Just 10,000’s of homeless camps in Portland

Here’s a live updating list of homeless camps in Portland.

Yes, you read that right. Over 12.4 million pounds of garbage is generated by homeless camps a year in Portland. That’s often waste that ends up in rivers, burned under bridges, or just clutters the city.

Over 372 homeless died last year in the streets – more than 1 a day. Before legalization of open camping and drug use, that number was around 70-80.

Despite raising homeless funding from $80 million to $800 million, homelessness is getting better in other parts of the country but worse in Portland.

The policy failures are real and killing 4 times as many people a year than jail did. You can’t say failure any more clearly than that.
