Dumbasses to go there in the first place. Maybe they were uninformed?
Moved after 25 years in Portland back to Montana in July 2022. Leftists completely destroyed that city which was 50/50 politically when I moved there.
Vote Democrat!
No glass store in Portlandia?................
How could this happen in a city dominated by Democrats? Strange.
Everything Woke turns to Shit
Democrats are all-in to make Portland, Detroit, and SF the American way of life everywhere
I’ve only been to Portland once. A long time ago, and I doubt I’ll ever return.
“he’d lived here from 2017 to 2020”
Gee, I wonder what could have happened around 2020 to turn Portland into an open festering sore in less than 3 years?
What a mystery.
“Michigan couple visits Portland on vacation”
It’s easy to call these people dumb, but not everyone is addicted to FR, so given the near-blackout on urban violence and decay it’s no surprise that they’re shocked by what they see. They should be THANKFUL that they lived to talk about it, as many people don’t come out alive when they visit these areas (again because the media no longer reports on it, due to stigmatizing the Amish).
I wonder if the rental car companies are going to exit Portland? If this is a consistent problem in the city, the liability of leaving a car unattended overnight may be prohibitive?
Is everyone in Michigan that stupid?
For many years my wife and I used to drive to Portland frequently to visit the zoo, the malls, and other stores. And they also had some restaurants that we liked to go to.
Oregon had no sales tax while we were paying around 10% in Washington. This can come up to a lot when you are buying high dollar items.
Nearly ten years ago we visited Portland on an overnight trip we went to a military vehicle event that my wife had a display set up at. We met R. Lee Ermy there and he was incredibly nice to talk to.
We stayed in a pretty nice place for several days. I took along my kayak and our dog and I paddled around in the Columbia River.
But there were bums all over the place everywhere that we went to. I had never seen so many. And there was broken car glass in every parking lot we went to. I was nervous about leaving our van for very long when I was out in the Kayak because I could not find a place to park where there were not people hanging out and making a mess.
"Longer term, they’re working to restaff the Portland Police Bureau, deploying officers where they’ll have the most impact."
How's that defunding the police, replaced by woke social workers working out for you?
Gee, these dimwits could have saved $1000 on gasoline alone if they had simply been reading FR every day and they would have never even considered going to Portland.
But, another thing I have noticed is that Democrats, and leftists in general, just love to visit Cuba.
There has to be a screw less in the brains of leftists who like to visit hell-holes.
Over the summer a friend of mine drove from Texas to southern California to drive up the California coast to the Canadian border then back again to Texas. Big trip. People along the way were very interested in her trip but in northern California people started telling her to not go to Portland. Lots of people. She bypassed it based on their advice.
don’t they ever read.the.news.? who would pick to go there on purpose?
It is absolutely true, EVERYTHING dimocraps touch turns to crap. The sheeple dont learn that. Ship all illegals to blue states. Make it a structured program. Priortize based on electoral votes. Flood them.
idiots will still pull the D lever
My brother worked his tail off, as a small business man, put two kids through college, and always drove a very used car. After the second one graduated, he treated himself to a nice BMW. Went to Portland this year, to visit the older son. When they recovered his stolen car a few weeks later, it had been stripped of anything of value, and converted into a rolling catalytic converter theft-mobile. Fortunately, it got wrecked beyond repair, so insurance covered most of the loss. Tow truck driver sent him a picture, including the trunk, filled with circular saws, jack stands, and a dozen catalytic converters.
