!! So good to see this. I watched a video where outreach group was offering the homeless housing and rehab. Only 1 person agreed to get off the street. So it was time to make it illegal. Thank you for the video!

[darrinshort]

Thank you for the great job of filming and narrating this video very detailed blocked by block explanation of the incremental improvements. I don’t think anyone does this better so nice to see Portland heading in this direction.

[dyske-]

I traveled across the country last year, and Portland was my favorite city. People are so compassionate. I'm glad it's getting better. Thank you for making this video.

[NightmareNeighborsInThe]

I miss my dear Portland. Late nights running around from club to club and just having fun. I know things change but it's just lost it's vibe.

[MarkRVillano]

I fail to understand why or how they plan on enforcing this new law when they've made it abundantly clear to the residents of Portland that the laws may be freely ignored without consequence.

[kevdiggidydowg]

Great to hear! I had a brief stint in PDX from March 2021 - Oct 2022 and I must say that Portland kinda made me rethink my home. I had first visited in 2012 and that’s what made me fall in love with it. Hope it’s going back to that same old kind of place.
