It’s what they vote for and voted for.
“... It’s just not sustainable,…”
New use of “sustainable “.
Soon Oregon will only be found in History books
Wouldn’t surprise me if the owner gets a huge fine for “not staying open so that the oppressed can take what they need”
This Nation is rushing headlong into anarchy. The lawlessness at all levels is breathtaking.
E’en so, Lord Jesus, quickly come.
What the corrupt and inept leftists said: “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.”
What they should say: “The major’s office has tasked the police force with doubling in size, finding, arresting and incarcerating the low-life SOB slime that damaged the businesses.”
This will not stop until we take care of the left. I leave “take care” to each city. Hopefully, it will NOT be nice to the left. Not nice at all.
Portland police leave 911 calls on hold for hours, then closed them without response.. Jan. 2021
As this store closes it pushes the thieves into a smaller pool of possibles. The theft rate increases for the remaining stores and the ball starts rolling towards others businesses leaving
“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.”
Muzzle flash provides very good storefront lighting....
Just sayin’...
But how many hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars went to sending these idiots to a ‘retail safety summit’ and paying for their transportation, food, travel and per diem.
Dumbasses.
That’s correct. They should embrace the suck, they voted for it. My well of sympathy has run dry.
Portland should offer a “Rooftop Korean” grant.
The Pacific northwest coast is a magnet for schizophrenics.
Reality wins!
Violation of Directive 10-289
Everyone knows what the crime issue in every city is, but can’t/won’t say it.
Hell, most here won’t even say it.
Portland Demographics White: 75.32% Asian: 8.65% Two or more races: 6.37% Black or African American: 5.89% Other race: 2.31% Native American: 0.80% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander: 0.66% Portland, Oregon Population 2022
The powers that be won’t fix this because they can’t. They are pure ideologues. They don’t have (and don’t seem to need) even the old fashioned politicians instinct to survive.
This company sells $500 coats.......if that business model is sustainable in this economy they shoulda cut their losses and moved after the 1st break-in.
Also a Portland coffee company founded in 1900 is eaving Oregon for Texas.
Sounds like a real a jailbreak
