City of Portland - every neighborhood could shelter homeless

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - City of Portland - every neighborhood could shelter homeless (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 1/25/2021 8:55:22 PM EDT

Every neighborhood in the city could accommodate additional sanctioned outdoor shelters for the homeless. Planning and Sustainability Commission that is considering how to encourage more housing for the homeless in all parts of town. The work is being done as part of the Shelter to Housing Continuum Project. It is intended to rewrite existing city regulations to allow homeless shelters and sanctioned camps to be sited more quickly, including where they are currently prohibited, such as in commercial zones.

The maps were prepared at the request of commission member Chris Smith, who believes the new housing should be spread equitably throughout the city. Smith has wondered whether new shelters and camps needed to be allowed in open spaces and city parks to ensure that all neighborhoods qualify for a share of the new housing. He has not made such a proposal, however.
“Although availability is not equally distributed throughout the City, every neighborhood has at least some sites available for an outdoor shelter,” said a Jan. 22 memo accompanying the maps. It was prepared by the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, which is staffing the project.

The elected city officials and Planning and Stability Commission should go first and have 10 or 12 homeless move in with each of them.

Thats code for making outed onservatives take in homeless. After the cons are gone then the libs, then the socialists.

Probably best to have locals with charming stories. P&S Commission is going to want a lot of deniability should things go wrong.

This is a wonderful and benevolent idea.

I think conservative states, such as Texas, should be forced to pay for freedom convoys to move all their homeless from bad places, such as Texas, to the new homeless capital of America, the loving and peaceful Portland.

Looks like the more expensive neighborhoods (Laurelhurst, West Hills, Riverdale) have some of the fewest camps. Objective standards, my ass.

If people wanted homeless people in their homes or neighborhoods, they'd have them there. You don't even see liberals clamoring to have more homeless in their yards and spare beds so clearly nobody wants them.

Portland (Multnomah County) went 80% Biden, under 18% Trump.

Actually the city itself was probably 90/10.

Got back to Portland from a deployment last month.

I am quite confused as to how the deadly scourge of WuFlu didn't affect the homeless.

Disappointed.

I really need to move.

Wow, this is an incredible time to be alive, to watch liberals just completely ripping their masks off. Amazing and amusing. If the republicans apparatchiks can pull their heads out of their collective ass to try and pull the party together, we would see an epic blowout in the 2022 house and senate, the likes of which, we have never seen. It's going to be a rough road for the next 24 months, but progressives have lost their minds and are stepping on the dicks every single day.

The insidious part of this... look at the language being used. Terms like "spread equitably" and "qualify" are used to make it sound like getting a new homeless camp on your street is something to desire and aspire to.

Hobos spend a lot of time outside. Their vitamin d levels are probably the highest of all humans in Oregon and Washington. The outdoors also usually has healthy relative humidity levels. Optimal is 50% relative humidity. Both factors greatly inhibit vulnerability to influenza viruses and coronaviruses.

This is step 2 (step 1 was allowing homeless to loiter without fear of law enforcement)

Step 3 is busting zoning regulations so that high density, low income housing can be built anywhere.

Step 4 is crying inequality and forcing homeowners out of their homes, handing them to more deserving people/families.
