Jordan LundKotek, Standard CEO Dan McMillan Form New Task Force to Tackle Portland’s Ills
Oregon’s problems can be fixed, but by my estimate it’s going to take funding an institution more or less the size of OHSU which means $4.9 billion.
Here’s what needs to happen:
a) Diagnose and treat long and short term drug addiction issues.
b) Diagnose and treat long and short term mental health issues.
c) Provide assistance for job seekers, resumes, addresses, phone numbers, email, clothing, laundry, and shower facilities.
d) Provide assistance for housing, applications, fees, etc.
e) Within c and d there needs to be specialists who work exclusively with people who have criminal records but have served their time.
TurblesCelborMan still obsessed with other people using drugs huh?
When “other people using drugs” are trashing the state I love? You bet.
Hadeny@jordanlund @TurblesCelbor the us vs them mentality does not help, I’m bettin there are a lot of people livin on the street that love this place as much as you. I hope the strategies you mentioned are framed from the perspective of addiction being a health epidemic
They love having a state that lets them get high with zero consequences, that’s not the same thing.

When people tell you who they are, believe them.

““It’s a piece of cake…you get three meals a day and don’t have to do shit…wake up, eat get high, wake up eat get high” repeat. A homeless woman shared with me why it’s so easy to be homeless. She was brutally honest because she hates the enablement “They are loving us to death””
Encode1307You’re right, we should totally base policy on what one person said.
