  • Has Portland found the answer?

    I doubt it. I think the fact they are even considering this stupid idea shows how impossible the situation is they've spent a decade creating.

    Under the proposal, homeless people would still be permitted to sleep in public spaces, including parks and construction sites, but would be required to clear out their belongings before 8 a.m. They could then settle down after 8 p.m. Officially, the
    city does not permit round-the-clock homeless camps on public property, but the existing law remains largely unenforced.

    Violations would receive two warnings before facing either a $100 fine or 30 days in jail.

    So all the homeless become backpackers......great idea!
