Aw c'mon, Portland is fine guys!

'It's a hollowed out shell': Portland business owners say they're fleeing crime-ridden Dem-led city en masse after it turned from the 'crown jewel of the West Coast' into criminal-run city

"Business owners are fleeing Portland in droves amid a pronounced rise in crime and homelessness, officials in the Democratic stronghold have revealed.

Public data shows that since the pandemic, more than 2,600 downtown businesses have filed changes of address with the U.S. Postal Service to leave their downtown ZIP codes.

Several big-name employers, such Umpqua Bank, have been among the mass exodus, carried out by owners who have taken issue with the rising crime levels and homelessness - and the city's failure to address it."

See! Everything's fine! Nothing to see here, move along! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
