The city of Portlands budget hole in 2027 will be $250M+… business license taxes in free fall, reduced real property taxes and highest reduction in single family home asking price of any major city in America, hotels selling at 90% discounts…

All brought to you by 40 years of shitty democrat (communist) policy and final nails in coffin of rank choice voting at 25% + 1 allowing DSA cosplay communist kids into office who have zero business acumen, leadership ability or common sense.

The economic chain reaction isn’t complicated: When people stop feeling safe, foot traffic suffers. When foot traffic suffers, businesses struggle. When businesses struggle, property values and tax revenues come under pressure. Public safety and effective behavioral-health services are not luxuries. They are foundations of a functioning urban economy.

Yet Portland’s leaders have too often treated enforcement, treatment, and accountability as though they conflict with compassion. They don’t.

People experiencing addiction and mental illness deserve real help, and everyone else deserves safe streets. A serious government must deliver both.

You cannot repair a damaged reputation with another task force, another slogan, or another tax increase. You repair it by restoring order, providing effective treatment, protecting commerce, and measuring results instead of celebrating intentions.

Compassion without results is an empty promise. Policy without accountability is an expensive failure. And a city that refuses to govern effectively should not be surprised when investors, businesses, workers, and visitors decide to take their money elsewhere.

Weird. It’s almost like we warned everyone.

It’s almost like all our conversations, with even conservative voices claiming it was all students arrested, were just a co-incidence.

Almost like he’s NOT a U of O “student” at all but part of an organized movement aimed at disrupting conservative voices.

Almost like UO itself confirmed it: “one student and two people not affiliated with the university were arrested at the Alex Stein TPUSA event for disorderly conduct and harassment—after they were warned and kept going.”

Almost, like the group he arrived with didn’t travel a certain distance to be there. Almost.

Almost like maroon jacket and blue jacket (names withheld) were there to assist him in not getting arrested.

Almost like he seemingly hates police officers who treated him with more dignity he deserves.

Almost like perfect timing they travel everywhere: ICE buildings, protests, seemingly in decent clothing, cell phones, equipment (wheelchair optional) almost like they’re part of an ORGANIZED movement.

Almost.

Almost like the “it’s just students” line some people were still pushing doesn’t match what the university reported

We warned everyone a long time ago. We will continue to warn everyone until they listen.
