"Sky-is-falling fearfulness" is real.
Every comment that is printed here is true. Portland is being taken over by drug addicted homeless people who want no help from the city services. The homeless camps out number the city parks. Local government will do nothing because they are worried about hurting someone’s feelings. Mayor Ted Wheeler and city commissioner Joanne Hardesy have ruined any hope of our city recovering from the desperate destruction by the homeless drug users and dealers. It is NOT a crime in the city of portland to steal a car or to steal, or shoplift any merchandise from any nationality recognized chain store. Kroger, Target, Trader Joe’s and other stores will not prosecute, arrest or even call the Portland Police Department for any reason … one reason being that PPD just refuses to answer calls. I have witnessed people walking out of these stores with shopping carts full of merchandise, past "security" and out to the parking lot without being stopped or questioned. City officials known that the majority of the residents in Portland, are still bleeding hearts and do not mind having the increase of store prices go through the roof and being passed on to them.. Now because of the higher fuel prices I noticed more and more "normal" people, residents shoplifting also. There is a "if they can do it so can I" attitude here in Portland, OR. now. It’s just so sad. It’s becoming a third world city … correction… it IS a third world city.
I wish everything I write above was false, but I have personally witnessed all of the above in the past 12 months. It was not like this 3 years ago and it was nothing like this 10 years ago (though car break ins were as common back then as they are today).
I've lived in many cities around the world, sadly Portland has become one of the worst. Such a shame.
