Many years ago, there was a 'poor farm' in rural Linn County about 3 miles south of Albany, Oregon. It was on Oakville Road, which was called Poor Farm Road back then. There was a large main house that housed at least 100 people. It was a working farm with vegetable gardens, chickens, pigs, etc. A shuttle went into Albany about once a day, so that the people could do their business in town. Excess farm products were sold to local residents. It was a self-sustaining farm that also made extra money. The building is still there - overgrown with trees and brush. It's on the west side of Oakville Road about 1 mile north of the intersection of Highway-34 and Oakville Road. Residents worked on the farm as they were able. A couple of hours of farm work every day was completely within the realm of opportunity for most of the people. It's good physical exercise and gives one the feeling of helping out the others on the farm. It's good for the soul. Why this simple solution to the homeless crisis escapes the minds of the politicians is a complete mystery to me.

It's quite simple - they're making a lot of money. Huge homeless budgets they get to spread to their friends who pretend to help people. Homelessness is a multi billion dollar industry. They literally don't want to solve it because the gravy train will stop. They're there to make money, not help people.

Gentrification of multiple neighborhoods by greedy corporations and house flippers has ruined the housing market in Oregon. vast streets of newly remodeled overpriced houses, townhouses and buildings, sitting empty. give back the land, give back our neighborhoods and towns. The individuals who are predatory and came here to avoid prosecution in their home state need to go back home and take care of their business. DMV needs to do background checks when doing licensing so if someone is wanted in the USA anywhere, they must fix that before licensing, no insurance, no license is a tow. that is how it was and needs to be again. Oregonians do not throw trash Gentrification should be a criminal offense with providing the people displaced with housing equal to what was stolen

They need to be held accountable for thier crimes, and the threat to others.

Criminalize homelessness? So they're gonna give them roof & 3 meals a day for free? Oh the irony

Uh...Goldwater Institute doesn't quite have it right. 'Housing First' doesn't mean no strings attached. It means housing is the priority because once a secure shelter/home is established, it is easier to fight other issues ike addiction, unemployment, etc. It's easier to find and keep a job when you have an address and don't have to worry about where to sleep every night. It's easier to focus on addiction recovery when you have somewhere safe to do so. (even if it is in a recovery center)

If punishing people for resting, sleeping on public lands is legal, why don't they reason that debtor prisons have a longstanding history in this country and in English Common Law, as they did in the Hobbs case?

Bus all the homeless to DC

Amendment IX The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Being homeless is not a crime - the real crime is our failure to produce a social safety net that catches these folks who fall on hard times and ultimately turn to drugs and crime to sustain themselves and their families after society has been allowed to forget them. What happened to caring for our fellow Americans? Or has it turned into "I've got mine - screw everything else"?

So, someone gets arrested because they are homeless... What happens when they are released? Is an effort going to be made to help them with food, housing and getting a job? Is an effort going to be made to find friends and family who can help them get back on their feet? Are we going to institutionalize work houses for homeless people that were locked up? You have a job that probably pays minimum wage, you have food and shelter, but the chance of being able to get a normal job and housing will probably be almost impossible. This is a setup for businesses or so called charities to rake in big bucks by exploiting people who have few or no viable options. And a major win for the prison industrial complex. Are we just going to dump these people back on the street with almost nothing and then arrest them again? You have to have money to rent an apartment or buy a house. If homelessness is going to be criminalized then the federal, state and local governments need to regulate the housing market. Housing shouldn't be treated like an investment. Part of the reason homelessness is such a problem is because of how expensive it is to buy a house or rent a tiny apartment. While there are ethical religious charities, it should be the duty of the government to provide services and support to homeless people. People shouldn't be coerced to attend religious sermons or risk being thrown out of a shelter ran by a religious charity.

​@@williamryan9195 I totally agree. There are so many problems with criminalizing homelessness. Because of getting arrested you now have a criminal record that can be used against you in the job and housing market. - Are people at risk of being arrested and locked up if they are living out of a RV or vehicle? Does this count? - If someone is homeless and they have a dog, for example, what happens to the dog? - How do you deal with families that are homeless? The parents aren't bad they are just too poor to afford to put a roof over their heads. - Minors and young adults who are homeless because they have no place to go and the home they left isn't safe. Lock them up? Send them back to their abusive and negligent caregivers? Put them in the over burdened foster care system if they are a minor? - If a husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend or couples are arrested and sent to different jails or prisons... They just simply have to accept that their marriage or relationship may be over because of the difficulty or impossibility of staying in touch? In dire situations having a pet, friend or significant other can keep you alive and keep you going. If couples get broken up because of this it will be harder to transition back to something resembling a normal life outside of jail. - If we can't build and staff enough facilities to jail people for being homeless, it's just going to become another revolving door with people cycling in and out and police may just give up and not bother arresting homeless people because there is nowhere to take these people to. - I don't know what percentage of homeless people are elderly or disabled with special needs... But this also constitutes a serious problem. I doubt security guards have the training and skill to deal with fragile, older and disabled people who may need help going to the bathroom, need modifications to their bed for medical reasons, among so many other things. - Is the state going to provide care or services to people who are psychologically disturbed or impaired? Are we going to treat everyone like they are a nail and beat them into place with a hammer...just throw everyone in prison without any regard to their unique needs and circumstances?

House Bill 3115. Read it

NO DRUG ADDICTS

NO ALCOHOLICS

Not your call those ARE EVERYONES shared space not “your” shared space. You jealous go set up a tent next to them. This is what happens when you disregard the 14th amendment.

HOW TED WHEELER LIKES TO BE TREATED IS THE WAY HE TREATS THE HOMELESS....

So good now camping in America is illegal.

@@avenue8822 ya, ya. You mean paying to sleep out in tent. Federal lands with dispersed camping will follow, then it will all be pay to play. Camping is now illegal in America.

@@kyddshine No, I mean that people who go camping usually dont camp in a City Park, or a sidewalk in front of a business, leave their needles all over, crap on the sidewalk or accost people walking by for spare change. If you feel so strongly about it, open up your back yard to the homeless.

@@avenue8822 I am very aware of homeless. Please don’t soapbox issue. We need to address problem directly, fentanyl and housing, but profit is too important and doing well. This will only force homeless into areas that are federal or state owned. Encampments will stay past regulations there too. So Federal Forest and BLM will make changes, because it is already happening. Just city folks won’t see it. But rural folks and recreational users will, creating more issues down road. Since well addressing it would be like work and take community effort.

@@avenue8822 I do agree your average scout troop or family camping is not going to go to a city park and shoot up. Leave needles around, with half dead bodies they are camping with because of poverty, drugs, circumstance, or whatever’s.

How dare you!! The ignorance and hateful words spewed across this page is embarrassing!! Why don’t you fix you, which you clearly need and quit pointing fingers and acting like you have a grip on what’s going on here?? You can’t fix your brokenness by breaking someone else and hate only creates more hate. Is that really how you choose to live your life?

Time to be held accountable for bad behavior. This sick experiment is now over. Have a nice day.

They will not uphold the Grants Pass law you got a place for each and every homeless person then you can uphold your law

Boo Hoo, the poor junkies.....
