Where does he stand on disobeying soon-to-be federal and possibly-to-be state orders to participate in putting unhoused and undocumented people into work camps?

Welcome to the lemmy.world community for Portland, Oregon!
This community has kind of been empty since it was created, I'm hoping to change that!
Unlike "other" Portland communities you may have seen "elsewhere", I believe in a "warts and all" approach. You are free to take off your Rose tinted glasses and talk about topics that are dragging our city down.
At the same time, sunset pics, snowmageddon, traffic monster, cones, that's all welcome as well. Let's collectively keep Portland weird!
2024 is going to be an interesting year politically with all the changes to city government, I will attempt to tag political threads with a [Politics] tag and encourage users to do so as well.
Other than the lemmy.world restrictions on spam, copyrighted material, and adult material (USE that NSFW tag!), there's only one real way to get in trouble here:
- Don't attack other users.
It's OK to go after Teargas Ted, it's OK to say Rene Gonzales is a fascist, ACAB, BLM, whatever floats your boat (WEFYB).
It's NOT OK to attack or diminish another user. Feel free to disagree, you can point out the many ways you think they're wrong, just don't start throwing perjoratives AT OTHER USERS.

His plan is to establish enough shelter beds for every homeless person in the city, then crack down on illegal camps, zombie RVs, junked out cars, etc.
Camping won't be tolerated as long as shelter space is available.
"Wilson’s basic idea is that the city will set up two dozen temporary overnight shelters in existing buildings, like churches and community centers. He imagines those shelters will reach peak capacity in late 2025 and then be able to scale back down as people who formerly lived outdoors leave Portland or find housing. He’d also like to open new day centers offering meals, showers, laundry and services aimed at helping people become employed and housed.
Wilson says that once those services are available all across town, he will take a hard line on enforcing the city’s camping ban and will not hand out tents or tarps. Though he hopes that compassion and resources will be enough to convince most of those living outside to come indoors, he said arrest and the threat of jail may be necessary to show how serious the city is about enforcing its laws."
