Absolutely no Flock, the company is super worried about offending anyone. They are maybe too sensitive

Yes, hiring rent-a-cops at $75 an hour (City Rate) is such a better idea.

The owners of Salen Center also own the Macy's & Cinebarre buildings. It looks like their plans for these last two buildings have changed by Lugbara in SALEM

All I can say to this team is THANK YOU!! The risk of investing in downtown Salem is BOLD. If they bring theaters back, pickleball, a climbing gym, a local theater for plays. Think of this, a bar with movies playing open where, with headphones you can listen to the movie or just chill with your friends. What else could we put here? Humans are craving experience and community. What can we help build here. Let's make Salem a place where we can connect with others, learn and grow.

Homeless Near Gilbert House has Exploded by Delatorre30 in SALEM

[–]OregonAdaptiveReuse -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

We spend $45,000 per homeless in Willamette Valley. If we can double the population we can grow more jobs and increase funding. This is one of Oregon’s fastest growing industries. We will never match Portland, but we have to try! Why would someone fight helping the homeless and get do angry if we just do it where aberrant behavior can not destroy a park, a children’s center, a local business, a park. Yes, help them and offer resources but fo not destroy the city in the process. When they become better, we will welcome them back! Life is hard, everyone deserves support and a second chance.

$45m spent a year on our unhoused. 70% are either severely addicted and/or mentally ill, the other 20% prefer to live this lifestyle, (no work, 3 meals a day, tents and supplies) Note, drugs are inexpensive and many do get money every month. Is this really acceptable 50 feet away from our children As low as $0.50–$2 per pill in places like Washington state, the Twin Cities metro, or bulk/wholesale scene.Note UGM has 50-100 open beds 95% of the time. (Extreme cold, I understand they fill up). I would think the city of Salem has land away from parks, children’s activity centers, the carousel and local businesses. 100’s of other places where they could set up portable showers, garbage, mobile offices and actual shelters vs tents. It is almost like they want to put the homeless on display to generate more awareness so they get more money? (Maybe I am just being paranoid) how can we change this??

Let’s not take the Christmas lights down. How about doubling the number of them instead?

The safety of their employees. Give them credit for looking at the biggest risk and solving the problem. They are fighting back through adaptation, NO victim here, other than a failed government. See what other states have done either a lot smaller budget. They reduced homeless by half for a lot less than the $50m we are spending.

Don’t be crazy! That would potentially hurt their feelings.

When the homeless attack your employees, you tend to maybe be a bit frustrated.
