Portland's city council amended the proposal to expand from three camps of 500 residents to six camps of 250 residents to address concerns over potential safety issues.
Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty, the single holdout on some measures in the new proposal, called the measure to ban the camps"cruel and inhumane" and criticized the proposals for a lack of clarity on how authorities could actually enforce them.
"I’ve had numerous people tell me it would be the politically smart thing to do to vote yes on this resolution, and frankly it would be easy for me to do that," Hardesty said.
