Is Portland over?

Quote: Tanko

Dem voters getting what they voted for.

'Portland families forced to sell their homes as concerns mount over homeless camps'

"Forced"???????
Nobody is being forced.
Total and absolute BS from Tanko
What's going on Tanko?
This is right there with free $430 room a night for LIFE

Don't confuse him, ed: his holier than holy news source, Fox News, labeled it as "forced" so there is no way in hell you'll convince him otherwise.

You do not understand what "forced" means in context. Again, learn to read critically, not literally. Most of us learned that in about fifth grade.

They "chose" to move.

No body held a gun to their head; they could have stayed and waited it out.

The word "forced" was chosen by Fox for its inflammatory properties.

Typical Fox trick.

Yup
People have been moving for centuries for a variety of reasons. One reason is the neighborhood is going downhill. That's been a reason to move since the dawn of mankind getting together to create cities.

....they could have stayed and waited it out.

They tried that at The Alamo.

Of course the homeowners were forced to sell. At least the smart ones were. They protected their equity and moved to higher ground above the invasive species.

The less blessed will try to sit it out.

It's not going to change.

The liberals are too entrenched and the intentionally dumbed down and conditioned voters are too stupid to vote for a change.

It was chosen because it is accurate. I realize liberals like yourself think people should accept a homeless camp in their neighborhood. Accept people turning their sidewalks into an outhouse. All the while the same liberals live in their HOA neighborhoods where they can tell their neighbors how to keep their homes.

Something tells me you cheer when PMSNBC says blacks were "forced" out by gentrification.

Really"

You're "hearing voices," are you?

That explains a lot.

As for Portland's homeless problem: much like a bit of hard stool, "this too shall pass."

I feel bad for the people whose neighborhoods have been inundated by the homeless but they chose to move out; the situation did not "force" a move, it did "induce" them to move.

I can certainly understand them CHOOSING to move.

The Alamo
ROTFL
How about Times Square for a real comparison
Place was a porn sewer back in the day
It was gross
It's made a startling comeback
Neighborhoods come and go

You must live a nice, comfortable life that this kind of thing never intrudes on. But like all liberals, you excuse any social problem that does not affect you directly.

In the 70s you would be the one cheering on school busing while your kids were fine in private school.
