Possible to live in forest park homeless(stealthily of course) (Portland: schools, prices)

Again, there's been much worse said here than what he just typed, and you didn't yelp about that. Can't have it both ways.

What people are probably laughing about is a bunch of seniors chasing their tails over a homeless guy.

And believe it or not I DIDN'T start out this way, with an attitude towards Mexicans, I used to like them, seriously.. Then I started living around them, and THEY changed me.. So if your going to blame someone, blame your fellow tecate swilling lazy dirty compadres for making a non-racist into a part-racist!!

Speak American? Mexico is in North America.

And every night I sleep I find different spots in the park.. How many homeless actually do this? I'll bet most of them put up a tent and keep it up for a least a few nights..I wouldn't do that.. But do cops actually go into the woods at night looking for homeless?

for several years. Large homeless population. Some mentally ill, some addicted, some victims of something or the other, a few prefer it. No one has more than they could carry. They prey on each other so no one leaves a tent or sleeping bag anywhere. They pick climates that are warm the year round; tourists areas are popular since they fix on the tourists as marks. Many empty houses here to crash in. Hostels to sleep in; food canteens all over. Cops move them along. No one loiters.

If you haven't noticed, no one (seniors included) really cares anymore about this guy.
If you didn't post on this thread and keep bumping it up, it would probably die a very quick death.
Why do you insist on keeping it alive?

It seems like you crave the attention that you're getting?

Great idea!

But in honor of this threads Original Poster, Senor Homelessadvocato, I propose that we share our favorite "Mexican" owned businesses.

My vote is for the restaurant "Super Torte" with locations in Oregon City, and on Woodstock Blvd, a little east of 52 Ave.

Tienda Santa Cruz #2 in St. Johns. Awesome Mexican bakery and market, plus some of the best tacos and tortas in Oregon...

But probably the best taco stand I've found in the area is Ochoa's Lupitas on Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway near Jesuit High. Oh man, those tacos are so good and cheap($1) and they have every type of Mexican meat filling from al pastor and chicharon to barbacoa and birria de chivo--plus they have an amazing salsa bar(especially for such a small stand).

I don't think you're really getting that I'm not the one(s) constantly yelping for this thread to "die;" it doesn't matter to me what it does. I just think it's weird that some of you are actually messaging others trying to bully them into jumping on your bandwagon. It's an Internet forum, that's all.

If I'm getting attention here, at least it's keeping you lot from piling up on someone else. And honestly, I do not enjoy attention from creepy old men.

So as not to stereotype our tecate swilling, circus music blaring brethren, I think that it would be a great thing to include non food businesses also!

By the way, I wonder if HA realizes that sound of "circus music" he is hearing is a direct result of German and Eastern European immigrants settling in Mexico during the 1800's that influenced mexican music with their music, such as polkas, etc.....

It would probably get turned around and said that the Mexicans had stolen it from the white people.
