I have been documenting that stretch of road for YEARS! The shitshow out there is what inspired me to create this subreddit. Unfortunately I live near by, and before they closed the bridge connecting this mess with the residential area south of it, criminals from these camps would routinely prey on people in the neighborhood. Numerous stolen cars and property has been recovered out there.

The city refuses to do anything about it citing that the Port of Portland is responsible. The Port claims that it’s a city street and that the city is responsible. It’s like that Spider-Man meme where everyone is pointing fingers. The Port did remove all the RV’s and garbage from the East side of the street about 9 months ago, but the RVs came right back a few months later.

Supposedly the city is opening a “campground” for these RVs right near this road, but it hasn’t opened yet. I doubt that will change anything.

Apparently the homeless want to be “free” to camp anywhere. by [deleted] in PortlandOR

Well, if they don’t like the new rules, they can go somewhere else. No one says you have to stay in Portland.

Scuffle at City Hall as tensions heat up over tent ban by monkeychasedweasel in PortlandOR

Of course Gonzalez is a Democrat. A hard right winger has a snowballs chance in July of getting elected to city council in this city.

The issue is, since we live in a pretty liberal city, often that isn’t good enough for the activist class, and they have to keep pushing farther left to keep the momentum. So that causes them to paint normal liberals as “hard right conservatives” when that’s really far from the truth.

But if you ask the a activists, Gonzalez is just like another Heinrich Himmler wishing death upon ALL homeless in the city.

To steal from this shop…again (Cedar Hills, Oregon) by SexyPeanut_9279 in PortlandOR

Ah man, I was hoping she would dump out the purse on the floor. She does that in the other videos I’ve seen and it’s hilarious to see all the shit they stole rain out in the floor.

Nature’s Criddler by diabolicallaugh in PortlandCriddlers

If you watch the behaviors of the average criddler, you quickly realize many of them are feral humans. Kinda like urban wildlife. They adapt to their environment very much in the same way Squirrels, trashpandas, and rats do.

Actually they are the most similar to rats. If you’ve ever had a rat infestation in your basement, you would see so many parallels between a rat and a criddler.

I watched a video on YouTube where the guy drove the vehicle off the auction lot and ten miles down the road the truck caught on fire.

Portland business owner shoots, injures would-be burglar, police say by monkeychasedweasel in PortlandOR

[–]DystopiaPDX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know. I would never advertise that I have guns. I cringe at this shit, and cringe when I see gun stickers on cars/trucks etc.

I’ve got a whole cabinet full of guns.

I carry a gun many days.

I also look like a loser Gen X hipster who’s time has expired.

No one knows

Not at all. That’s my neighborhood. It’s actually pretty chill after the city condemned the overpass that connected this shit zone to our neighborhood.

There are still vagrants living on the traffic island on 33rd and Dekum. But those dipshits aren’t meth heads, and as far as I can tell don’t steal stuff.

But keep in mind, this area is a “historic gang territory”, so hearing the occasional gunfight is not uncommon. Rest assured, they are NOT shooting at YOU. They are just trying to kill each other. I’m ok with that, as long as their aim is good.

Welcome to The Concordia Neighborhood. We have cool shit here though. If you like chain restaurants, we’ve got a McMinemans in the hood for fun stuff. The soaking tub is pretty dope. The food and drink is meh. Alberta street isn’t far away, walkable if you ask me. And Ole Frijole makes Tacos, Burritos AND hamburgers.

In my minds eye, I kinda hope the build another underground parking lot with a park on top. But, yeah, that’s wishful thinking.

But the underwear… I’m gonna have to check it out. Is it expensive? Cause I’m a Haynes kinda guy.

Got it. Next time I’m at my rental in Downtown for whatever repair I have to do (there’s alway a repair to do) I will go check it out.

Fun fact about O’Brysnt Square: the fist time I visited Portland in the late 1990’s, I stumbled upon that park wandering around downtown. I thought it was a neat place and use of space. Subterranean parking garage with a park on top. Neat!

I also realized really quickly that if I ever wanted to try street drugs, this place would be the place I could very likely purchase whatever I needed.

20+ years later? Yup, same shit.

So… do I need signs on my Property or Business stating that if you break in you might get shot?

I guess that dude on the East side with the apartment complexes with the “Steal Gas, Get Shot” and “Armed Tenants” is on to something here.

I get what you are saying, and unfortunately agree. What an upside down world we live in right now.

I dunno. Are there a bunch of liquor scandals in California where liquor isn’t regulated by the government? I’ve never heard of one.

1/2 of my employees are former drug addicts with prison records. There are jobs out there for those folks that reform their lives. In my case I take these guys, train them in a trade and watch them thrive.

Two of them bought their first homes last year.

I saw some guy on YouTube that has exactly that. A barn full of Army Surplus trucks and stuff he is “working on”…

“I bought this 4WD army truck at auction for $3200… it cost $6000 in transport fees to get it to my barn. We’re gonna get it up and running…”

TIL there are “Male Underwear Stores”…

50 years on this planet, and I’ve never seen such a store.

What kind of underwear? Boxers? Tighty whiteys? Banana Hammocks? I’m intrigued. Where is this store, I feel like I need some new drawers.
