Portland: Tax payer villages for homeless not wanted by homeless

Right. They’re homeless.

 

The wokesters in Finland have successfully reduced homelessness. Maybe we should copy what they are doing.

I remember moving here to Tennessee and I saw this campsite…
at first glance the website looks like a normal campground in maybe a scenic area….complete BS! ...the reality is it’s nestled right across from a freaking subdivision and not far from streets and there is nothing picturesque at all. It’s basically a plot of area with some trees filled with campers that essentially squat and renew the “seasonal pass” constantly…the point is this is a workaround for having a home. These people chose the homeless life https://nashvillei24kampground.com/ (the picture shown near the bottom has absolutely zero to do with the terrain, there is no water or scenery like that, complete fakery)https://www.google.com/maps/place/1...691ef22!8m2!3d35.966563!4d-86.530749?hl=en-us

sure they have to have some kind of income to pay the monthly charges but it’s about money and lifestyle…how this relates to the thread is people have to want to make the changes first and foremost. Some do, many don’t

 

Finland has a great immigration policy as well..
What are the immigration requirements for Finland?

What Are the Requirements for a Finland Visa?

• Passport/Travel Document. You must carry a valid passport that was issued within the last ten years. ...
• Identity Picture. ...
• The Finland Visa Application Form. ...
• Schengen Travel Insurance. ...
• Invitation Letter. ...
• Sufficient Financial Means. ...
• Evidence of a Place to Stay. ...
• Travel Itinerary.

 

Deflection. Are you saying we should copy everything Finland does? Let’s start with universal healthcare.

 

You conclude deflecting based on what? Maybe I’m inferring I’m ok with your homeless topic and expounding with what Finland does right on immigration. Also perhaps I agree with universal healthcare. It’s ok not to know just ask bruh…knowing is half the battle

He/she/they/them/it needs to stop the deflecting nonsense - I agree

 

Tmac fans are stupid, they want people to cross the border illegally with ease but pretend this doesn’t make it easier to transport drugs which is a huge contributor to why homelessness is a issue to begin with … let’s make access to firearms more difficult, fine ,..do the same with the border

 

In Minnesota we have a few of these programs. I’ve helped in some. So far it looks like there are mixed results. It does look like there are people who are using the tiny houses and there is more demand for them. There are still homeless encampments in the Twin cities.

MN is unique that most of our homeless re native Americans. To the credit of the local Native American community they’ve been building new housing and providing resources to native homeless. It looks like providing shelter with counseling on things like drug treatment and employment can work for a fair amount of homeless.

There is also a group that appears to not be interested in drug treatment and / or have mental issues that make it hard to address that. I don’t now how much that group makes up the homeless population. For them there really isn’t an easy answer. The city has been taking down homeless encampments but they can’t arrest them unless they are clearly breaking laws and being homeless isn’t a crime. For that matter there isn’t enough city resources to arrest and detain them indefinitely even if legally they could.
