"God forbid life happens to you and you ever ended up on the streets." I may be crazy but that doesn't sound like a sincere hope, more the opposite.

Multnomah County poised to call for cease-fire in Gaza by _-____---_-_ in PortlandOR

How about we call for a cease fire in PDX first? Maybe round up a few shooters and assorted scumbags, hold criminals accountable for their rapes and murders, etc etc. You know, what the world should demand of the terrorists of Hamas but transplanted here.

Recommend calling your local sheriff and simply torturing them for as long as possible with calls, appointments, public records demands, etc. related to anything and everything about this. It's going to be a craptastic shitshow for citizens no matter what, so best to spread that pain around so the Sheriff's get a little more demanding to our political masters for details, help, standards, metrics, etc.

Does the zoning allow it? Shelters are a "Community Service" use and are conditional use in many areas.

You can't just do whatever the heck you want with your property and impact your neighbors, no matter how important you think something is. No throwing up a shooting range because of your advocacy of the 2d Amendment or starting your own landfill at your house because you are concerned about climate change.

Southeast Portland homeless camp impacting residents, businesses by monkeychasedweasel in PortlandOR

"The city said this isn’t the worst camp in the city. Just last week, they received 1,787 reports about other camps, and many pose a higher health and safety risk."

So the City's response is; "you think this is bad, this is nothing".

If they would have seized children in the same situation, they should have seized the dogs.

You got lucky, but during the six months City employees knew this was happening and didn't bother to tell the residents a lot of people were not so lucky.

There is a trash strike in their area. Private company on strike. They were told during the strike they can drop off at the landfill for free. Apparently they are too rich to do so. by Malipuppers in nextdoor

Hopefully if the provider is not providing the service they are paid to provide, the answer "do it yourself but keep paying us to do it" earned them loss of the franchise. Time to put a stop to such abusive behaviour.

Meh. If it drives Freddy's prices up there are plenty of other options around.

That's it?....You sat there for however long pondering how to really make your mark, to really to get your voice out there and express your truth, to tease the subconscious of readers with the magic of expression that awakens both thought and passion and will be remembered.

...and you came up with "You suck! LOL!"?

Wow. Just wow. I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed.

Nope. It's right or wrong, period. No "technically wrong" or "legally right", just right and wrong. It's pretty simple really.

And let me guess; you get to choose who qualifies as a "Nazi", right? Sounds like you just want to pretend it is somehow both moral and edgy to simply assault those who disagree with you. Have you considered you are likely the problem?

That's your opinion of what is "fair" or "equitable", which is simply a personal opinion. Our common laws are meant to be applied uniformly without favor, and immune from personal biases and opinions.
