Yes unfortunately audiohi. In capitalism failures need to be allowed to fail . It's sad ,but it allows others the opportunity to own a home. I am not the courts . We just put in a bid and clean up the property cut trees haul trash trees and debree.
I lived there last century 98 _2000+ . Tent city has exploded since. Definitely a hell hole now.What a shame. I still have a ticket from standing on the platform next to the Max

Ok it may not have been the equal housing act .That was lbj.But Clinton did force lenders to give mortgages to people who couldn't pay . This created the housing bubble and led to the recession

Please show evidence of that. I was at OCCUPY in Manhattan and DC writing a bit, and we had former brokers and bankers on the side of banking reform, working in the atrium and regularly in contact with congress members. I have a pretty good grip on who did what back then.

The TARP began under GW, as did the housing implosions which were heavily contributed to by dishonest/illegal activities by Wall St.

While Clinton was a scumbag and helped to repeal Glas-Stegal, the wrong-doing that crippled the housing market was largely on Wall St. and their investment bankers and mortgage companies.

They were violating the regulations governing the Act you refer to and profiting from it, and were able to retain ill-gotten gains.

Check it out, if you would.

I suggest less half-truth AM partisan hate radio.

If not political radio, where are the half-informed ideas coming from? Social network? FB?

bullshit.
Jesus peats guys.
I know lots of them there sad story is that doctors got them hooked when they were in an accident. It is bulshit. They were doing dope all along, even as children.
As I said I knew many of them personally there was no hospitalization or chronic pain.
This is a recurring theme.

Last one for the night.
Portland really is drug people.
They seek out an easy lifestyle and a care free drug lifestyle.
Sorry I have firsthand experience with these types. They are not victims.
Evictions and foreclosures are on the other hand tragedy 😢
There's no such post number.

Edit: No such post number in this thread.

Some asholes would throw there hep dope sharps in playgrounds intentionally and laugh. Others would squirt there bloody rigs out were people could get sick .
They all thought they were the coolest

It seems to me that your experiences on the streets/road very much defies or runs counter to mine.
Fair enough. I actually just had an old friend od she was found in her van .Coincidencently I just wrote about it yesterday.
Perhaps you were in a position to help victims, and were approached differently because of it.

I've been both a MH clinician and a residential worker, as well as spending a LOT of time on the street and road. And a close family member ran a methadone and needle exchange program for many years.

I'll just come out with it , as i like to be candid andwhere my mind on my sleeve.I never did uppers but I used to snort black out of a rig .mixed with water and cooked on a spoon.
The truth I found is that it is something you can quit. If you want to. No intervainius though.
I do not believe that most really want to quit

Beliefs and facts are two different things, and thusly referenced differently.

Many people reach a place where what was good, no longer is.

Claiming what most do or don't want without knowing 'most' is a bit beyond scope of reason.
