Passage of Portland’s daytime homeless camp ban met with skepticism

I don't see this as an answer. I do understand that no one wants to deal with a lot of people using drugs and alcohol outside of businesses, I get that too. There needs to be a place to be able to set the tents up, that is legal areas, I am sure there are parking lots, or someplace that would work so they do not have to take those tents up and down every day and would be out of the way of others doing their businesses. Not all the homeless are having addiction problems, and many are elderly. We can be both sensible and compassionate at the same time.
