PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Two Portland development companies have filed a lawsuit in order to evict a homeless tent camp across the street from a hotel they are renovating.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reports (https://is.gd/eval8r ) that developers of the Grove Hotel filed a lawsuit arguing the homeless camp violates Portland’s zoning codes and permitting rules and that it impedes redevelopment in the neighborhood.
The developers argue the camp, known as Right 2 Dream Too, interferes with the renovation at the hotel by reducing neighborhood property values.

The Portland City Council voted in February 2016 to move the camp a different neighborhood, but a ruling by Oregon’s land-use board blocked the move.
