While the politicians and NIMBY's were concerned about people camping outside and how that made them uncomfortable for the past few years, around 1500 people died in Multnomah County due to fentanyl overdose. Every few hours someone is dying due to overdose. This is not just unhoused people, but an epidemic affecting everyone in the community. Every single death is preventable, but instead of investing in real solutions programs keep being gutted to fund things like making the people most at risk of death criminals.
