And this is how in the absence of real systems many homeless people have become the first responders.

"A typical unhinged angry Portlander flipping off cyclists. Portland isnt just passive-aggressive anymoreits openly hostile. His Street Roots shirt says everything. Street Roots is arguably one of the most radicalized nonprofits in the city known for criticizing belittling and insulting anyone who doesnt fall in line with their ideology. They employ homeless individuals to sell their newspapers many of whom reportedly earn only a few dollars an hour. That detail alone should make people uncomfortablebut somehow in Portland it rarely does. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2021321522997289080"

"I have been extensively documenting the homelessness crisis in Vancouver Washingtona city just north of Portland Oregon that is now in a full-blown state of collapse. In some areas the conditions resemble those of the developing world. One of the most shocking aspects is the sheer number of tents packed into such a small geographic area. But tents dont end homelessness. They merely contain it. What ends homelessness is assertive outreach and treating the situation like the crisis that it is. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019209376209465523"
