    Decriminalization of drugs has nothing to do with where camps exist in Portland. PBOT is responsible for clearing camps throughout the city, and camps have to be reported for PBOT to know about them. When their crews get around to addressing them, they get about a week usually to pack up their things and move. To another place in the city.

        The last camp swept at the park across from my house was almost a week. Posted on Sunday, cleared on Friday morning.

        Honestly, seems pretty lenient. When I’ve been asked to leave a public space I had to do it right then or be arrested.

          You had somewhere to go.

          And a place for your worldly belongings besides about your person.
