Yep I saw that.........ice-cream desert????
Oh the humanity!!!!!!
The progressive model copied from CA works well.
Doesn’t it???

“Soon Oregon will only be found in History books”
To a degree.
The sooner that the real Oregon divorces itself from the progressive pit of the Willamette Valley, the better (they’re toxifying the rural schools and populating rural county boards & city councils now, too).
Probably has a We Believe sign on her front door. Harvest what you reap.
The fact of the matter is that most of these business owners are left wing hypocrites.
My $$ is on that here, too, but I have better things to do than expend time to confirm what is probably true.
Portland is 6% black. I’d say that the homeless/ addicts, regardless of ethnicity, are the biggest problem fueling Portland’s crime.
I can copy and paste that statement and apply it to every similar conversation in every liberal infested metropolitan sewer in America. All those fools ever do about any problem is mere window dressing.
$500 coats? Really? What is it made from, the skin of the unicorn? I love some of those expensive items.. $1000 shoes.. typical liberal bs...
The people of Portland have voted for an anti-police, pro-criminal government for years. This is the result. Nothing discredits leftism more than letting everyone see the consequences of those decisions.
“...and now that abandoned parcel can be taken over by the city — at no cost.”
But what do they “think” they can do with it?
I wish someone would have asked her.
I have this theory that people are not voting for this in large numbers. But I can’t prove it.
They’re stuffed with bald eagle down.
And then the town supervisors blame the closings on the owners being racists, and nothing ever changes.
Yep, that’s the ticket. More summits, more conferences, more position papers. Ain’t liberalism grand?
Got to have breakout sessions, can’t have liberal summits without them.
“The mayor’s office also said they participated in a retail safety summit in October, and cited recent efforts to streamline the permitting process for things like storefront lighting.”
And the crime rates weren’t slashed as a result? Go figure.
That being said, when I lived in Seattle the University Village shopping center used to blast classical music, not just for ambience because (I was told) it kept the thugs away.
bill blather watlton was announcing one game....ranting about what a wonderful setting...all the while, the camera showed seemingly endless empty seats....
people should not and can not visit venues where the lives are at stake, so shove it Portland.....truthfully I never understood the Portland mystique...its a cement city with elevated highways and a dirty inner city.....
