    I don't see how it could be one of the greatest places in the world if 2 Starbucks locations are closing.

    Oregon drastically expanded gun control starting in about 2015
    - Instituted Red flag laws

    - Universal background checks for ALL purchases, including private parties (no more gunshow loophole)

    - Storage requirements - If not under your control guns must be stored in a safe or with a trigger lock

    People have obviously gotten fat during the pandemic and don't run as fast.

    Fat + Slow = Easy Target

    A good portion probably gang related. I don’t mind them thinning the herd in their neighborhoods. Just don’t bring that shit to the suburbs

    Once I was driving on 205 south, and some clown in a pickup just like that one, decided I wasn't going fast enough in the fast lane (there was a lot of traffic, and realistically, I could only go so fast because you know, there's a car in front of me). So he flashed his high beams, honked his horn once, and before I even had a chance to get out of the lane, he passed me on the shoulder.

    I chuckled, because the guy then had to stop almost immediately and I switched lanes and got several car lengths ahead of him.

    @EL PRESIDENTE and whoever else said those complaining about portland drivers don't know what its like in other places?

    I question that. Lol. I have witnessed something similar to this more than once. :)

    That's Boston traffic everyday. Portlanders just aren't use to it.

    Upstate NY drivers were courteous and nice. Boston is a shit show. I can't wait to be back in Portland driving.
