There are areas of PDX that I didn’t think twice about going into 5 years ago. Now I won’t allow my kids to go to downtown or areas where gunfire can breakout at any moment.
My wife had a co-worker recently sell her place in PDX and head further outside the city. When she bought it the neighborhood was quiet and safe. It turned into roaming homeless and gunfire over the last couple of years.
PDX is run by radical leftists top to bottom. Everything they touch turns to shit. They’re Kobe’s type of progressives.
My friends drove through it in the way to cda from California.... it's crazy... they refuse to go back it's such a mess... sad.
And still the so-called city leadership likes to pretend that the tourists are just about to come back. Nope. They also like to pretend that blocks of downtown are ripe for commercial development by property developers who can't wait to pay for low income housing as a bribe for building property that the city will not protect.
KOIN News has been doing a series "Is Portland Over". Yes, it is. Until the idiot voters decide they want to save a once beautiful city and clean out the GD trash currently running that ShitShow.
Portland is living proof of the utter stupidity of the DIM voter. All of the people they elect are F'n idiots and morons. Every last one of them is a lunatic. But they're not Republicans so the Sheeple that walk around wearing their worthless masks keep on voting for them.
I hate that City now. And I blame it on the voters more than anything else. It gives the whole region a bad name.
