jerry pdx Used to be all the blacks lived in N. Portland and Whites everywhere else. Now thanks to a large influx of blacks, gentrification of the former "ghetto", government housing assistance and low income housing projects throughout the metro area, blacks are everywhere. Then one of our former woke mayors, Charlie Hales, declared it was unconstitutional to enforce no camping ordinances and along with the city counsel set up homeless services that gave them 3 squares a day along with a multitude of other services, homeless started camping out wherever there was an open space and other homeless around the country started flowing in...they're still coming. They've got nothing to do all day now except watch people's homes getting a sense of when they're home or not, then steal stuff off the porch in the backyard or even break in. Not to mention all the crap they strew around which attracts rats and then has to be cleaned up by the city (paid for by the White middle class taxpayer). Hispanic population is increasing also, just spotted a Freedom Bus from Texas half a mile north of my folks house, these buses ship in migrants from the border so it's a sign that they're shipping in even more. Then there the various muslim, paki and other oddball migrants all over town, they're mostly men and you see them everywhere. Sometimes when I'm at the gym it seems like half the guys there are recent immigrants but you don't see very many female ones.
Take all that away, and the city wouldn't be much different than is was 50 yrs. ago.
portland is a city, essentially a legal construct/entity -- it has no agency and cannot 'self-destruct'
specific policies enacted by particular, identifiable people, perhaps over a somewhat lengthy period of time, are responsible for the problems seen today in portland
Obviously, using the word destruction is hyperbole designed to emphasize a point, nobody is saying or believes the city is going to be obliterated by a bolt of lightning from the heavens.
Obviously, conservatives (aka conservatards) too often fail to diagnose problems and the reasons they occur, hence they usually lose and have practically ceded control of society to 'libtards'.
How often have you heard dumb shit like 'Democrat run city' (when the problem is usually black criminality), or 'Democrats are the real racists'? -- there is perhaps no better example of this than the current massive problem of asylum at the southern border: I have never heard a single conservative correctly identify the problem, or suggest appropriate solutions that have a chance of working.
What was one of the first things Kevin McCarthy did after being confirmed speaker? -- he started reading the Constitution on the House floor -- that is retarded clown world bullshit that will accomplish nothing (but then accomplishing nothing while being handsomely compensated is a Republitard specialty).
It's vapid and banal and therefore unhelpful to say something like 'Portland self destructs' -- yeah, we know: Portland has become shithole-ish -- the questions are: how did this happen? -- who is responsible? -- and perhaps most importantly: what can be done about it?
A remark about the last question (what to do): the situation is clearly very difficult, there is a LOT of inertia in government, and many of the problems are related to feminization, race, and other sensitive topics that set the media off -- which is one reason people now speak more openly about separation -- some kind of secession.
AGAIN? I thought they did that every weekend.

Portland, OR more or less gone as it used to be Portland OR was always thought of as being the ideal place USA to live that is long gone now
ReplyDeleteWe looked at it in the 90s, and even then it had a seriously creepy vibe. It just felt wrong in a way I couldn't put my finger on.
