this was wack honestly. portland doesn't give a shit about ADA or disabled people, they are just using this to target homeless people. in fact portland's anti-homeless shit has made the city so much worse for disabled people. and "disabled people" and "homeless people" is a pretty overlapping group anyway, seems absurd to pit those groups against each other when most disabled people I know have been homeless, are housing insecure (being disabled is expensive), disabled due to housing issues, etc.
it is very hard to find parks here that have full sized benches, public single stall accessible restrooms, covered areas, and drinking fountains, because they don't want to provide amenities that would make camping easier, even if these amenities are also necessary to use the park at all for many disabled people.
The bus stops have been being built with tiny little seats attached to the poles instead of full benches and shelters (to discourage sleeping on the benches, but it also means only one person can get to sit while waiting for the bus, which means my cane-using ass has to sit on the curb a lot).
but of course they aren't campaigning about that as an ADA issue are they? because improving these things would improve life for homeless people. so they cherry pick the one ADA violation by the city (there are so fuckin many) that also aids their agenda to torment homeless people.
so yeah it's not really the intersection they think it is. and even if it was the issue, their solution is always going to be sweeps and government camps, when solution should be free housing for any who want it, and more public amenities so that if people want to camp they can have a place to ditch their trash and go to the bathroom and shower.
portland government hates homeless people and disabled people
