Leafy west coast neighborhood descends into chaos as residents clash with sprawling homeless camp: ‘Like a war zone’

A neighborhood in Portland has spiraled into chaos as the locals clash with those living in a homeless encampment.

Residents in the city’s southeast say the area has become like a ‘war zone’ as tensions continue to rise between locals and the homeless who have lined the streets with tarps and tents.

Lacey, a woman living in the encampment, told KGW8 that someone hit her dog with a car, leaving him with a broken leg and an open gash.
