Portland Mayor Shelter "Crackdown": 120 Days, Then You’re OUT!

Portland is finally threatening to evict homeless shelter residents who refuse to engage with services after 120 days. Is anyone surprised this "tough love" comes after years of enabling open-air drug use and building a massive homeless industrial complex? We're diving into Mayor Keith Wilson's new policy that will affect 80-90 people—complete with formal warnings and exceptions for severe mental health cases. Meanwhile, nonprofits are clutching their pearls about "unsheltered houselessness" and claim these folks were "failed by fragmented systems." Really? The same systems that decriminalized hard drugs with Measure 110 and watched overdoses skyrocket? The city created this mess by coddling addiction, and now they're shocked people won't voluntarily get clean. Here's the kicker: Multnomah County is closing two shelters with 210 beds combined due to budget constraints—because when your downtown core is hollowed out and property values tank 50-90%, tax revenue disappears. Who could have predicted that? Do you think four-month deadlines will work when there's been zero accountability for years? Or is this just shuffling the deck chairs while the homeless industrial complex keeps collecting paychecks?
