Portland homeowner threatens to sue city over homeless camps, claims he can't sell house & leave
A Portland man KATU spoke with more than a year ago is now threatening to sue over homeless camps near his property. Chris Pearcey is trying to sell his house but says he's trapped by the tents nearby.
Pearcey had July 7 circled on his calendar. It's when Portland's new daytime camping ban took effect.
"It breaks my heart that the city keeps giving these empty promises," said Pearcey. "On the 7th, there was supposed to be new action."
The same day he put his North Portland home on the market. But Pearcey says nothing in the neighborhood has changed.

@cassandra9699so your solution is to punish those who buy homes, for the price they pay for said homes? What an asinine, irrelevant, useless proposition. Property owners don’t set market value for the property they purchase. Their option is to not buy in a given area if there is an issue with inflated market pricing. Penalizing those who purchase homes does absolutely nothing to address the big picture issue. If we applied this kind of punitive logic to all consumer goods, no one would buy anything. Overcharging buyers for property would have the opposite effect you seem to think it would, to an almost comedic degree. You don’t solve inflated market pricing and lack of inventory issues by punishing end users. What next, the Robin Hood approach?🤦🏾♀️

Now Larry BETA Fink from Blackrock will happily swoop in and buy homes on the cheap and rent them back out.

Capitalism needs a housing crisis to make money and guarantee control. And it is true that zoning laws and incompetent leadership contribute to insufficient housing stocks, all those private equity firms and landlords LOVE jacking up rent on tenants because it makes them more money. Under capitalist modus operandi, if there is a shortage of any commodity, than they can charge more for it because a textbook in college on economic theory told them that is 'the law' - so capitalists have no incentive to create enough housing so they keep stocks artificially low to boost profits - and thus squeezing the middle class, including renters.

As a realtor I can tell you home sellers will blame anything and everything under the sun for why their house isn’t selling except for their price.
Let's start calling this what it really is .... not a homeless problem or crisis, it is a drug and alcohol addiction problem that has spiraled out of control!!! The people that really are homeless through no fault of their own or are severely disabled or mentally ill need the money these bureaucrats are wasting on drug addicts and calling it a homeless problem is sickening to me.
He's selling to get away from that riffraff. I know he's saying it's a family emergency but that's really what it is

Yes, the nations 50 largest cities for the last 50 yrs have been run by socialist democrats. This is the result.
Every city in the United States that allows homeless encampments should be sued by the citizens. There are limitless resources for the homeless. The problem is not a huge group of unfortunate people. The problem is groups of people 100% physically able to do a lot of types of work but are just too lazy to contribute to society and instead rather live life as adult babies expecting normal working people to feed them and give them money for their drug habits. It's truly sad and disgusting. It's time the working people fought back and demand these homeless people do something to contribute to society.
The mayor wants more money while they spend spend spend and nothing changes. They simply move the camps to new locations and mop up the mess they left behind. It’s called whack-a-mole. I put money on this whiner being a democrat. Live with the consequences of your actions.
lets go class action !!!!!!!! More importantly lets VOTE THESE CLOWNS OUT OF MULTNOMAH COUNTY AND PORTLAND !!!!!

That's a decent idea. The city was going to spend money building homeless shelters, anyway. Sue them, and make them buy the house!
But why is it the city’s fault that landlords are so greedy that people can’t afford to live there?

People pay taxes for government services such as public streets, police, sewer and water systems, etc. If the government is not upholding their end of the stick, then they should be sued. And it’s not like it’s a new problem and they haven’t had time to react.

For years, rent has continued to skyrocket because it’s so popular to be here. The second the value of a house begins to creep downward towards reasonable, people freak out. Why does the tax payer owe you for not selling your home during the height of the market?
But...but...but.... YOU voted for this.
Sunday will be the fifth anniversary of me taking a $43,000 loss on a 167k paid cash for property that I neither needed or wanted to sell. Because I knew that a transient initiated, personal violence, "irrevocable event" was already over due. And with the prevailing sympathetic homeless narrative, even if I won, I'd still lose. Best money I ever lost.
Don't worry. If you can't sell your house and end up homeless, you can just camp out on I-5 and get a handout from the local government.

If a home owner didn't maintain their home or property you can bet the city zoning department would ticket, fine and/or sue the homeowner. Turn about is fair play. I hope he sues and wins to force these elected officials to either do their job or quit to allow someone in that will.
Not to mention all those homeless camps are devaluing your property
This is why disparity matters! I left Vancouver/Victoria after 30 yrs. My rent was going up 36% per year, I took on 1,2,3,4 FT jobs-I can't work anymore than that-I'm in my 50s-not looking to amp up but wind down my life. I can't compete with a rich homeowner making $1,000+ a day on their home appreciation and their six figure professional salary. I moved to Quebec. I'm born-to-lose autistic.
The fact that there are so many homeless people that they are lining the freeway should be a big damn clue that the city, state and federal government need to take action on housing prices, wages and the mental health crisis. This inaction is insanity.

The solution to this crisis belongs solely to the federal government because if individual cities or states throw money at the problem, homeless people get wind of it and start pouring into the city or state. There has to be a national program that equitably deals with the problem of mental illness and homelessness that spreads the cost of the solution fairly over the nation. This is a national problem, individual cities or states can’t deal with it unilaterally.
