I am a Portland native and Eastmoreland area resident and am appalled at what the current leadership has allowed this city to become; a national magnet for people looking for a supportive, encouraging attitude for their negative life choices. An individual's (Hales) perverse decision to allow the nations seedy underbelly to invade our city, threaten our children, disrupt business and productive citizens ability to live in this city is criminal and I hope he feels and is held personally responsible for every crime committed, dollar lost in commerce, and sleepless night had by anyone directly affected by his decision to side with the criminals over the tax paying, law abiding citizenry.

Start taking care of the taxpayers!

1.) dealing with the people with mental illnesses
2) helping the people that were unfortunate to get back on their feet.
3) Deal with the growing number of "lifestyle homeless" that deserve no pity or help

We can no longer feel safe in our own city. Sidewalks are no longer available to walk on, bike trails are now violent campsites and this problem only escalates. It is time for the taxpayers of Portland to take a stand. Charlie Hale's public camping policy is not the solution nor is he requiring the Portland Police to follow it. The Homeless Camping Chaos only grows!

My tenants are tired of trash, sick of syringes amd feat for they safety of humans and wildlife because Johnson creek is being allowed to be used as a needle dump site and toilet. Children are tired of being chased and threatened on their way to school. We are tired of being told there is nothing anyone can do or that areas that always come first will come first yet again. We have the highest population density in the city and what seems like the least emergency service response. We demand our neighborhood back. We demand better. I have lived in this neighborhood for 25 years, it's never been like this.

We need to find better, long-term solutions this issue. Allowing people to camp on the sidewalks does not lead them to a better future. It is detrimental to the homeless individuals and families, to downtown businesses and to the tax-paying citizens, who are left to deal with the trash, excrement and drug needles that the campers leave behind. Moreover, please return our trash cans. Where could they even dispose of their litter when most of the trash cans in downtown have been removed over the last few years?

It makes a mockery of the City officials because not one of them are directly impacted by the criminal activity that results from a complete lack of order that results in the the poorer neighborhoods. It completely stinks of bourgeois ignorance for what residents in those neighborhoods that are not stacked with politicians, doctors and lawyers have to endure on a nightly basis.
