Portland's homeless problem is supposedly vastly, vastly worse than San Francisco.

What does it mean to "take care of" our homeless? House them? Who is willing to pay $3k/mo rent per homeless person?

In a third world nation, the "homeless" in San Francisco would be allowed to build a shantytown and would not be considered homeless. I'm not trying to minimize the real issues of poverty, but you can't avoid the fact that part of the problem is that regulation/civilization/whatever you want to call it has disallowed poor housing.

If someone is willing, I just because homeless.

I know, right? I've been running a entrepreneurial business for nearly ten years, and lost my payment processor (still owes me for two months of sales) because they went out of business. I'm trying to get a Patreon to bring me in $800 a month and failing, even though I'm now giving away the products for free to try and scare up quantities of people who can spare a dollar a month.

I consider myself pre-homeless at this point.
