It's the downtown area, for crying out loud. It's the center of the city itself. It's not some suburb nobody ever goes to, get real. What do you do with this, ignore it? Multiply it by 50 and that's Portland. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 96 Posts: 3092 | The most glaring problem today with Portland is the homeless issue, and it's not limited to here. The riots and mayhem have ended, at least for now. Blame it on what you will: covid craziness, a limp-wristed mayor, whatever: it has changed the way the world views stumptown for the worst. No, it's not "over" but this is no longer a place I'd want to move to seeking a better life, like I did in 1976. Too bad, it was a fun ride while it lasted. |

I'm sure you are wrong. While you were gone terrapined reported that it was the most wonderful place he's ever visited in the United States. He could find absolutely nothing wrong with it and it was a delight down every street. You think I'm joking go and read read his posts in this thread. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I see it everywhere Yea PDX has a lot Eugene vs Springfield is an interesting dynamic. 2 towns right next to each other Eugene leans left and tries to deal with the issue where as Springfield leans right and doesn't allow it Whos right?
What place has not changed? Its the way of the world By the way Riccardos Ristorante in Lake Oswego is excellent Had dinner there twice Old friend works there Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
