We want action on homelessness

                              
                   

    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.
