how can it get worse? With the addition of 8 more clowns posing as city commissioners beginning next year will make measure 110, drug legalization, appear as child's play comparatively, all bought on by the hardcore Portland leftist voters...
Neither. The whole area is just being gentrified for more wealthy people. It took two decades for SF to do what Portland has done in three years. Pricing out the middle class.
Isn't that great Democrats passed a law allowing hard drugs to be used more people get on it price of real estate goes down and billionaires swoop in. And then guess what Democrat politicians get another kickback
I go to NW Portland for medical treatment at Good Samaritan. Bypass downtown by using 405 and turning off at Everette. The number of people camped along the freeway and on the off streets is staggering. I don't understand where the millions of dollars which is suppose to be used to end homelessness is going?
Oh, you know where it goes.....into the pockets of big greedy developers and other sycophants with their hands out for our tax dollars. That's what you get when you vote in rich elitists like Wheeler....
I don’t know. Was it? The person at the end who sits on the Portland Metro Business Alliance or whatever it is called said at the end while he’s delighted to see so many events and people returning to downtown area he also says people’s concerns over public safety are VERY REAL.
It's actually getting better. It's certainly a start. But obviously it's going to take more time. Even areas on the other side of the river (like the Hollywood District) are improving too.
So the organization who is getting funded to work on recovery did not like the objective report so they held their own study to show improvement. I’m sure that there is no bias there 😂
@@rhondanewell8558 yes we need mental health hospitals and get these people off of drugs and we can do it on the other side of the state. Better for us better for them!

If a couple of streets are safe does that mean all of downtown gets credit. You should be able to walk in most of your city and feel safe. I don't think anyone would say that!
1) convert office buildings to apartments. 2) hire more police offices, the recent 100 is a good start. 3)work with local small businesses to bring back food options. 4) keep trimet reliable and safe 5)repeal measure 110
Are you suggesting building drug dens for the most marginalized group in society? Wouldn't it be more empathetic and appreciated if we got them off drugs?
can't happen, leftists will 'never' permit meaningful penalties for either drug trafficking or use -- they are 'victims' leftists chant in unison... @@King5HurtsChildren-fc3cr
Well, it’s true, when I go downtown, I always stay above Broadway or in the NW Pearl area because the area from Burnside to Hawthorn, Waterfront to 5th is just too damn depressing. The N.W. area Davis to Glisan, Waterfront to Broadway is just as bad.
So the Toronto study only included the blocks between Hawthorne and Burnside, which means it didn't include the utopia known as Old Town/China Town. Think yourself lucky it scored as high as it did.
The fools in charge have no idea what to do or they would have done something by now. We all know where 'downtown' is. The random violence is getting worse. There is no safe place to park and leave your vehicle. Events and shows that end after dark are getting too dangerous to attend. I trust my instincts and stay away.
When criminals are no longer punished crime rates GO UP! Most of us can predict stuff like this but we elect complete imbeciles who STILL don't seem to understand why we are having these crime issues.
When the facts belie the narrative. Change the definition. That is the progressive way. Only one ideology and party to blame for the decay, crime, violence, and chaos you live with today. And the voters that keep reelecting it, expecting change. That is the definition of insanity.

I actually went downtown today and walked around quite a bit today and was surprised.
It looks way better than it did a couple of years ago
Yeah, it's getting better.
Not perfect, but it's a certainly a start.
How could the city get worse? We only let criminals run rampant without fear of consequences.

I go downtown every weekend and love it. So many great restaurants and interesting things to do. Oldtown is seeing a great resurgance...
It is all lies. Crime is over the top here. 7 car windows in twelve months. No one needs to visit here.
Portland is a dump.

Wealthy people want to live downtown?
@@les0101s wealthy people will live downtown
@@King5HurtsChildren-fc3cr Wealthy people don't want to live in downtown Portland right now. Nobody does.

What you're seeing is drug camps not homelessness. And all that money is going into Democrat pockets and has been for decades. Wake up
Administration. 😂

I was robbed downtown literally three hours ago give me a break.
You look like an easy mark. Maybe toughen up a little?
Let me know when Saturday Market opens up again. That's my metric. Otherwise, these are Rookie numbers, accelerate.
It’s been active for most of the period including after the pandemic. It’s open this Saturday, again, as usual.
Uh. It has been opened

This story is called polishing a turd.
Might be getting better, but will always be stained.
Repeal M110 and watch how fast the city bounces back.
So mental health services aren’t important to you?
Actually READ M110.

No one can say that about any city, anywhere in the world.
All lies
Went downtown at night for the first time in a while a couple nights ago. It was horrible. Tragic to see that much human suffering.
I try to look the other way - helps a lot!
Well at least Democrats will get their politicians for lowering the real estate value for the billionaires to swoop in and buy it
Portland Metro Chamber New Study says: Turn a blind eye
I saw the title of this video and laughed so loud my dog was startled. The mayor must have called KGW News and asked for a courtesy story. Lol

Celebrating sin has consequences
I do not think the city can take credit for workers. Most were told come in to the office or lose your job.
Upswing ? Lol
Move it's not going to change.
I did.
Move now be happy

Let's go Portland!
All you gotta do is drive downtown and take a look-see. Judge for yourself…it’s a crime ridden sewer
and those few folks one might see walking about? Most are tourists who don't know better...
I am watching this from Minnesota. I am not happy to see that Minneapolis is just above Portland at 40%. I guess we have some work to do ourselves.
welcome to Downtown Potland
i love teleworking save on gas

We have WAY more transient druggies out on the streets. We just need to tax the remaining tax payers more to give them cell phones.
And force every household to take in one drug addict
