4pm is when it starts getting really hot. I'm so sick of these fake non proffits for profit.
All state sponsored programs are based upon creating victims and solving the problem. This is their business model. Courts work the same way. Cause the problem then get overtime “solving it”. Not good. All on the tax cattle dime
too hot, too cold.
these people are too damaged, environment be damned.
@@philosophyofcarry most got that way thru capitalistic manipulation. And I as a once, hard working taxpaying consumer got what everyone else got,,, hosed with junk products that don't last till the final payment, or in the motgage housing debacel manipulation of 2007-08 bundeled and sold titles too other legalized extortiinist on wall street or some other continent. These things didn't happen to me, my eyes were wide open and skeptical, still are today at 68! These slime balls,, ruined good people, not suckers and need a good going fist in the kisser. Done that and paid the price!
Force people to be out when it’s the hottest - blame climate change. They’ve got it all figured out. The government will never end homelessness, they only make it worse.
Have you noticed how the news this year is blowing up the summer heat like it’s never been this hot before, and it’s an emergency?
@@TVHouseHistorianSummer has become an emergency lol.
@@MUUKOW3 They’re trying to get people on the climate change bandwagon using fear mongering. Probably hoping it will help steer the November election in the direction they want it.
Closing at 4:00 is crazy, that is when the heat is at its hottest.😢
And the Soy Boy Knows It,🌭🍕👨👦💃🌶🐩🍆🍩...
@@msmoe8687 agreed. Some working homeless, trying to catch a break,, they dont get off till 4:30
Worthless Wheeler won’t have to worry about this issue much longer.
The Only Thing That Queeler Cares About Is his Next Gay time Encounter With his Stable Of Soy Boys,🍆🍩💃👨👦🌭🐩...
Tina thanks your doing a worse job than kate.
She did hire her husband on a 10k salary per month right Tina? oh nm
Most of these people would be inside somewhere if the rent wasn't twice as high as it should be.. the rental industry has lost its mind and is completely out of touch with reality when it comes to our current economic situation. We need to protest these rental companies and real estate companies.. and encourage them to get the prices down
They need to be charged and convicted of; market manipulation and fraud! But that won't happen cause good people have no Bar license and they and the ledgislative branch are the very one's who own and profit from the rentals they aquired on the County Cout house steps at auction.
@@edwinlipton well we need to see what we can do then.. because this needs to end.. this is affecting everybody.. is pulling our whole economy down.. probably what might work is find the names of the owners of these apartment complexes.. the people not the agencies.. and publicize their name.. I can definitely. Build a TH-cam post about that
@@johnellis3309 a full accurial independant accounting of funds spent on thee so called "claimed", rehab/ fresh start measure might be a good starting point. I say this cause I don't see where the testimony of the city appealing the U.S. Supreme court ruling was decided. Basically they claim,, they offered individuals shelter and help but they refused it. Where is the actual accounting proving such statement?
@@johnellis3309 where are these; taxpayer funded shelters of rehab located?
@@johnellis3309 the only shelters I believe this appealate person had in mind was a lock up jail,, or move on!
Smart, if for no other reason than this kind of heat brings out hot tempers. I can only imagine the increased conflict between city workers (police, clean-up crews, etc.) and homeless folks during this extreme heat.
There’s always something that gets in the way of clearing out these massive encampments. COVID, court decisions, and now the summer heat. Portland is stuck with these un-housed drug addicts that they’ve tolerated and coddled for so many years.
Next, it’ll be fall rains, then winter temps. They’re here because they’re allowed to be.
How can you get housing in the city if your homeless? Who do you react out to? Actually kinda curious to know if anybody has an answer.
You can always go to jail if you don't like it.
If You are An Illegal New Cummer, Then No Problems,💃💃💃🌶🍆🍩🌭🍡👨👦🍕...
You can't. Even HUD has become a corrupt branch of Gov. They have funding ever year,, but we the public are lied too, put on a list, told when your number comes up in a few years,," if your still alive and contactable" they'll be in touch. The funds,, before the fiscal budget year ends,, is spent or they lose next years allocation, it's spent on new hires, training camps and seminars in the Caymen Islands and,,, annual bonus's and pay raises.
@@mr.monitor. you can try too put me there IF YOU LIKE IT!
Are you from Portland?
Mediocracy causes weakness persuant in times of excess empathy which results in failure.
Excuses excuses. How about bussing them to a cooler climate?
“You’re not welcome”
It’s called sleeping in an appropriate spot like people have done in all human history. Find someplace cool, comfortable, and with all the amenities that you need to participate in society in a health safe way. If the city wants to spend what it’s spent do it towards a real society with a real economy where people can buy and rent the basic plots that they are taking already.
