No doubt he voted exactly for this, he just didn't expect it in his own backyard.
As a typical liberal he wanted it in someone else's back yard.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Same here, now I do not have to respond.
A wise man once said “STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES “ and dam if this man wasn’t CORRECT!!! It’s just that we are seeing this WAY TO MUCH LATELY!!!
@@david-ul5mg
Lol🤣A conservative in Portland, you're too funny!....A conservative would have to go through decontamination even after just passing through Portland in a car, It's avoided at all cost by all conservatives because it's nothing but a toilet anymore.
But anyhow, that's the exact reason that Portland Oregon is the cesspool it is today, because you don't call the police on shit.......Careful where you step~
As a FORMER Portland resident, I can confirm, they voted for this....
My thoughts exactly🤦♂️💯
At every opportunity.
They voted for homeless ppl
democrat every year.
@@Notme-tq4xs do u live in a democratic state
She’s not a camper. She’s a squatter. It looks more like a public park than a yard.
democrat mayor disagrees with you.
she is a trespasser
@@david-ul5mg waaahhhh... trimming trees does not destroy trees. Tough love is compassionate. You are toxic.
@@david-ul5mg How many homeless people have you housed?
@@david-ul5mg,dude PAID for the property! He can do anything he wants with it! It BELONGS TO HIM!
It’s insane a simple call to police couldn’t resolve this quickly. It’s not like this person was a tenant. They were an intruder on his private property!!!
Oh, he votes democrat, so who cares?
Yes, but even the cops know well that HE and his neighbors are the type who voted for policies and politicians who condone this homelessness behavior
the Dems are now globalists who dont want anyone to own anything
all this chaos is to bring their reset across the world
Tresspasser
The problem that we in law enforcement have with this issue is that our leaders (Mayors, Governor, and other government officials) will not allow us to enforce the laws.
Democrats are the most compassionate people I have ever met.
As long as it doesn't involve THEIR property.
trumplicans are the most compassionate people I have ever met.
As long as it doesn’t involve a live breathing person.
@@david-ul5mgwith other people's property and money
Enable & coddle.
@@david-ul5mg How many have YOU taken into your home?
@@david-ul5mg BS. Show us the image of them on your property.
Compassion is the reason these criminals are there in the first place. This homeowner most likely supported these policies until it happened on his plot of land.
yep yep
Guaranteed
Supported what "policies"?
@@PapagenoMF Sanctuary city where ALL are welcome. Not enforcing basic laws such as trespassing, loitering. Democrats did this to them.
Yep, it's "compassion," not the economy.
Dude was a LOT more tolerant than I woild have been.
This is hilarious. They’re lucky she didn’t move into their house not only that, he has money. He’s completely unaware of what the average person is dealing with. The police won’t help them
8/10/23...NICE CAMPER FEMALE should have moved her tent ⛺️ up on his nice back sundeck while he + wife were "out of town ".....
AND INVITED HER OTHER CAMPING BUDDIES TO JOIN HER!
How do you define average because average in my world equals living in a place that I pay for?
He called himself a compassionate person.
I like how you think, Debby Lou! He has an acre or more of land, and thinks anybody who doesn't is a drug addict.
So its FINALLY hitting the rich neighborhoods 😂 Now Wheeler will take action. This has been happening in the middle/lower class neighborhoods for years.
Yep, the homeless and drug crisis will eventually reach the rich gated communities and that's when maybe they'll finally do something. Right now rich Democrats don't seem to care about the working class, they only care about protecting transgender rights and abortion clinics. The Republicans only care about the super rich.
"Campers!" That's like calling the wholesale store robbers "Consumers."
Witty
I’m just thankful this doesn’t affect the politicians and government workers. I would hate for them to lose sleep.
I remember sitting in my living room, around 1978, watching the Phil Donahue show, and he announced with great pride he was filming in beautiful Portland, Oregon. Sad place now in 2023.
Society is only as good as what it tolerates.
If I wake up to someone camping in my backyard and the cops won’t do anything, I’ll handle it myself. If you can trespass, I have the right to evict.
He didn't even know there was someone there. He couldn't be bothered to actually walk his own property.
@@floridaviolets9601 So now if you own a piece of property you have to guard it like its an Army base? Maybe they can run some constantine wire next time.
