Portland’s homeless population has started constructing “tiny homes” on streets across the city made out of wood and plywood, which resemble livable homes.
Video footage taken by Kevin Dahlgren, an Oregon resident known for documenting Portland’s homeless crisis, shows that multiple wooden tiny homes have been erected on streets across the city.
Dahlgren wrote on X that some homes are equipped with sporting activities, while others are being used for drugs and prostitution.
The Democrat-run city has been eviscerated by homeless vagrants over the past several years, which has resulted in residents fleeing the downtown corridor to escape open-air drug use or becoming a violent homeless repeat offender’s next victim.
However, with the city of Portland’s war on police, which began in 2020 following the police-involved death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, lawmakers passed laws that tied police officers’ hands, preventing them from taking action to address the crisis, which frequently takes the progressive guise of “having compassion” for the so-called “less fortunate.”

Individuals took to social media to question if homeless vagrants have to apply for permits to construct homes like the rest of Portland’s population. People also questioned where they were able to get the supplies to construct the tiny homes.
“Surely, they are paying thousands of dollars for permits. Good on them,” one individual wrote on X.
“But I need permission and inspection to build a shed in my yard,” wrote another.
Another user added, “Where are they getting all of the wood? I wonder if it’s from pallets? It looks too nice to be from pallets, and it’s costing so much right now. It seems strange that a homeless person can find the wood to build a home & many ppl can’t afford wood for small projects.”
