If the neighbors were concerned about shit-in-a-bag they'd ask the do-
gooders to provide a port-a-potty. Or provide it themselves. Win-win.
 
Folks are welcome to work their entire lives for their homes, of course.
But that choice does not confer moral superiority or the right to direct
the lives of others.
 
About the backstorythat will inspire pity and social outrage: are we
talking about the hoboes' stories or the one told above?
 
BTW, I'm not a hobo but I do love your city. It is my favorite city in
the US.

They tried porto-potties downtown LA about ten years. Became havens for drug use and prostitution, which is a bit inexplicable to me. Even my dick wouldn't stay hard in a skid row shitter.
 
Now if I can make my goal of $100,000 in the bank, I am going to hobo in style. I also want to go to Gathering Of The Juggalos at least once in my life.

I'm glad you like Portland, but the 'homeless' population is getting out of control. The downtown is full of aggressive panhandlers, open intoxication, and increased violence. The Springwater Trail, a 40 mile bicycle path encircling the city, has become lined with homeless camps. The freeway embankments are open trash dumbs as the 'homeless' just throw their trash to the bottom of the hill. Many fires from open fire pits.
 
These 'homeless' communities are becoming permanent, they seem to be the seeds to slums that one sees in Mumbai and Manila.
 
Not a sense of superiority, but it is troubling to the decreased safety and quality of life for those who are paying a mortgage, and those but-for-the-grace-of-God-go-I unfortunates. Not to mention the tuffs and thugs who prey on both.