@@floridaviolets9601

Unfortunately, we all have to have it. Rules are rules.
@@BGGJr. Welcome to the new USA land of the used to be
The Portland voters brought this upon themselves
I agree, no sympathy.
Betcha that guy voted for it too
Yeah, we voted to let landlords raise prices ridiculously, we voted for the city and county to twiddle their thumbs for years while drug use increased, we voted for the city and county to totally ignore mentally ill people...right!
@@Raymond_PetitThat's what happens when people vote yes on all new taxes.
@allouttabubblegum1984 that comment makes no sense! You utterly failed at trying to be clever!
Jeff was way too nice when first encountered the trespasser.
I can tell being around homeless people, that's something he's never saw too often, hence the reason he was so nice and lenient
@@user-bj2uz4qk7syou got something against I'll people who get zero help for their illness, right-wing - nut?
She was Jeff's side piece...not a problem till the wife found out
He just seems to be pleasantly surprised and amused by the whole thing.
Nice = Weak. What a pathetic person.
I worked for an Albanian property manager in New York, and he explained how they make it work. They have a big extended clan, and one of them is the designated bruiser who uses force to drive bums away. Then there are other relatives whose job is bail bondsman for the clan. If a bum shows up, that bum will have a mysterious "accident" and be "persuaded" to leave. If one of the clan has to throw punches and gets arrested, they have a lawyer on retainer. So if Albanians or Macedonians, or Greeks move into these properties, the "homeless" will start to disappear.
Reminds me of my lawyer. Good guy. If you want to meet a lot of kind Albanian, Macedonian, and Greek folks come to Detroit. I know some nice people.
Good Albanian tough!
You know why this doesn’t happen to the politicians, because they live in plush gated communities, with private security, they don’t have to deal with the consequences of their actions. My advice to this guy is think about that next election.
Well who would you vote for to stop homelessness lol. Come on share.
We have homeless in Florida,99% of them take to the woods.
he looks like he votes democrat each year regardless
@@Notme-tq4xs Thats better than voting for ignorant MAGATs
We have tons of homeless in Florida. U wanna blame the liberals in Florida too, lol. Gtfo with that nonsense.
You get what you vote for
I voted for trump look what I got!!!!!!basement joe.
She probably felt safer back there.
I dont feel sorry for this man. I feel sorry for all of us that our society has failed so badly. 😢❤
Our society has been made to fail by woke is for loser policies.
Things don't fail for no reason.
I have 20 acres of trees and one day I found a homeless tent on my property. I called the sheriff and I told him I was going to run over the tent with my logging skidder. He said "No don't do that" but he told me when no one was around, you could move the tent off of your property. So early one rainy morning I did just that. I then put signs up and of course they have been taken down since then, so I piled a bunch of brush and logs there to stop this nonsense, and A few days later I noticed his stuff had been pickup. Never did confront this person. But this resident is right, you got to step up and do this yourself, or you will be run over and taken advantage of,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Technically you could have run over the tent because the intruder is trespassing on your private property. Never listen or take an officers advice as they are dumb and dont even know the laws they are enforcing. 😂
@@hostilesavage4299 you’re right Hitler.
@@david-ul5mg That's why I use railroad flares. Keep the carbon footprint to a minimum and I don't disturb the spotted owls.
The amount of hostility towards homeless people tells me how sick this Society is. People are literally talking about somebody finding a little spot to themselves and the owner of the abundance of land didn't even notice they were there and some of you people are trying to justify ways to murder them for it. This entire side of the argument is disgusting.
I understand the hostility. You wouldn’t let some random stranger in your house so why should they be allowed on your property? A lot of these people have mental problems too. I’m not saying everyone who’s homeless has issues, but I’ve noticed a lot do. They could be murderers themselves who knows? That said, these people need help and sneaking into someone’s back yard who might have children around, starting fires and doing all that weird stuff is not the right way to get help. I feel for these people, truly but that’s just asking for something to happen.
I work in retail in Hawaii with Tourists. Almost every time I meet a visitor from Portland, they say "well we're from Portland, but we really don't want to admit it. They explain that the city is pretty much( now) only famous or well known for the homeless, crime, and drug problems there.😔
Ikr I h8 Portland.
They had a 6 month long leftist insurrection leaving a good portion of the city destroyed. Hundreds of millions in destruction. But ... they votes for it.
