    And @BoBoBREWSKI The Couv did a great job on that new waterfront. We were over there the other night for an event. Nice work.

    Spot on. I've experienced the exact same thing whenever traveling since the first Trump clusterfuck. Plenty of people want to visit Oregon but they're leery of Portland, because..................because........They really can't articulate why other than Fox "news". But point out the deficiencies in their own home towns they all of a sudden have their hair on fire. Sucks to be them. And good for us.

    I'm talking about businesses brother. I love the city and never feel unsafe or anything. Would gladly have you take me out to dinner.

    Property taxes have nothing to do with the City. The State enacted a law that creates that problem because property taxes can only go up 3% every year unless some renovations happened.

    The City and State switched to market based sourcing so it doesn't matter where the business is located and if they move to Vancouver or Tigard. It is where the customer is located. Which is what most other jurisdictions throughout the US follow now.

    Not only is it my wife and my anniversary tomorrow……the Fremont Fest is back FAMS! If you aren’t in the mood for that strip mall food court and want to soak up some really city culture…..I recommend you swing thru. Always a great time.

    There are so many idiots out there who afraid of their own shadow, and have never set foot in Portland, yet spew this kind of shit.


    Altho, one wonders if that person was trolling since they did mention that Powells is a great place to go.

    Any city with @THE HCP in it is not safe.
