At 6am they will be sent over to the new “Oasis Day Center” in NW Old Town (Broadway & 6th - nw Glisan & Hoyt) across from the Art Collage.

The entire block will be used for the hangout / clean up / resource center. Their hours: 6am - 10pm.

I’ve resided in OTCT for 14 years. I can’t tell you how much this will impact our lively hood and livability here. I imagine this will amplify crime 30% in my neighborhood as well as the neighboring areas.

We must stop our government officials from continuing to center services on our west side!

The “homeless” it turns out are smarter and more particular about where they sleep than we thought. They don’t want one big room with beds spaced 4 feet apart, with no place to put their stuff, no thought for their pets.

The line from a Costner baseball film says: “ If you build it, they will come”.

Seems like it didn’t happen. NO one showed up!

Turns out they don’t want our charity and condescending attitude toward them.

Leave them alone, keep the door open and a hot pot of soup….they will come when they are ready.
