Is homelessness in Portland worse than other cities? I don’t travel a lot bit have been to a few cities recently and Portland seemed to have way more camps than other cities, including Seattle where I did not see any large encampments. I’m sure they exist but, for example, I expected Pioneer Square Seattle to be a big camp but I didn’t see any tents there — just a lot of people hanging out in front of the train station. In Portland the camps were more visible and I wonder if it’s because of this law.
Decriminalization of drugs has nothing to do with where camps exist in Portland. PBOT is responsible for clearing camps throughout the city, and camps have to be reported for PBOT to know about them. When their crews get around to addressing them, they get about a week usually to pack up their things and move. To another place in the city.

SEVENTY TWO HOURS to leave public space because homeless people don't have the same US Constitution rights as you
The last camp swept at the park across from my house was almost a week. Posted on Sunday, cleared on Friday morning.
Honestly, seems pretty lenient. When I've been asked to leave a public space I had to do it right then or be arrested.
You had somewhere to go.
And a place for your worldly belongings besides about your person.
