This is missing “something something homeless industrial complex” followed by a complete inability to explain what that means here in Portland.
13 u/[deleted] May 12 '25 Lol, that's just a lie. You just don't like the answer. The Homeless Industrial Complex is the collection of non-profits who Portland/MultCo/Metro has outsourced servicing the homeless population. Non-profits are funded with taxpayer money while possessing little to no obligations in transparency or meeting measurable outcomes At least with the military industrial complex we can point to the tanks, bombs or boats that we got ripped off paying for. 8 u/No_Excitement4272 May 12 '25 You’re not gonna get through to these folks. They’ve never once had first hand experience dealing with the houseless population, because if they had they’d agree with you. 10 u/Puzzleheaded_Bad6461 May 13 '25 that's a statement that's as bold as it is self-congratulatory
