Letter: Vicious cycle for those in need by Pamela Cromwell – April 8, 2021
That man from Clackamas County is right (letter, “Time to move transient RVs out of Seaside.”) It’s a travesty that people are living in broken-down RVs parked on the street.
And, unlike housed people and the landlords, they’re using alcohol and drugs! Unlike housed people, these people don’t work or contribute anything to society. Yes, they collect returnables and help keep garbage out of the landfill, maybe. But they’re making a profit on that! How dare they! They could be making, like, $50 a day hogging the returnables machine at the grocery store. That’s only 500 cans and bottles. They’re not poor — they just blow all that cash on drugs. And food!
Plus they’re lazy. I don’t know how they manage to find 500 cans and bottles every day seeing as how they’re stoned and asleep most of the time….
