Portland has not solved the homeless problem; if anything it is getting worse.

Tents and beggars all over the place, typically near freeways.

Today in east Portland in a busy area while waiting for a light to turn I saw a scruffy looking PO.S. homeless spook pissing openly and wantonly in the middle of the sidewalk; he made no attempt to turn away or seek privacy, he simply pissed while facing the world.

What a fucking shithole this town has become, same as Seattle and San Francisco.

Fucking homeless.
