I think we need a designated location for the homeless to live. Homelessness is increasing in the city, we need to provide them a place to live.

Everyone deserves to have a place to live. A set location could create a sense of community amongst people who are homeless. A location near a bus line will help with transportation to/from jobs.

You bet, even the Homeless need a place to go for awhile. BUT, there has to be guidelines. They can't just run wild like animals. Truly deserving people must be held accountable. In turn be given the tools and a way out through support. I'm a homeowner and I would help where I can.

Because homelessness will never completely go away. There will always be some person or family in crises . The old KOA is the ideal site as water , sewer, and electri is fairly accessible.

I think some neighborhoods might suffer as a result. Some don't have the resources and the quality of life might be affected.

A better location would be on the west side. The convenience of services near there was apparently why the college was located there. Near Phil’s trail or NW Crossing would be perfect.

Philip Clark

Because people will come from other places/states when word gets around that they can live for free. Other cities have tried this same plan and it's been a disaster!!

Needs to be outside the urban areas, probably East of Bend is the most fitting!

Neil Mackey

Siting a "temporary" homeless camp of this size, near two public schools and a park is NOT a good idea. What business in their right mind would look at property in Juniper Ridge with this nearby?

John Philo

No. Enabling drug addicts and the alcohol adducted to live on our streets and neighborhoods is criminal. They need to be housed in a treatment facility.

Ben Hargis

Keep the scum out don't invite it.

k san

I agree with locating them outside urban areas.

Nancy

Move them outside the city limits. Use abandoned buildings or have inmates build temp structures. They need shelter, but they don't need to be near residential homes, parks, or schools.

Can't count on the brain-worm / bear- cub-corpse-abusing guy.

a well-informed population makes everyone safer... can't trust anything coming out of HHS, CDC, or RFKJrs mouth...not to worry tho, soon all the smart folks will get vaccinated and the MAGAs will die of a preventable disease because they chose not to get a shot...

Jana Laney

It’s probably very dangerous for republicans in such a deep blue state

k san

RFK Jr. is dangerous and is dismantling health research funding and spreading false info about vaccines. The Alliance of Westcoast Governors was formed to ensure public access to credible info re: vaccine safety and efficacy. Anyone who thinks that's bad is obviously a MAGA idiot!

Absolutely, Portland is crime ridden!

Jim Buehler

The us is based on laws, Follow the law. If you don't face the consequences. This will reduce chaos and improve general respect for the law. I am tired of illegal immigrants having more rights and protection than legal citizens!

Wade Palmer

Lawlessness is out of hand.

DeAnn Davison

Portland is a disgrace to this state! I want the crime to get under control.

Trump worshipers are a cowardly bunch.

Ray McGrath

Hell no not only is it wrong it’s unconstitutional!

k san

The people who voted "Yes" for this obviously do NOT know the law. It is unlawful for T to send national guard troops into ANY state uninvited! He is just trying to intimidate and terrorize blue states, when red states have much higher rates! He is the felon/criminal who needs to be behind bars!

Lisa York

Trump is a felon, a fraud, a bigot, a racist, and has no business using the National Guard against our own citizens!!!...right out of the fascist playbook!!!

Oakley Taylor

The Trump power play is not welcome in our state. Shame on Lori Chavez. Sic the National Guard on the Red States.
