It should go without saying that everyone has to live somewhere. Forcing houseless people to move every few days and destroying the few possessions they own is not a solution. It's a way to sweep the problem under the rug so the community doesn't have to think about the problem

I just heard from @45thabsurdist that police told people they won't be doing the sweep today I imagine they'll do it when they always do: when people aren't around to stop it

I pass @KGWNews interviewing a couple of the camp residents, which seems important. The two people being interviewed seem pleased with the efforts Most of the residents seem to be keeping to themselves this morning

@tents4homes also does awesome things: they provide tents, tarps, and sleeping bags to the houseless community. This is real important as we head into the cold and rainy winter They accept donations!

Chants of "house keys not handcuffs!" led by a very small child Children don't really have the agency to hold political ideas they weren't fed and I'm always vaguely bothered by this sort of thing, but it's a good message
