Another big issue
Rove has lost something off his fastball
Thank God that my daughter and her boyfriend sold their NE Portland condo in the fall of 2019, pre-covid, at the top of the east Portland market and moved to Bend. Decline is a choice and dems have chosen.

Portland Real Estate Nightmare[/b]
In Friday’s LinkSwarm, I had a link that asked if Portland was finally sobering up.
Well, for a lot of people and businesses, it’s too late. Such as Kevin Howard, for whom the City of Portland refused to do anything about the homeless people breaking into his property and trashing the place.
And who then fined him because the place was trashed.
“This property was listed in January of 2021 for $795,000. Yesterday we sold it for $412,000,” said Howard.
A significant loss, but Howard says he had nothing left in the tank. The tiny piece of property off Southeast Powell Boulevard, a former pizza parlor, has been a nightmare for the past three years.
“The supposed homeless came in and kicked in the door, the front door, and lived in it,” said Howard. “And I waited until they came out, and I had to board it up.”
But Howard says that didn’t do much. They just broke in again and again, living inside and outside, even in his dumpster enclosure which they eventually set on fire. Howard says he got nowhere when he called the police.
“I said, ‘Well, what does a homeowner do? What does a property owner do?’ and they said, ‘Call Central City Concern,'” said Howard. “I said “What will they do?’ and they said, ‘Well, they’ll probably come out and give them a cup of coffee and some hot soup.'”
Howard looked into hiring a security guard, but that was too expensive at roughly $15,000 a month. So, he decided to get a fence, but the wait was four months.
“I said, ‘Why?’ and they said, ‘Because homeowners like mad are fencing their property to keep the, you know, the drug addicts and the homeless out,'” said Howard.
So, the trash piled up, and Howard tried to keep up, but it wasn’t enough. Last summer, the city hit him with a nuisance fine of nearly $540.
Howard paid the fine.
A month later, he got an even bigger bill, the original amount plus a penalty. The city told him they had lost his check. So, he paid the bill again, plus the extra $100.
“Two weeks later, they sent me another bill for 639 dollars and 71 cents,” said Howard. “I called them up, and they said, “Well, this might be a duplicate bill, but we’ve already put a lien on your property.”
“I just remember the phrase ‘The City That Works.’ The city that jerks, I mean, how can you be this dysfunctional?”
Easy. You let Social Justice Warriors take over your city.
This is the expected outcome.

Pence is looking for our tax dollars in his campaign coffer just like the demonrats.

Ouch.
Just don't call it a mental disease.

Have you considered he may be playing 4D chess? He could have set this all up knowing in the end there was nothing he could be prosecuted for. Keeping the opposition focused on what the wanted them focused on.
God gave you a brain. Try using it occasionally. Your anti Trump behavior is like a bot. I don't know how in the world you have the time to reply to every criticism. Do you have a life outside here?

He was a fat out of shape scumbag. I'm shocked he has a platform at all. Most likely the fakes MF out there. He was originally edgy and shock comedy. Now he is a shill to the system.