They should say they voted democrat for years and we got the results.
I'm from Tampa. We have soooo many more drugs here. And we are catching up on the homeless. Just let our house prices and homeowners insurance rates go up a bit more and we will be all caught up to Portland.
@@floridaviolets9601 Who runs the City council in Tampa? I live in Gainesville and I can tell you, we have a way worse homeless problem than I have even seen in Orlando or Jax. It can all be pointed right back to the city government not enforcing laws and underfunding the police (Just guess what party runs the city). Gainesville PD is 80 officers below what they should be at because of bad leadership, low pay, and a city government who ignores the homeless and out of control petty theft (car break ins are a constant here).
My first question for this homeowner would be how do you vote, Left or Right? Because based on everything I see going on in Portland you get what you vote for.
There's no way that guy was conservative.
Thats a very naive and misinformed comment
Well of course the crazy conservatives would solve the houseless and drug problems lickity-split! Just like that alternative to universal health care they NEVER came up with.
@sirfartyfartsalot9896 he's most likely a fake progressive.
Its a pain in the ass when we got unrully ppl invading our property, dont mean to be incompassionate, but theyre completely strangers, its like having dangers near or inside your own home, my family once encountered with these kind of ppl many yrs ago and i was literally scared, very uncomfortable cause theyre near the front yard and they can watch our every activity, we had to call the authority to make them leave..
Do what you got to do for the sake of your family and your own safety, and to stand your land.
And they don't ask for permission, they steal your land and who knows what else.
Love thy neighbor.
Enjoy what you embraced.
So, how many homeless people do you house, educated, and pay for all of their health care? You left that part out of your quip.
@@williamramey1959 First of all it's not educated, it is educate. Sounds like you need a bit.
Second, I don't to have to worry about it because I don't live in a messed up state like Oregon. Yes, I have been there for a month, not by choice. What a dump. Congrats on your politicians. Looks to be working out well.
@@williamramey1959your sarcasm detector is broken.
First rule is you never ever ever call the police. Hece nothing will ever get done. You have to take matters into your own hands
So if I don't like something that you're doing, I can hurt you until you stop doing it? Cool. Let's go
How do you deal with someone who has nothing to lose?
Yessir fight crazy with crazy pretty much. It's a proven tactic on nutty folks. Cheers
The police in Portland are following orders from dem leaders. The 6 month long leftist insurrection proved thar.
Even when you call the police they don’t come out. These homeless are right next to our complex and they busted two windows and stole a car the other night. Not one police officer showed up! Take it into your own hands and deal with it because nobody will help you.
👏👏👏 Give this Portland, Oregon resident a hand for really walking the walk by supporting the “unhoused” and literally taking one home and providing a space for them to live. If more Portland residents did this homelessness would be a thing of the past. Keep voting the way you do Portland. Go Mayor Ted. 👍👍
Please stay in Oregon. Hopefully the San Andrea's fault will take out all the soulless people in the west coast.🙏🙏🙏🙂
@@theresamccant459 It’s hard not to think many (not all) of the folks (politicians, judges, voters) on the Far Left Coast have lost their mind in the name of “social justice”.
Empowering and making “safe spaces” for drug addicts, decriminalizing drug crimes, giving out meth pipes and needles and courts re-affirming the rights of the homeless to sleep in public spaces of their choosing? The term “killing them with kindness” comes to mind. When so-called humanity towards your fellow man leads to untreated drug addiction, overdose deaths, untreated mental illness, apathy and a front row seat to watch the slow decline of people into uncivilized barbarism how can those who do nothing but talk live with themselves.
Talk about true cold blooded callous evil individuals who can sit back, watch people degenerate before their very eyes, do nothing and have no “truly actionable” plan that produces actual results to fix the problem. Cruel and unusual “humanity” is what it is.
By your response I am assuming that you too are housing at least one homeless person.
@@marianac715 I’m fortunate enough to live in an area that has an efficient, reasonable and practical local government officials. The homeless are all given the opportunity to either accept housing services, addiction resources, leave the area or go to jail for trespassing. I’m sure you’re surprised this method actually works in some parts of the country where quality of life for the residents is still considered important.
