I wish they would stop wasting money on sweeps until people actually have somewhere better to go. That continues to feel like throwing money away to make lives more difficult when people are already clearly struggling.

Exactly, Joseph. There's a huge windfall of funding, and it's being directed exclusively to new street outreach particularly cleanup/clearance, and congregate shelter that we know much of unhoused population won't go to. While still NOT creating safe, legal places sufficient for everyone to be, non-criminalized.
Thousands of Portland's most needy and marginalized people continue to live in daily fear, denied the most basic rights of security and space, while huge spending goes to new salaries and contracts to the sector managing it.
Meanwhile, the houseless and wide swathes of allied community are eager and ready to work on, and are working on, more self-determining, self-governed "spaces of hope", places of regeneration -- how are the city & county priorities/policies helping this?
including raising the question of how this direction could meet muster with Boise v. Martin court ruling and new Oregon law HB 3115 which will soon make city laws widely challengeable if they enable camp clearances in the absence of sufficient alternative legal places to be.
** CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION - 2PM TODAY ** Today at 2pm, the Portland City Council will be holding a vitally important work session around the Fall Budget Monitoring Process (Fall BMP) to discuss how we should spend one time funds available to address top priorities like safety and houselessness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONfzDBMgAOs.
As usual and increasingly so with public meetings, there is no public chat or means of peer-to-peer contact/visibility.
SUGGESTION, for this and other public meetings: use social media especially Twitter and use HASHTAG #pdxmtg (following the practice widely & helpfully used in Oakland & Berkeley, with #oakmtg and #berkmtg).
RIGHT NOW Joann Hardesty is critiquing the budget plan on homelessness.

sorry meant to say "new funding [is]...directed almost exclusively to new street outreach and congregate shelter" -- there is some funding for motels and other things. But definitely not the main thrust of it.
RIGHT NOW Joann Hardesty is hammering on the budget plan on homelessness, clearly skeptical.

This has been standard procedure for the last 40 years, no doubt
more.
Unless we can generate some widespread collaboration,
spearheading participant driven, uplifting, permanent living, and
dare i say livelihood opportunities for an increasing majority,
and especially the most in need, such as people with no home at
all, i sadly see little evidence for change.
If we can spearhead such a quest, i see gov and the private sector
then providing the no skin off their back help, that they can
offer, and we could use well.

worse than sweeps? The city rousted 4 tents from between 11th and 12th on SW Taylor recently. They did so by installing 14 bike racks! Yes, 14 in the western 1/2 of the block. There was no legitimate reason for sweeping so the city found that bicyclists
were clamoring for 14 new parking spaces across from First Baptist church. Crazy! And inhumane.
Backstory? The shop owner at the corner of 11/Taylor had legitimate complaints about people soiling her building doorway and otherwise making her customers uncomfortable. She raised hell and got a response. 14 bike racks.

What I don’t understand is why rather than sweeping all people they can’t just enforce existing laws and cite those actually guilty of offensive littering or public deification. And even if temporary, the addition of outdoor toilets in high camping areas wouldn’t hurt. Of course sweeps aren’t really about solving any of the specific problems associated with camping. Instead it’s just a broad crush stroke of harassment and dispersal. Obviously merely pushing the problem to another part of town is meaningless. Indeed, when there is no discernment between law abiding respectful campers and those who make these messes - eventually people can’t help but wonder why they should try to keep their camps clean and their waste disposal practices proper if no matter what all that happens is they get swept and swept again. Sweeps are not only unfair they are a threat to the health and even the survival of our neighbors who house themselves outside.
