You know, I often enjoy bashing ToddGloria and the democrats. But I genuinely feel sorry for him right now maybe I will cut him some slack…

It’s because every bum, drug addict, criminal, vagrant in the nation knows (they aLl have cell phones and organized communication skills) they can come to CA and not get in trouble or go to jail (for more than a few hours) & that residents of SD, LA, SF etc just accept it as is

10% ? ...i mean ...north county has 4 x as many homeless .and parked 'RVs' ....since covid begin. ..

It's not that hard, decrease rent prices, and put a hold on rent increases for 5 years. Has the city tried that? Just because wages have gone up doesn't mean cost of living has moved proportional to that.

Give us 2-3 years, and we will be Portland.

OKP has the crowd ☺️
