I met a completely unhinged transgender county employee in charge of approving Homeless contracts for NGOs. She kept switching from relatively calm to completely unpredictable. I met her when I noticed, she was screaming the N-word at a black guy. I had to stop him from
assaulting her. She said she’s been transgender since she was three. She initially told me she still worked at the county, then admitted she left that position and became homeless. While she clearly had moments of clarity
and could be well spoken, I witnessed her over a dozen times, screaming at random people. She’s a perfect example of a homeless woman who needs mental health services now. I have to also wonder where her state of mind was while she worked for the county.

BREAKING: I found the origin site of the massive wildfire that is so far burned 23,000 acres of the Deschutes national forest. It is a large homeless encampment with over a dozen RVs, tents, some makeshift shacks built out of scrap wood, shipping containers,
abandoned cars, and newer cars without license plates, a few old boats and a lot of trash. There is no plumbing or electricity. This fire has destroyed 23,000 acres, five homes and multiple buildings. There has oddly been a debate whether this was a homeless encampment or not.
“I don’t like living in fear” I spoke to Holly Siebert a homeowner that lives closest to the orgin point and the one who called 911. She was evacuated and spent a few days in a hotel. She owns over 100 acres and said her lands have been completely destroyed which Image

In summer 2023 I met with the Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon in Deschutes County and literally warned him of the high risk of a fire in the woods due to homeless activity. He changed the subject to climate change causes. The
wildfire in Sisters, Oregon is shocking. The fire spread quickly because these are extremely dry woods, we are in the hottest month of the year in due to its isolation. The emergency response was slower than it would’ve been in a major city. Image
There is still no official word on the cause of the fire. This though was the start of it and right next to it is a RV Homeless camp. Image

In 2019 I restored/reclaimed/cleaned almost five miles of the Springwater Corridor that was filled with over 400 Homeless people surrounded by millions of pounds of trash. Today there is zero Homeless and virtually no trash. How did I do that?
The springwater corridor is 22 miles long and is a multi use path that goes through Portland, Gresham and Boring, Oregon. I was hired by the city of Gresham after writing the Mayor letter with my ideas and how to significantly reduce homelessness. Two Image
months later, I was hired and for the first year I focused all my energy on reclaiming the springwater corridor which in Gresham is 4.7 miles. It was a monumental challenge. Gresham at the time had a higher per capita homeless population than Portland.

I got a tour of a notorious street occupied by the highest concentrated group of drug dealers in Portland. It looks like a regular occupied street of homeless people but I spoke to security that monitor the area 24-7 and shared the reality. With that many drug dealers, you
can only imagine how many customers show up every day and what this has done to the neighborhood. I was told the police are overwhelmed by the area and are going to leave it be for the time being. The further we walked down this one-way street the sketchier it
became. At the very end nobody was happy I was filming. This block is right next to what once was an absolutely beautiful movie theater but now closed for obvious reasons. On the other side of the fence is a low income

Is somebody at the City Of Portland deliberately violating the law in hopes that the city gets sued by the ACLU to prevent homeless sweeps? Somebody at the City of Portland is posting ‘Illegal Campsite’ notices on blocks with zero homeless activity. These posts give the
city the legal authority after three days to remove the campsite. The problem is this is violating city ordinance and also the ninth circuit ruling Martin versus Boise. If the city is interested in getting sued by the ACLU which would stop all camp
removals, probably for years this is how you do it. The ACLU has already done this in Grants Pass, Oregon. They are just looking for a fight. I’m a supporter of not having camps on our sidewalks and parks, but this is not the way to do it. This is either an overzealous Image

A pedestrian underpass get sealed shut with cement after the city ran out of ideas of how to permanently remove a homeless man who had lived in there for three years. This, of course, now prevents everybody in the community from using it.
The homeless man’s name is Michael. @tarafaul503 had worked with him extensively over the last two years. We successively reach out to his family and friends. This is a video of him from an old friend telling him she misses him. He had a severe mental break when he
was in his late teens. According to his parents and friends he was high achieving, outgoing, friendly and just really, really nice. Not one outreach worker has ever approached him and offered help. Not one. I verified this from him Image
