People like Chau, who seem like ok tenants and could use compassion and a boost in terms of low income housing (btw, median income in Multnomah is 112k?!?), are being terrorized by people doing actual illegal things who shouldn’t be in the streets. Disabled people who just want a safe place to live when they can’t get a job getting sick from fentanyl smoke and feces on the stairs.“To be compassionate, we have to house those who aren’t good tenants.”
Did the apartments descend into chaos or the idiots living there? Something about 28 million and low income in the same sentence sure seems like an oxymoron.

Maybe being compassionate is looking out for the vulnerable from those who are a danger/menace.
Phats, what’s a “workable” case load for a decent, average caseworker? 10? 100? Is getting everyone who needs it (whether they think they do or not?) a caseworker even something that’s doable with investment and training, or do we have to think of another solution?
They need to separate the homeless with substance addictions and the homeless without substance addictions in places like these. That's what Boston has done.
Agreed, but we'll need to get the addiction centers up and running. Perhaps build some of these that double as addiction centers? Just throwing out ideas...They need to separate the homeless with substance addictions and the homeless without substance addictions in places like these. That's what Boston has done.
A $28 million bond is under $100k per month, depending on the interest rate. I feel like that's generally in the 1-2% range, so around $90k per month. That's under $600 per unit for a 156 unit complex.Did the apartments descend into chaos or the idiots living there?
