Portland residents cry out for help as homelessness spreads across parts of the city — including their front yards.
“I want to cry,” Christina Hartnett, a resident, told KGW8.” I just want my house back. My lawn is now becoming a public bathroom.”
Hartnett said she has lived in her neighborhood for five years, and she is now fearful of leaving her house just to get to work.
“When you have grown men meth raging in your driveway, the last thing I feel safe doing is going out and saying, ‘Hey, can you please move so I can go to work?'” she said.
