Your clown candidate for Mayor, Sarah Iannarone, needs to explain herself. How can you run for Mayor and, at the same time, do all those end-runs around democracy. State laws prohibit rent control? As Mayor of Portland, she will just ignore state law and get us sued. Not invited to a debate? Show up with Sarah Long the disrupter. Frustrated with lack of shelter beds? Just work with activists to put an unsanctioned tent city on PDC property.

Wasn't the Seares deal supposed to help this, or is this just more advocates yelling bullshit?

If we only stuck to what was legal, as opposed to what was right, then all sorts of injustices never would have been changed. It's called Civil Disobedience--look it up!
I for one was glad to hear Sarah Iannarone was at this camp volunteering today.

You think it was helpful for these women to be promised hope in the form of a new camp and then have it snatched away from them, and have to move twice, while under already difficult circumstances because the nonprofit "advocates" for them couldn't bother with due diligence or securing a legal site for their camp?

Maybe Sarah Iannarone and Sara Long could have spent the same amount of time and effort finding an alternative site that would have offered more stability from the start, but no, it's about their own egos and publicity above the needs of those they actually purport to be fighting for.

Maybe those women should get jobs. Maybe we shouldn't be more focused on this just because it is women involved. How many other camps have been shut down in the same fashion. Mental health and treatment with a realistic transition plan is what is needed not giving them tents and acting like everything is ok.

f** tents. f**** homes, f**** people on both sides of that block... F**** all of you and your walls. None of you are solving anything, your just shifting it around- it's an entropy/ partition function thing.

Please wait...
