    I haven’t been there in over a decade other than a short family visit like 5 years ago. By my understanding, Portland decriminalized drug use a few years ago and the result was that homeless drug users started pouring in from all over the country because they weren’t going to get harassed. So lots of drugged out people all over the city, with all the baggage that comes with it. It seems Portland might be looking for ways to reign it in.

      “by my understanding” have you considered supplementing your understanding with literally any evidence before confidently asserting the fakest, /r/ThatHappened sounding understanding of the city of Portland humanly possible. this is on the level of conservatives who think the city was taken over by Antifa supersoldiers and burned to the ground every week in 2020
