Nor were they informed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most interviewed by Fox News shared that they have no intentions of moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Homeless encampments remain in Portland, despite tent ban: \u2018It\u2019s bulls\u2014\u2018 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QtCFu4VX0d\">https:\/\/t.co\/QtCFu4VX0d<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/h9e7YY0jaQ\">pic.twitter.com\/h9e7YY0jaQ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; New York Post (@nypost) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nypost\/status\/1677932538008829952?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 9, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kptv.com\/2023\/07\/07\/portlands-daytime-camping-ban-goes-into-effect-friday\/\">local media<\/a>, starting Friday, people are no longer allowed to camp on city property from 8AM to 8PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe city says for those who don\u2019t follow the rules, they will be given several warnings and referrals to services, and then after police have made contact with someone three times, and if things still don\u2019t change, they could then face a $100 fine or 30 days in jail,\u201d the outlet shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One homeless person named Michael called the new ban \u201cbulls**t.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m tired of moving.

He told the outlet that he hopes homeless folks refuse to let authorities enforce the ban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c[Some homeless people] can\u2019t comprehend what\u2019s really going on out here,\u201d another homeless person named Lori said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u2019re not gonna get up and move if they don\u2019t know how to get up and move,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Per Mayor Ted Wheeler\u2019s office, the city is planning for a \u201csummer of education,\u201d which will include the so-called formal announcement detailing exactly when enforcement begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why and how law-abiding taxpayers in Portland continue to put up with this nonsense is hard to fathom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city clearly has no intentions of doing anything to curb the growing homeless problem. And good Samaritans are expected to just put up with the never-ending cycle of empty calls to action from do-nothing-politicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Portland, nothing but a lawless, liberal shithole.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5ZQkoYfGUQ\">https:\/\/t.co\/5ZQkoYfGUQ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Bad penny (@Ivegot9lives62) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ivegot9lives62\/status\/1678515020890554368?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 10, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Original Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/bigleaguepolitics.com\/oregon-enacts-new-ban-on-tents-but-doesnt-enforce-it-theyre-gonna-have-to-make-me-move\/\">https:\/\/bigleaguepolitics.com\/oregon-enacts-new-ban-on-tents-but-doesnt-enforce-it-theyre-gonna-have-to-make-me-move\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gcjdjhs3e.com\/32NN4QZ\/FGXLG\/\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The West Coast is in shambles.
