    Why are you comparing downtown Seattle to small town Oregon? Yeah, they are bums and junkies and criminals in downtown Seattle but they're way smarter than those stuuuuuupid Oregon bums and junkies.

    Stop being a butthurt fag about Oregon
    Sorry, I need to know your annual income and total net worth before I can respect anything you say.

    I remember back in the day there were some hippies that lived by the Willamette River in Eugene, I thought it looked fun, but back then at least they kept it clean... thse jackasses trash the place... just because you are homeless doesn't mean you need to trash your area...

    Clone of Portland. It can be saved, but that would mean no dems, a closed border and lots of criminals in jail and mentally ill in institutions. We don't have that will. The local TV stations just put on the local politicians and frustrated business owner and they all just parrot leftard talking points about "collaboration", "new solutions", "community involvement", "social outreach" etc. The actual solutions are still pretty much verboten in the public square. So, they just put out more pigeon feed and then are shocked that there are more pigeons.

    Solution in Portlandia: Metro (the regional government) to build “affordable housing”. Voters approved it.

    How many years will it take to set up the bureaucracy?
    Let me guess. $500k per unit?

    Driving into PDX tonight on I-5 saw this sign: “posted no trespassing” on a chain link gate to a poor man's castle built on the hillside between the freeway and sound wall. Irony.

    Portland is a GD shithole. And getting worse by the month. F’n transients have sunk a pier and sailboat on the PDX side of the Columbia at Jantzen. The entire bank down to the river looks like a city dump.

    Portland’s way of saying welcome to Oregon. People with pride in the city and state should be embarrassed. But Brown and Wheeler are poor fucking excuses for leaders so nothing is expected of them.

    New bureaucrats will be part of PERS. Factor in the nos.

    Apparently, some of the money will trickle down to actually building some “affordable housing”.

    The worst part is that he didn’t really capture it. You can’t see it all with the camera pointing straight ahead. That drive camera view was generous.

    I’ve been recently and it’s appreciably worse than what he showed. All he had to do is come down from the north and take the Stewart Street exit and that would have told the story.

    It’s a disaster.

    I don’t have the answers. Institution capacity seems like a start.