@@cleenlivin I guess we need to talk population, sociol economis, property tax rate etc as well as how the officials do their job and of course how peiple vote. You cant compare Rhode Island to Texas, the same with cities as it is far easier to solve a problem in a small town than it is in a big city. My dayghters lives in a small suburbs city outside of where I live. I have yet to see a homeless person there. The average home price in her city is $675,000 which may not be high in California but here it will buy you a big luxury home. It is one of the reason that many California companies have moved their headquarters there. There us very little crime and has a visible police and fire department. I get the city's newsletter and it's a great place to live and to raise children. Because it had a wealthy tax base the city can build new schools, that are the best in the area , provide all needed social services , hire enough, qualified police fire department as well as other programs for adults and children. I volunteer at a large homeless shelter downtown.. I only see panhandle at the street intersections by the toll way. In my area of the city. I pass out water and give them and offer to help them to get to a shelter. I haven't had one person take me up on it.
There are no NO TRESSPASSING signs.
He's a really compassionate STONER!
Beautiful property, not sure why he voted for lackadaisical law enforcement
J G, how do you know what he voted for?
@@sydneyevans2637 A red flag is how nice he is... the minute I realized that the cops ain't gonna put her off... I'd get her off real quick myself.

At this point I enjoy watching these stories on Portland. Enjoying the fruits of their votes😊
Living in Cali, all I could think was what a lethal combination campfire plus dense woods make....
Sorry for your invasive trauma thoughts. Being severely in debt without any help in sight my thoughts went to I hope it won't come to being homeless and thought of as a criminal 😢
@@Hx3ney who got you in debt? Try blaming that person...which I'm guessing is you. You listened to the system without a second thought about it. Zero personal accountability....just like all lefties.

@@LiLoTech yup
He was too nice at the outset. A harsh word is the only thing these druggies understand. Give their "stories" no credence, as they are expert liars.
Give them an inch they'll take a mile! I would have said, you need to pick up right this second and get out! When you're a kind and compassionate person, unfortunately people take advantage of that!
👍 yup,,, ask me how i know,,, i helped a homeless guy once,, let him live in a nice little cabin in back of my house,,, wasn't long that nice little cabin was trashed,, i didn't call the popo,,, i took care of it myself,,, i gave him 2 choices,,, leave walking or get carried out..
He made the "right" choice....
Well if the cops don't want to do their job then the landowner needs to take the law under their own hands, Just don't call the cops take care of the problem yourself.
This guy has a palpaple "limousine liberal" vibe.
Bud Light drinking, Pro Choice, Vegan, Democrat who fully supports the homeless;
just not on his property.
He's straight from central casting.
I ripped their tents down on my commercial property and told them to get off my property or else. Gone!
I have this happen to me in Seattle at least 6 times a year.I always go out back with my baton and destroy everything and then kick them out.I'm not talking.I've heard every b.s. excuse.I've been forced to put hands on a few,it makes sure none come back.
Barbwire and cut at the spikes, sprinkle in an area for "area denial". Watch shoeless bums doing high knees in your yard...😂😂😂

For a town like Portland, I expect it's gonna take a LOT more of these incidents before anything (IF anything) changes.
Dogs, get BIG dogs and that will keep individuals off your private property. We as a society should help all those in need, yet those in need do not have the right to invade our privacy/property. Respect is a two way street and not based your financial standing
Lighter fluid
Soon you may have to let them stay in your spare room.
We use to have over night car camper in front of our home. We cut down the brushes, trim the lawn coverings and install bright solar spot light. We now have no more car camper near our front yard. I recommend this if you have a camping problem.
A fiery but mostly peaceful "camping" problem.
The way he views this singular issue is how everyone who doesn't live in these cities views the city. It's a problem that screams fixing but instead you have decision makers making it worse.
That’s sort of odd that he didn’t just start throwing her stuff away
He’s been brainwashed into being woke
Probably just wanted to leave it to show on the news story.
Take a look at him,,,, he doesn't have any 🏀🥎⚾️🏐⚽️s
Oh boy. Imagine Portland in another 10 years… This scene won’t be as… amicable 🫠 they’ll overrun the green space AND have a fake lease for his house.

The middle symbol stands for the hearth and it's fire. A Greek goddess Hestia maintained the hearth fire of both Mount Olympus and the homes of the Greeks. This fire was important because it was used for cooking and for keeping the home warm. Hestia also helped to keep peace in the family and taught people how to build their homes. Sounds like a person who worships many gods. Peace love light everyone.

