We were in Portland last year for my niece’s wedding and where we were at downtown, it was fine but there were areas where my sister said to avoid due to homeless, drugs etc. Too bad as its a beautiful state.

The solution is simple. Portland should just raise property taxes by 57%.
Why do I have to think of everything?

Liberals never, ever equate their policies with their problems.

The reaction to their problems is always to double down on the policies that caused them in the first place.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

When Terry McAuliffe was DNC Chair and John Kerry lost to George W. Bush, his reaction to a reporter’s question about why they lost for being ‘too liberal’, he immediately snapped back, “It’s because we weren’t liberal enough!”

A recent quote from Tampon Tim was nearly an identical quote.................

[Skooz]

Play stupid games …

I can’t believe they stayed as high as they were for this long.

Unexpected.

Break a few windows and property devalues and makes it easy to buy up.

According to the Soviet Agent, the West Coast belongs to China.

Portland progressives are going to ‘double down’ to Infinity!

[equaviator]

Shortland is the new Portland.

[quantim]

Who ever heard of a city that uses “arts and culture” to reduce crime, homelessness, drug addicts... /s

[right way right]

Time for China to invade.

[I want the USA back]

Have anything to do with the fact that the politicians in Portland in 2020 allowed the city to be taken over by anarchists who created a fenced-off, booby-trapped autonomous zone?

[i_robot73]

“further crippling essential services like police and fire departments. Despite this crisis, city official...propose unrealistic solutions like shifting the focus to arts and culture.”

Leftist SOP: Don’t terminate the ILLEGAL govt spending, make sure EVERYONE suffers ‘cuz the non-taxpayer-leeches don’t wanna be the piggy-bank or suffer the Leftist policies.

Defund the Police!
