A shocking visual representation of radicalized progressive policies. @tarafaul503 were absolutely speechless over the devastation. The land is owned by the state and has been managed by the county. Both notoriously radical. They have knowingly allowed hundreds of

homeless to live in these woods for many years and have completely ignored the destruction. It is both heartbreaking and infuriating. I spoke to former Troutdale Mayor @RandyLauer (population 15,000) that borders the park who expressed his frustration with the county and state.

“Despite their repeated attempts to gaslight the public, the destruction of our natural green spaces and the utter disregard for shared community lands on state and public property is undeniable” As mayor he simply had no authority to do anything, but desperately wanted to.

In 2021 I took the Mayor to thousand acres to show him for himself. He and I desperately try to raise awareness with a public, but the state in the county continued to downplay the devastation. He and I were inspired to make videos after a faithful day only weeks before

when he and I and two other mayors were invited to tour thousand acres with the county. It only took ten minutes for us to know something was wrong. Not only did they not show us and mess and kept us at the very front of both ten perfectly clean camps but they told us

there was absolutely no drug use or children in the area. He and I of course returned soon and proved otherwise. “They are either willfully blind or too ignorant to acknowledge the deeper issue of rampant drug and alcohol abuse -Randy Lauer

Not only that is there’s always been a major criminal enterprise going on in this huge park. This for example example is a massive illegal chop shop.

The only actual enforcement Tara I found was a no dumping sign which it appears was not really read by anybody.

Scattered throughout the thousand acres of chaos are multiple burial sites. I’ve been told by dozens of homeless there are hundreds of people buried in 1000 acres. This makes sense, considering people have been living in there for many years. This two has

been denied by the county, but I highly doubt they thoroughly check the area. In 2021 a young homeless man and his mom walked me through the deep bush and after about a half hour I found multiple holes dug out. To this day, I

have no idea if these are actual burial sites but if not, I’ve always wondered why them dig the holes? There are no official roads in this massive park yet we found abandoned cars. It’s amazing how the people that manage this area would allow even that.

There are always three things you can count on with progressives and the issue of homelessness. They will always exaggerate how many Homeless there are in order to get a bigger budget, they will always

downplay the destruction caused by the homeless and if you ever question anything from them, you’re either a racist or a fascist .
