Portland is getting what deserves. A once proud city continues to lower standards, conditions, and goes the socialist/liberal way, down the tubes. An 18% rise in murders, most involving homeless in some way, and the city does nothing to discourage the blight of homelessness. What could go wrong?

We passed one lady that was standing in a doorway screaming to the top of her lungs - at something going on in her head, it appeared, she was completely bats. We gave her wide berth - but she was destined to attack someone or hurt or kill herself.
Only a Progressive mind would find that leaving her on the streets is “compassionate”
