It’s actually Portland, OR, the Right 2 Dream 2 camp created by houseless folks and their socialist/anarchist allies. It was evicted about two years ago roughly, to make way for…an empty lot, never developed because of the pandemic.

edit: you can tell because of the stuff in the upper left corner. It’s the historic chinatown gate, with the statues flanking it facing the main Burnside boulevard, so it’s clearly located on 3rd ave & West burnside. The picture taker was facing west. Of course, that neighborhood (especially pre-pandemic) has been gentrified to hell. Even “rent control apartments” in that neighborhood are like 900+ a month for a studio, with the difference subsidized by one of the highest individual tax rates in the nation. Of course, there’s no deductible for the state taxes, which means even a homeless person can theoretically “owe” taxes despite not having an address to file them under.

Despite the state violence which evicted this camp, on this very night there are a few dozen sleeping there…on the curb, outside of an anti-climb fence, next to one of the worst streets in the city for drunk driving accidents. I feel terrible for them, and hope no one accidentally runs them over while heading home from one of the irresponsibly re-opened bars

They do that shit all the time and it’s so obnoxious. They used to do it with this picture of empty shelves in a Texas store and say that was Venezuela, but at least with that it was easy to call them out because all the signs were visibly in English.

Shantytown slums aren’t a moral affront, they’re a violation of private property (and safety/hygiene standards if you’re a liberal). If you let the poorest settle down, they’ll, like, form communities and demand votes and public services.

If you zoom in on the left image you end up with the right image.