People can't just decide to sleep where ever they want. People with disabilities are not able to get around because of these people blocking the sidewalks.
@@victoryforvictims3522 wowww! You must think this country began and progressed at your arrival. Got news for ya,, planet was here long before you. Many tried too own and rule it,, they died, left and it's STILL HERE!
@@anthonygross1963 Some of these people, fought and became discarded trash, so you could feel free to trash them? What have YOU sacrificed oh worthy one?
SATAN DOESN’T NEED YOUR DEFENSE WE DID TRAITOR
Move homeless shelters away from downtown. Places like the Northwest warehouse district would be fine.
We have enough of them over here already.
@@aboutface102 you got the money doing quite well I assume,,, pay to move um.
It's those like yourselves that see the problem,, and want someone else to fix it.
What you fail to understand,, those who would be jailed for lack of money to pay those fines,, will over crowed taking up space for the violent offenders,, build more jails you say,, hire more staff too watch over them? It'll be seen on YOUR property TAXES!
@@edwinlipton I just said move the homeless services to a location away from downtown. Clean up downtown and make it safe and welcoming for tax paying citizens.
Think thats perfectly needed indeed.
But,, these tent cities don't need to be moved, they need real transition into worth while lives. Something like what Portland did, but more to curb a return to the streets.
I understandably see the filth, and empty souls, drugged out waundering from place to place everytime I go into Klamath Falls, Medford or other small cities. I have lived in Seattle as a kid, left in 67-68 to Alb, New Mexico. Went thru Portland in 2022 as was shocked by the number of tarps used for shelters along the freeway in downtown, the graphitte sprayed over pass's. Reminds me of my many travels from S.E. NM to Texas along I-10 north of the cardboatd cities in Juareze Mexico. Heart breaking back then. The U.S. prints us into debt too fund far away conflicts and wars. Surely we could spend our time fixing the cause of this without printing more debt by passing laws against price gouging.
I am not for handouts by no means. In fact, there is no learned value in them, no appreciation. And in reality, it's a good lesson about making spur of the moment decisions without for thought. Electing wrong leadership just so you can have legalised pot or safe meth house's does not make an un qualified candidate,, qualified too lead a State. Seems to me the States that did all the legalizations,, have the highest numbers of non workable homeless population's.
I could be wrong,, I drink too much, I know it. But when young, did drugs, pot and drank! To many good days were lost in my foolishness and to many costly visits to the jail house.
Now 68,, I moderate my alcohol consumption in the confines of home. No pot, no drugs. Drugs, even alcohol cause more of these problems than young minds believe.
Portland 🗑️🗑️🗑️
If the temporary shelter is listed as a 501c charity,, and there overhead is 98% of funding to keep it open, paid for the entire 12 month calender year, but empty,, WHY?? I'tell ya why. It keeps them in a shadow buisness effectively eligiable for continued funding. Empty shelters?? Thats not non-profit CHARITY in my taxpaying eyes. It's a tax Shelter for the quite able non employable charity workers to have the niceities without work or charitable sacrifice. THEY HAVE A HOME!,, Bought and paid for by the U.S. taxpayer.
If I'm right,,, give me a thumbs up. If wrong,, exsplain it too me.
gov gov, depending on its contractor friends, was going to close a most-vulnerable population shelter closed from june to march '25, then demolish but currently it's from sept to march, AND NO REPLACEMENT.
Nonprofits still have to pay employees. Large salaries and personal expenses written off though the business is usually where most of the money goes. Maybe it's 98% of what's left AFTER they pay themselves.
@@crushedorchids don't hire them. You wouldn't let anyone take candy from your own child,, but youd burden them with taxes to pay for your employment? Get a meaningful job if your after your own desires,, other wise spend my dollars fully on those you say your willing too sacrifice for.
@@crushedorchids your Over paying them,, does not justly define CHARITY! Besides,, numbers don't lie,,, but people do figure.
When I said thee unemployables,, I was not referring to the homeless,, I was refering too those so called; sacrifical lambs of great giving, the holders of those funded 501c holders,, sorry for any confusion there.
Good Lord, any excuse.
Well thats nice of you. How much did this 3% charity cost our next generation taxpayers earnings? Pretty sorry bunch.
The true meaning of ; "Charity",, is actually a; giveing without exspectation of recieveing! 97% percent for overhead exspense is not a non profit in my book. My two cents.
INDOOR PEOPLE
OUTDOOR PEOPLE
