*'''NIMPLE''': '''N'''ot '''I'''n '''M'''y '''P'''ersonal '''L'''if'''E'''. A culture common among physicians, clinicians and mental health practitioners and social workers such as LCSW, CADC and QMHP who work with houseless drug addicts. The characteristics of this culture: Often do not want the general characteristics of their professional clients anywhere near their home. Not surprisingly, these people seek to establish strict boundaries between their professional and personal life. What they advocate professionally often diametrically opposed to what they value in their personal life. They may take the time to go complain about opposing issues that may attract people near their own house that fit the demographic of those they see in their professional life. Instead, they try to push their professional ideas away from where they live and away from their own children/grand children. People who participate in this ideology often don't want anything to do with ideas they pitch or clients they advocate for in their own personal life. As an example, City of Portland's OMF-HUCIRP program coordinator Katie Lindsay advocates for restrooms and safe drug injection sites<ref>https://oregonrecyclers.org/sites/oregonrecyclers.org//files/aor_2018_fall_forum_presentations.pdf</ref>(page 26), and suggested to homeless people to RV camp in Walmart parking lots.<ref name="HUCIRPLindsay"/>(page 8) However, When there was an impending threat that such destination was about to establish near her own personal house in Sherwood, she became a vocal opponent and voiced oppositions on the account of speculated "transient activities" "public intoxications" and "heavy crime"<ref name="HUCIRPLindsay"/>, which are essentially the same thing she is encouraging by promoting safe injection sites in some other people's backyard. Heather Hafer, a communications officer for the City of Portland OMF criticized citizens who call her office complaining about vagrancy saying "“I wish more of (the callers) would take a minute to think about what it would be like to not have working plumbing in their homes,” Hafer said, “and practice some empathy before sending profanity-laden threats to senior management and elected officials.”" Yet, she apparently didn't like people showing up to the front of her house in middle of the night. <ref>https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2020/12/portable-toilets-in-southeast-portland-stolen-vandalized-in-escalating-fight-between-city-and-neighbors.html</ref> In contrast, community members in Portland, especially those who are not as affluent as herself have to deal with around-the-clock loitering and prowling by drug addicts.
