The business owners shall soon receive offers they can’t refuse, or better not refuse.

“60 nights of civil rights protests in the city’s core” Still in denial.That was terrorism, not protests.

I guess the 'burn it down so a new forest can grow' strategy didn't quite work out as planned.

Who is going to invest a penny in that $h!thole?

Beat the crap out of the rioters, push out all the bums, and let businesses move in. It ain’t hard. It could be done in days. Easily.

“We just need it quickly,” said Adam Milne, the owner of Old Town Pizza & Brewing, whose downtown location is currently closed. “A lot of business owners are stuck trying to decide what to do. If this plan gets developed in three months, it’s going to be too late for a lot of businesses.”

Don't be so naive. That would be my recommendation. By the time that Wheeler figures out that a major city actually needs police, the rioters will burn you out.

Who the hell would want to try to have a business there if the mayor and city counsel won’t defend them against looting and arson?

There’s nothing left to revive. Not to mention, who would want to visit that shithole.

If I visit Oregon, it will be to windsurf in the Columbia River Gorge, or to hang out with the seals and sea lions on the coast (we’re bros). Not to go to Portland.

They can’t erase memories. And those memories will last for at least a generation. Richmond, Minneapolis, Chicago are in the same jam.

The excitement of nightly battles with police is like a salt lick for the maladjusted and mis-medicated, AKA the Left.

Portland’s city government has openly sided with terrorists and anarchists - no sane business person would attempt to engage in commerce in that environment.

Downtown Portland will be another Detroit for decades to come.

The three-page document focuses on five target areas: Promoting public safety, addressing issues around homelessness and graffiti, cleaning up trash and developing a downtown retail strategy.

And keeping Trump's feds away they forgot to say.

A plan to fix the city by the guy who destroyed the city.

Makes as much sense as electing Biden to fix the 43 years of messes he created.
