There are homeless folks in any big city. You should see philadelphia.

i was wondering that myself. i think it has to do with the weather. so dreary all the time enough to depress you and not do anything but be a bum...when you find out let me know!!!!
Because you had a barbara boxer, Diane Feinstein wanabee for mayor for so many years. There all from New York City. Just take a look at that cesspool
They are everywhere. Because poverty is rampant in this country. We are to busy killing people for oil to care about our own people starving to death. They are not bums they are our old and our young who can not afford a home.
Ever been to New York City? Or San Francisco? The transient populations are far more numerous and aggressive in those cities.

In contrast, Portland's "bum" problem is not that bad. These folks don't even harass pedestrians that often. It's mostly older people who are down on their luck or middle-class teenagers/20-somethings who are rebelling...rather than hardened criminals.
Hmm, good question. It is well known in the U.S. " Welfare Community" that Portland welcomes indigents, citizens or illegals, by providing "free" welfare services "NO questions asked".
I personally think that the city government not only allows it, but encourages it. Portland makes Oregon a "Blue Welfare State". Remember, former mayor, Vera Katz running off to New York to show off and then refusing to allow the Portland Police Department to cooperate with the FBI's request in terror alert preparedness directly after 9/11. The rest of the state was humiliated by her anti-American stance. Typical Democrat.
