That's good reason to eat alone. Same thing with Portland. Just avoid the idiots and it's almost Shangri-La. |

missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 96 Posts: 3092 | There is little love lost between Seattle and Portland. I lived briefly in Seattle in 1980 and liked it back then: sort of busy but laid back, like Portland was fifteen or so years ago. Now both cities have plummeted in my estimation due to leftist politicians coddling homeless and BLM/antifa. But I ain't moving ... yet. |

I'm all over downtown on my bike Parking is absurd around the space needle Parked about 6 blocks away for a discount I feel pretty safe in this town despite seeing homeless Just visited the guitar that Jimmi Hendrix used at Woodstock to play the Star Spangled Banner Of course I bended the knee Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

It is only going to keep getting worse. The funny thing is liberals cry about "income inequality" yet the places they have the most government power have the most income inequality. Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, and some others are turning into Brazil. Namely some well off areas for the wealthy surrounded by slums of poor. The President is a fink. |

I don't know why people can't see that. But I see people doing it all the time. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

With people rioting and the homeless literally crapping on the sidewalks and shooting up in the public parks. You and I have different visions of Shangri-La. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
