We may never be able to help all of the homeless or safely lock up all of the criminals in Portland. The only reasonable answer seems to be rather obvious. We could build a set of rail lines and evenly disperse them all throughout the other metro areas.

If the owner wanted to contest those fines, AND IF he could ever get in front of a REAL JUDGE....could he not argue that city sponsored "Dignity Village" has worse violations and is held to a different standard ?

Any real lawyers care to comment on the inconsistencies ?

Good, Randy's dumb enough to spend a disproportionate amount of his taxpayer-paid time on someone who has the audacity to disagree with him.

He's got that much less time to work another plan to screw the ratepayers via PWB.

Watch out, Steve, Randy Leonard will see your comment, come on here and then debate the word "dumb" without actually addressing anything of any meaningful substance, and simultaneously personally attacking you out of spite.

But then again, we'll all get a chuckle that the guy was actually elected to run a city and will plan his going away party. Hmm. That gives me an idea. I hear there's a street corner at 4th and Burnside that would make an excellent location for a going away party. I bet the readers of www.bojack.org would revitalize that street corner far better than Randy, Sam, Vera, and anyone else has been able to do in the last 50 years.

The difference between the location where Dignity Village is and this location is clearly real estate value and the likely fact that some party already has something "penciled out" with city over it.

After all, this is Portland, planners' paradise, a privately-owned theme park, where either you're a voluntary paying customer or you're just obstacle in the way that will be asked to leave.

Mr. Grumpy,
Don't forget we have a public/private partnership in this theme park!
