‘They Are Loving Us to Death’: Homeless Say Portland’s Policies Make It Too Easy to Live on the Street, Fail to Empower

A recent video of a homeless woman living on the streets of Portland declaring that the city’s policies have failed to empower the homeless population went viral on Twitter, KATU reported.

Kevin Dahlgren, who does homeless outreach for the nonprofit We Heart Portland, posted a candid interview on social media featuring a woman named Wendy, who has been living in a tent on the streets.

When asked what it is like to be homeless in Portland, Wendy tells Dahlgren that “it’s a piece of cake.”

“I mean, that’s why you probably got so many out here because they feed you three meals a day,” Wendy told Dahlgren. “You don’t have to do s*** but stay in your tent or party. Or, if you smoke a lot of dope, you can do that.”

“It’s a piece of cake…you get three meals a day and don’t have to do shit…wake up, eat get high, wake up eat get high” repeat. A homeless woman shared with me why it’s so easy to be homeless.
