- The Mayor of Portland, Oregon on Friday announced plans to ban unsanctioned homeless camps as he called the situation 'a vortex of misery'
- Mayor Ted Wheeler
...Poindextrous lefty Dem mayor of Portland, Oregon. Allowed a year and a half of Antifa/BLM riots to destroy downtown sections of his city while playing catch and release with the perpetrators and hamstringing his police. He got reelected in the course of all that because the alternative was worse. He has yet to accomplish anything of substance, unless destroying a fairly pleasant city counts...
described Portland's homeless crisis 'nothing short of a humanitarian catastrophe' - The city currently has more than 700 homeless encampments across the city within less than 150 square miles
- Wheeler says he hopes to build 20,000 new affordable housing units in the next 10 years
- More than 3,000 individuals experiencing homelessness reside in the Oregon city, a stark rise from less than three years ago when the number was around 2,000
