You must have minimal experience with Pacific Northwest. Permits? Lol. In most parts of the country, very appropriate question. Not in Portland, SF, or Seattle, however. People post up whenever and however.

Old school rules for Shakedown after a Grateful Dead concert was to set up in vacant lots. The owner won't find out until after it's over, and the police can't get in contact with the owner until the party is over.

I collect the heady artwork and t shirts. Gives kids a fun summer job and pays for their tour.

Did they rent themselves porta-potties and pay for the fencing all nice and neatly laid out like that? I wonder whose name that is all under? Would be interesting to know.

They don't have too. The homeless situation is so out of control here. There are literally dozens of encampments all over the city just like this and way larger, the city provides the porta-potties and washing stations to keep them from just shitting on the ground like they were before. It's a hygiene band-aid on a situation they don't want to handle because it's incredibly politically charged like everything else in Portland...Any opposition to 'just let them do all the drugs they want, steal what they want and live how they want' gets you immediately branded a literal hitler-nazi-bigot who wants to murder oppressed people.

I get it, but they had to know this was coming. The Portland welcoming committee set it all up for them.

OH, AND THANK YOU AGAIN, 4CHAN!! APPRECIATED.