It probably won't be until someone poops on their porch before they realize that maybe the summer of love isn't such a great idea.
“I think it was actually me solving the problem myself.”🎉🎉
Well congratulations!! You’ve just taken your first step toward becoming a conservative. Welcome!!
And again I 'll say to you people in Portland, " If You Keep Voting For This, You Will Keep Getting This " When will you learn ?
this guy was too nice. One needs to jump on it right away and be forceful and throw their trash out. These bums are ruining life for everyone else.
Yes, a proper relocation to the savage reservation should be immediately ordered! Embracing a Delta! What , this shall not be tolerated! He should remove this unwanted guest and then take two Grammer of summa, and listen to the beautiful synthetic music of the feelies.....to take a quick holiday!
If he hadn't payed a guy to trim his trees for him he never would have known someone was living there and he wouldn't have cared.

@@gregoryhodge9452 - Or maybe he wouldn't have known until his house and his neighbors' houses burned down.

You're not a gun owner are you
ASK THAT GUY WHAT PARTY HE VOTES FOR.
Did you vote for the racist, lying, adulterer, corrupt, criminal traitor trump?
The police are supposed to enforce the laws no matter how you vote. It is not a partisan issue.
Oh well. He probably voted to defund the police
This whole story is tragic in every way.
The whole story is democrat voter in every way
Its ridiculous that the first officers gave her time (and therefore changing the situationg for the owner for the worse). They didn't have the authority to allow anyone on your private property for any length of time.
"I think of myself as a compassionate person...." but I still vote for the Democratic Party of War and Chaos.
If he could afford a high chain link fence, that might work. I think the officer meant glow in the dark no trespassing/keep out signs. Those that are fluorescent.
Looks like he can afford plenty of fence.
I would make it an electric fence too with very strong voltage.
@@somethingoldsomethingnew2199 and barbed wire
First of all, you don't alert the F'n police or news about this person because now you've officially established that they are there. You simply go in and drag every piece of garbage out of there and throw them off the property.
LOL, it's like what are they gonna do.... call the police?
@@djomegaminus Exactly, so why do it for them, right? I would simply tell the squatters that everything on my land is mine, which means anything they believe is theirs is actually mine. So if the police do show up, I will simply say all of it is mine. I would say that I'm a hoarder and since it doesn't meet city code, I am working to clean it up and these people are trespassing and threatening me and need to go.
im in California and this happens once a month in my front or back yard... and they argue with you when you tell them to leave... and cops dont arrest them or write tickets even if they do it repeatedly, the best way if figured out is say "get out" if they dont do it immediately or try to argue or whatever, just bear spray them and call the police and say they tried to attack you when you asked them to leave... then theyll actually get arrested and removed...
ive had to rent 6, 40 yard dumpsters to get rid of the garbage they have "stashed" on my propery when they were setting up their camps... also found a bunch of my tools and farm/shop/household supplies in their camps that theyve stolen from me...
I had one try and break into my jeep wrangler. Came out and caught him. Started up the wrangler and chased him with it. He had to hide behind a tree.😂😂😂 lit him up with fog lights while revving the engine. The fear in his eyes was orgasmic.
Write ticket, where will that ticket envelope goes?
Very nice NIMBY learning the lesson.
Grow a pair and insist that they leave
Wow, I know that spot. Quit hiking there years ago because of angry people camping in the forest. I’m telling you it’s difficult to find a roof over your head. I’ve walked through there.
Businesses in my area are embracing homeless people for security and cheap labor. They serve in that role better than security guard service, who only drive by once in a while, and charge exorbitant fees.
Yeah huge mistake, only on thing you want to do is call the police and notify the office you would like the person to be trespassed immediately under the following laws.
In Oregon, civil trespass is covered under ORS 105.700 and Section 164.245 - Criminal trespass in the second degree
Hahaha like Portland police care
I live here in Portland and the cops won’t even show up for ANYTHING, let alone this. Looting a Plaid Pantry last weekend to the tune of $10-15k won’t show up. One of the looters was armed and threatened the clerk with his life, gun in face. Oh and this is right after the street racing that was happening outside and the police said they didn’t show up because it was too big of a scene. 😂😤
Leaving a dead body in the tent would be a better warning for any future trespassers that comes next!!!
