I have posted sets of numbers in the past to show that it's
extremely unlikely that politicians will be able to use dollars to
shovel their way out of this mess. If that's the way you want to do
it you will need a lot more dollars. I know we have people here who
don't understand simple math, but I'm posting another set of
numbers for my own amazement and amusement.
"Wheeler’s proposal includes a vague plan to “eliminate†street camping by encouraging campers to move into one of the
city’s encampments or another homeless shelter or face some type
of penalty. Wheeler said he’s working with the Multnomah County District Attorney’s office to create a referral system for
unhoused people to avoid prosecution, but that the details have not
been ironed out. On Wednesday, Wheeler did say the plan may involve offering to clear peoples’ criminal records in exchange for their agreement to move into an encampment or accept other services.
“We’re trying to create a non-law-enforcement approach to incentivize people into the services they need,†Wheeler said. “The goal here would be an effort to eliminate past sanctions —
old warrants, old fines — in exchange for people being willing to participate in the kind of treatment necessary to recover their
lives.â€
Skyler Brocker-Knapp, a policy advisor for the mayor, said
Wednesday that unhoused Portlanders will not be forced into the encampments. “It’s one option out of many,†she said.
Brocker-Knapp added that the city is close to finalizing lease
agreements with two other property owners for city-run camps, and
are in conversations with others interested in leasing their
property.
The city does not have the funds required to purchase or operate
all six planned camps. According to Wheeler, the $27 million city
dollars approved by the council to bankroll the proposal will only
cover the cost to open three encampments. Wheeler said he’s in talks with Multnomah County leaders and the governor’s office to have their governments commit funding to the proposal. So far, no officials from other government agencies have expressed public
interest in fulfilling this ask.
Urban Alchemy has asked the city for $5 million to run oneIs their logo a goose sitting on a mound of gold eggs? Or maybe a
