We are facing an existential threat as a downtown business. We are forced to begin a move to a safer location outside of Portland. The city’s riches will be diminished with the loss of these good citizens. I do n’t blame the campers. There are few other options for housing, there is a plague of meth and opiates and a world that offers them no hope and little assistance. In my view, where the blame clearly lies is with the City of Portland. Please continue to follow through on funded initiatives. Fulfill the many promises made to the citizens. And give these human beings back their dignity.
