That sickening feeling you have seeing this. Do you recall the first year or two of the recession (2008-2012 ish)? Do you remember when these corrupt banks foreclosed on 100,000s of our fellow Americans. Entire families got registered by these snakes. Then the government had to bail them out not once, but twice. The entire first bailout they decided to give one another huge bonuses. Then the second time around, the Democrats had to force through guidelines that the money is to be used on helping American families and to help save their homes from these money grubbing weirdos. But by the time this took effect, the banks had years to literally make entire families homeless. Or what about the other corrupt rich that started the opioid epidemic. Pharmaceutical companies like Perdue pharma ran unchecked for over a decade, spreading false information about their crazy addictive medications (like Oxycontin, hydro codone etc etc) Why haven't they really been held to account? I'm not saying every single homeless person today is a result of these highly corrupted people and practices. But I'd say a high percentage is remnants of that. So when you see a rich person begging for more money, or a lesser punishment cause they are wealthy. This is the result. A bunch of poor souls that are still addicted from what dr.s and pharmaceutical companies did and pushed on patients . Or somebody that lost everything because we allow wealthy pigs to get away with scamming everyone. I'll tell you it makes me sick as well. Between that and the fact none of the people responsible were and probably never will be held accountable for these horrible actions that's affected millions of our fellow Americans.

The only thing about addicts is they see kindness as weakness and take full advantage of everyone and everything enough is enough.

Thank God to the news reporters for helping 😊

Thanks Steve. You got one more subscriber here today.

Portland is still dealing with the effects of _decriminalizing open-air drug use_ . Portland’s “Live and Let Live” approach to people with substance abuse problems has led to the massive homeless encampments and filth on the streets there. What a nightmare.

These people aren’t being funded. In fact, there are homeless shelters but the rules are so restrictive and inconvenient that many of them prefer to stay outside. The root problem is addiction and mental illness. Throw money and legal reform at those issues.

@@transphotographythe problem is you think “throwing money” at a problem solved anything. The problem is how the money already being “thrown” (wasted) is being misused and misallocated. San Francisco now “throws” the equivalent of 120,000$ per homeless person per year to tackle homelessness. Yeah, great idea. Let’s keep “throwing” more taxpayer money yielding zero results.

Man, this is sad, as a former restaurant owner. I understand their struggle. They are hard working people.

I wish Kansas City had news anchors similar to this guy. This was well written, presented in a way that we all can appreciate and understand and have compassion for everyone in the situation. Great job presenting a decent piece of news work to society. 5:01

This is the price of freedom. Either leave them alone to pull themselves up by their bootstraps or admit that the meritocracy is not working. Pick one.

The owners should sue the city.

What a shame. Glad some help finally showed up. Hope the homeless problem finds ways to get resolved.

Thanks KATU News

I live on a different Country but I’ll thank 2kato for helping out these restaurants owners. If not for you these owners night mare will never end. Great reporting.

It seems the owner called many times to no avail. It's only when the local news starts making the law enforcement and city look like they're not doing their jobs that they do something. Maybe that's the answer. Use local news for situations like this to embarrass the city for their lack of help. $30,000 a year in taxes and no help? These people lasted far longer than I would have. I hope they can remain there successfully if that's what they want to do. Maybe they would do better with a food truck.