Poor little rich guy, but Portland has failed the homeless. Two words, Poison Ivy.
Family members refuse to help there own!!! And so does the state officials!!! We need be less selfish. And take care of these people. STOP ignoring the issue. We need to be more empathetic. ⚖️
Release the hounds
Damn….
This isn't much of a problem in Texas especially in the rural areas, you either leave that instant or become part of the property...Permanently.
And that mentality gas given us clusters of mass killings. Everyone has an ax to grind and an AK in hand. It's the wild west.
😂😂
How sad it has gotten that many people are homeless, becoming homeless or a paycheck, illness from being homeless. This can happen to anyone of us at any time.
Poor guy. I wonder how long will it be before someone else decides to "homestead" on his private property?
I think I would be putting the sprinklers on at random intervals and flooding the area along with my neighbours help. Put Blood and Bone down there while you are at it.....
The city will probably make the private property owners give these zombies 30 day notice to evict.
@@david-ul5mgif they would have broken into his house they would have squatter rights and take years to evict in Oregon.
@@david-ul5mg They produce a fake lease. Happens all the time in Oregon. Lol.
@@david-ul5mg
@@david-ul5mg You sure don't act like u have a law degree. Unless you work with Mike Schmidt. Then that would make sens. And yes, Oregon does have squatters rights. If a homeless zombie breaks into a vacant home, the homeowner would have to evict the zombie. It's a terrible law !
@@david-ul5mg You mean squatting in the woods.
I don't recall hearing the term "homeless" until the late 80's. Before then I believe that vagrant, tramp, migrant, and bum were the preferred terms. Hobo was also used pretty freely, but that one should be reserved for those that ride the railroads.
Homeless started being used when the urban camping thing got going. Before that the people who stayed in one place and didn't work were called bums and vagrants. Tramps were people who traveled and didn't look for work and hobos traveled and looked for work.
From looking at this video I have to say that he does have a nice piece of property. I hope he will be able to resolve the new neighborhood problem.
If the cops won't do their job, this guy has the right to take care of the problem in any way he sees fit.
Proving everyone is a Patriot whether they want to admit it or not.
A "patriot"? LOL. What a dumb comment.
This man votes for the people that have created the homeless situation in the first place. Real compassionate leftist .
Ok smart guy. Judging by current right politics (which currently revolve around stripping people of the human rights, lying,stealing and grifting, supporting a traitor and rapist all without compassion or any shred of morals).......what would republicans do? Please tell me. I will wait. I bet you don't have a good answer. Just more hate fueled rhetoric.
Show us his ballot... real delusional right-winger. BTW, what did trump do to help the homeless?
@@philgar7786 for one, he didn't open the southern border for millions of homeless to come in. Using up the resources that should of went to the homeless American citizens. He didn't encourage it like Portland did by legalizing drugs that will create a endless homeless supply. Everything was less expensive under Trump like groceries, fuel,housing, cars,etc etc. Which gave lower class to be able to hold onto their property and apartments.
Next question!
@@philgar7786 Right. And we know how you voted, too. No need to see your ballot.
@@philgar7786liberal owned, shut up forever please
I live in Northwest Portland and the homeless problem is out of control
I live in SW Portland and it’s bad here too and we’re sort of considered the ‘burbs. 😢
You should make a video of the encampments, narrate it & send one copy to the NY Times, and another to your governor.
Sounds like your city councilmen and Mayor aren't solving the problem.
Good deeds……I believe compassion for those in need was the initial driver for the debacle that has turned Portland to ground zero for rampant lawlessness. Prime example of how not to run a city.
Keep a positive attitude and from now on, take some time to check the below stairs property of yours, for homeless, inform them to get out immediately, now, and call police.
I didn't know that owning a home in Portland was your fault. 😮
I am SO GLAD I live in a state where the local PD would have had her gone within hours. We don’t tolerate that crap here.
What state is that? And do you have a Republican governor?
@@lorraineniece8813 Utah, and yes.
Whether you feel for this guy or not, I gotta hand it to him for his calm demeanor and not being a Kevin.
You have every right to defend your property and kick out trespassers. You are left with cleaning up their damn mess.
Honestly if she was really homeless, I don't see why she didn't take her stuff with her. Tents are not exactly cheap to buy. That strikes me as odd that she left all of her belongings.
@@rs72098Maybe she was taken into a shelter?
