Latest pedestrian death in Portland raises questions about safety near homeless shelter

If only there'd been a referendum a few years ago against locating the largest homeless shelter in the state next to an industrial recycling plant on a busy street 3 miles out of town...oh yeah, there was, and the City of Portland ratf*cked the alternative "smaller shelters" option by introducing their 3rd option on the ballot. Underhanded professional politicking to subvert the people's will at it's finest. Mark Dion, Jill Duson, and the entire political establishment of Portland should be ashamed.

Combine that with how little has been done to address the cause of homelessness-- which is alleviating housing costs, you gotta start to wonder whether they'd rather see these people suffer and die than to do what it takes to create safety and community for all in our city
