It’s so inspiring to see people like Burke and Cohen working to save their neighborhood from those enabling cruel street camping. Keep it up you two!

Alan what do you have against neighbors acting to save their neighborhood? Have you been to dystopian Old Town and seen what the enabling of camping has done there? It’s time to support those (like Cohen and Burke) who are working to get people off the cruel streets and into shelter.

“Burke, in fact, said she was acting on behalf of the Portland Bureau of Transportation.”

Nah, she didn’t. That was your interpretation. Does anybody fact check you?

I am leery of programs like the Portland Free Store, which as I understand is not a good neighbor. But opposing something negative does not give one carte blanche. Representatives have duties to the people who elect them.

Where is the “carte blanche”? I don’t see it. You write some great stuff, but in this case it seems like you have some personal beef with Burke and are putting it into your “journalism”.
