Heckler disrupts this morning’s Portland city council meeting yelling “F—Ted Wheeler” prior to testimony regarding the city’s settlement with disabled Portlanders who are unable to access sidewalks because they have been taken over by garbage, open air drug scenes, etc. pic.twitter.com/z783HfYIV4

At Portland City Hall, a rally preceded this afternoon's vote on a proposed ordinance to ban daytime camping. Earlier, council approved a settlement over blocked sidewalks and ADA compliance. pic.twitter.com/RSUfGJXeC7

I came down to Portland City Hall where ~150 activists have gathered to demand the city vote no on the latest proposed “camping ban.”
(According to polling on site, there is a huge appetite for humane housing policies, and nearly 100% of all Portlanders ostensibly agree.) pic.twitter.com/OhRHhBI5oG

The homeless are going to have to hibernate in the day.
This will work.
Really great idea.
Three big Portland City Council votes on homelessness topics today:
-Accept settlement in lawsuit over ADA sidewalk access: Passes 5-0
-Extend contract with Multnomah County Joint Office of Homeless Services: Passes 4-1
-Ban daytime camping (agenda item scheduled for 3 pm) t.co/lY7s2YWFm6— Anthony Macuk (@anthonymacuk) May 31, 2023