Defend your property from a scary camper 😂
When did cops all over the west coast decide that "squatters" "campers" were not trespassing? Time and time again, these uneducated cops call this a "civil matter" so that they do not have to do anything. Trespassing is a crime; vandalism and arson are crimes. Cannot understand why a property owner cannot order anyone off their property-pronto. In many parts of this country, if a person steps foot onto private property, they are rendered unable to take a step back. Sounds tough? Cruel? See if you like having someone in your dry wheat fields who could start a fire; see if you like your livestock stolen or mutilated; how would you like heavy, very expensive machinery vandalized? Same goes for a property owner in the densest city neighborhood. No trespassing. Very simple, cops and judges.
Short answer - the 4th amendment makes this all very murky.
It's not the cops, it's the voters.
The police were seriously defunded in Portland and told they could not enforce laws. This is the result. They won’t do anything until the mayors office issues written guidance.
This type of situation never plays itself out well
God bless these refuges taking over back yards! Power to the people.
Why hasn't the city provided affordable housing and _sanctioned campsites_ to solve this problem?
What happened to all the money that Multnomah County voters approved of three years ago that was supposed to be *earmarked* to deal with the homelessness?
they could have spent it on cops.
@@JamieStLouis-tu9ml
No, cops actually wouldn't help in this situation. Plus, money for "more cops" was NOT on the ballot. Money for housing the homeless WAS. And it passed!
@@valerielhwthey lied. Nothing new
You could spend triple the money on dealing with the homeless and it's not going to work.
@@nosonoliento
And you know that "how"?
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that when home and rental prices shot up much higher than the general inflation rate, and too little affordable housing is available, homeless increases.
Obviously, ignoring the problem hasn't worked.
Draconian anti-camping laws will only result in courts, prosecutors, public defenders, prison and forced mental commitments. They would prove *far more expense* to taxpayers than ignoring homelessness is now costing us.
_What will work?_
*Many more affordable housing units made available.
*Many more emergency housing options than currently exist.
*Sanctioned outdoor camping areas for those who will not agree to inside shelter rules.
*Readily available and affordable mental health treatment and drug addiction treatment. Job training and placement are also needed.
While I don't contend that implementing the above would stop ALL homelessness in Portland, I know that these measures would drastic reduce it, and, as a bonus, these ideas would cost LESS to taxpayers than ignoring homelessness has cost us.
Compassionate liberals, until it’s their backyard. Can you say hypocrite?
@@david-ul5mg fair enough
“Alters&shrines” this man has never cooked for himself
How is this not trespassing!
An area that lush would be difficult to burn down, esp from a fire enclosed in stone.
In the fall?
I camped out in thewoods when I was homeless, but I was in stealth mode. I didn't hoard crap, and sh*t all over the place. I could pack up and load it on my beach cart in about 30 minutes...
Because you probably weren't on meth. I did it too yrs ago,never left a mess & supported myself too.
Nice piece of property; I'm guessing in Portland it's well over $1M. Contrast that with what the woman had and the difference is pretty striking. However, I'm guessing this guy has supported the policies that have allowed the problem to grow unabated - that is until it came to his property/neighborhood. Enjoy.
Used to know someone like that had the same persona in Albuquerque, and they live in a 3/4 million dollar home and spread liberal propaganda all over. God forbid if you have a different opinion. Hey, did I say used to know (says it all).
BTW a 750000 home in Albuquerque will get you a gated community overlooking a crime infested city. That same home would fetch 2 million on the west coast.
Albuquerque’s homeless problem is not getting any better either. Maybe that Fu$& Face I used to know, will invite a homeless person in their house for some hummus and avocado 🥑 toast, but I doubt it, he is cloaca.
Likely $3M at least and we didn’t even see the house. I live here in Portland and know this area. Housing prices are nuts here.
For the life of me, I don't understand why she wasn't removed IMMEDIATELY! This isn't a squatter's case, where the squatter can pretend as though they have a lease and it's up to the courts to decide. Obviously if you have a tent and are living in my backyard, you have zero rights to that and I'd think that any sensible solution would be 1. removing the person right then and there and 2. if you show up again, throwing that person in jail preferably for a long period of time (like a year) so that they're smacked in the face and get the fact that they need to find other options and stealing space from someone's backyard isn't one of those options!
