Is Portland over?

No, not CNN.

I read it on the bathroom wall of a casino.

Pretty damned astute, those gamblers.

Almost as good as:

"Here I sit in stinking vapor,

Someone stole the toilet paper;

Shall I sit here and just linger?

No by god I'll use my finger."

Note they both relate to the removal of feces clinging on.

Is this the final nail in the old girl's coffin?

Gotta blame BLM and antifa for this rapid slide from grace to disgrace.

Why do they need to return to downtown offices?
Let them do the work from home
I had a home office before I retired
I loved working from home

It doesn't really matter what you like, the important thing is what an employer requires.

Don't like it?

Quit.

No, it is all these "woke" clowns that are stabbing Portland in the heart.

Ironic, eh?

"Keep Portland Weird" really was prophetic.

Portland can convert those vacant offices into apartments and put the homeless in them. Two problems solved.

The homeless situation is going to get a lot worse. Four in ten adults report having difficulty paying their living expenses. To make it more entertaining for them, the dems are bringing in three million more homeless illegals annually to compete with them for jobs, food and housing.

NYC is about to pass a law legalizing basement apartments. Despite most of them being fire traps.

The woman the democrat party tried to install as our Mayor, by feeding 135,000 fake ballots into the voting machines prior to the election, until Adams caught them, wanted to legalize backyard sheds as rentals.

This is all leading to the point where states and cities will pass laws requiring homeowners to rent vacant apartments to the homeless.

I don't buy this BS for a second

Want to solve the homeless problem?

Easy!

Two words: "Soylent Green."

Street racing in stumptown...the carnage mounts.

Portland puts out a map for locals and tourists to see which parts of town are more likely to result in them being shot.

I kid you not: stick a fork in stumptown, she's done.

Most cities don't report their true crime statistics. Even the never believable FBI didn't bother to publish their never believable uniform crime statistics this year, because even they admit the stats are false and under reported.

These rates are definitely not reliable, but this site compares crime rates between American cities.
