Residents of Oregon’s most populous city dealt with unprecedented homicides, rising property crime and a general feeling of “lawlessness” during 2022, but Portland leaders have taken some steps to set a different tone for the new year.<\/p>\n

“The rise in crime and the houseless and homeless population, that continues to be a challenge that I think the city is starting to get their arms wrapped around,” business owner Katherine Sealy told Fox News.<\/p>\n

The city set a new homicide record for the second year in a row, with more than 90 recorded killings so far<\/a>. The city is considering a proposal to put controversial <\/a>gunshot detection technology<\/a> in the five most violent Portland neighborhoods, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting.<\/a><\/p>\n

Total violent crime increased marginally in 2022, but property crime rose 16% between January and October compared to the same period last year. Thefts, vandalism and frightening encounters with people experiencing mental health crises have prompted many businesses to leave<\/a> the city.<\/p>\n

“With the police force, overburdened people think they can do anything now,” Carol, a longtime Portland resident, told Fox News in September<\/a>. “I feel like it won’t always be like this, but right now we’re in the midst of \u2026 lawlessness.”<\/p>\n

Police response times to emergencies hit levels not seen in at least a decade, according to Portland Police Bureau data<\/a>, with the average high-priority call waiting upwards of 20 minutes for a response in October. Loretta Guzman, whose caf\u00e9 was vandalized after advertising a Coffee with a Cop event, said her customers tell her it’s like the police have “almost disappeared.”<\/p>\n

“They have questions like, \u2018Where are the police? How come they can\u2019t come?\u2019” Guzman said in late October<\/a>. “We used to see them all the time.”<\/p>\n

Police have blamed the problem on staffing shortages, but the bureau may soon get some relief. There are now 804 sworn members, building back from a low of 773 in September, according to the bureau<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The end of 2022 showed some signs of change on the horizon.<\/p>\n

Voters ousted far-left<\/a> City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty in favor of the more moderate Democrat Rene Gonzalez, whose campaign offices were vandalized twice in the run-up to the election. Portlanders also voted to overhaul their government<\/a> by more than doubling the number of City Council members and scrapping the city’s commission system.<\/p>\n

And as the continuing homeless crisis pushed residents and business owners to their breaking point, the City Council in November passed a ban on street camping.<\/a><\/p>\n

“We deal with break-ins, we deal with assaults,” Darren Marshall, the CEO of a tea company, told Mayor Ted Wheeler during a meeting of business owners last month, OPB reported<\/a>. “This afternoon we had an explosion around the corner from us. Fire everywhere. That\u2019s the world that we live in every day.”<\/p>\n

The council approved $27 million of the city budget to create designated outdoor areas for homeless people to camp. The ban will roll out over the next year and a half as campsites are built.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
