Mayor Ted Wheeler is trying to resolve this
issue on homelessness by everyone having a safe place, that is secure and
affordable. In a article that was the City Portland’s Response to Homelessness,
Wheeler states that “You have my promise that he will continue to find and
implement solutions to our communities homelessness crisis. “ I wonder how long
is it going to take to take action in the issue instead of solutions? People
are fed up they want their streets, and neighborhood back.
But fixing the problem is taking more than
a token of verbal acknowledgement. This
article Why Portland’s Homeless Situation is the Worst in the country couldn’t
of stated better. This is what I was speaking on in the top paragraph that any
person can talk but we need to see action happening to resolve the problem. We
all have to find a way to solve these issues because the State and City are not
helping much.
What ideas can the people come up to take
action is that there needs to be more homeless shelters for safety. Address
those that want to be in their own tents because they maybe want to have a
canceled weapon or use drugs. Those need to face the justice system according
to Rene Gonzales a person who lives in Portland and is running for City
Council. To me this is a interesting
observation because he knows the issue Portland is having on homelessness and
know Gonzales who lives in Portland wants to be in the City Council to do
something about the situation.
