Yes, maintenance and trash trucks showed up this morning. Also
trucks full of fencing.

The confrontation is a block removed from the park blocks, which
were occupied by the police, after a lot of the big stuff was moved
out by non-police.

A big party happened last night, where Portland converged on OPDX to
demonstrate support and declare victory at a symbolic level, without
really changing the plan to shut down at this location (that process
had been underway).

Lots of gear is making the nomadic lifestyle more attractive, and
having green spaces in and around cities that allow overnight
camping may be developed. There's also just camping on private
land. I should read up on the Gypsy Laws so-called:

I'm looking and bicycle trailers in particular, as that's what we
use in the parks with FNB. Then of course, we have BizMos.
