OREGON OBSERVATIONS.1 26 MAY 2023
Eugene, Roseburg pass new camping ordinances. Here’s the deal: I don’t care how much WP spin they put on it if they have enough of a bum problem to have an “Unhoused Response Communication Director” on the city’s payroll (i.e., paid for by our tax dollars), there’s more of a problem than if they’d forcibly round ’em up and move ’em to a Transition Center. I’m not sure why the city’s making such a big deal outta its “We actually aren’t going to see big changes in terms of how this looks or feels in the community” position when they come right out and say, “depending on available resources,” it means unless they hire more police to take action against bum encampments, the trash-filled piles of squalor and makeshift tarp-cities WON’T change. So, why’d they make such a production out of this announcement? I’ll tell ya why: People are getting fed up with the bums and their piles of trash and are starting to raise hell with the city. That says a lot in a WP town that can’t find its way to elect anything besides bleeding-heart, touchy-feely politicians.
