Portland WASTES $724 Million, Homelessness EXPLODES 61%

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

After burning through $724 million in taxpayer money, Portland's homeless population has SURGED by 61% in just two years. Yes, you read that right - they spent three-quarters of a billion dollars and made the problem worse. This is Housing First policy in all its spectacular failure, folks. We dive into the mind-boggling incompetence of Portland's leadership, where half the homeless population is completely unsheltered and running wild on fentanyl while city council members want to CUT the cleanup budget by $4 million. Meanwhile, they're pushing money toward "immigrant and refugee support" instead of actually helping the drug-addicted Americans dying on their streets. The homeless industrial complex gets richer while normal citizens flee the city and businesses board up their windows. How does spending $724 million result in a 61% INCREASE in homelessness? What kind of upside-down world are we living in where failure gets rewarded with more funding? Like and subscribe if you're tired of watching your tax dollars get flushed down the progressive policy toilet while real problems get worse by the day.
