ANALYSIS – There is a lot of competition for the title ‘America's most screwed up city.' Most are, of course, democrat-run.
New York is high on the list with its crime and homelessness, compounded by Joe Biden's massive wave of illegal aliens turning Manhattan and its boroughs into a third-world tent city. (RELATED: Local Residents Lash Out At AOC And Dems Over Migrant Crisis)
San Francisco too is a major contender, with its crime-ridden, desolate downtown filled with drug addicts, needles, and homeless people.
But it seems Portland, Oregon, home of the infamous and violent Black Lives Matter (BLM) riots in 2020 that went on for months and were mostly focused on attacking the U.S. federal courthouse, may take the prize.
In a recent video posted to Twitter, we can see a deranged shirtless bicyclist ride into oncoming traffic before lunging onto the sidewalk in front of ‘Killer Burger' joint, which happens to be the home of a crazy naked guy who proceeds to beat the living crap out of the cyclist.
Wow. Yes, “only in Portland.”
Not the Bee summarized things nicely:
…they used to say “keep Portland weird,” but now I guess it's just “keep Portland in a constant state of decay,” because this is straight up embarrassing. Funny, sure, but when reality kicks in and tells you that this is actually a thing that happened, the silly factor just kind of goes away. I could say a lot of things about this video — “Naked guy wins,” “cycle on the sidewalk,” “I need to see better form on those bicycle kicks” — but I just can't seem to find it in me with this one.
This is what you get when you run your city on liberal policies…
The city which often touts the ‘Keep Portland Weird' motto isn't just weird; it's crazy, dirty and dangerous.
And Portlanders, especially high earners, are now fleeing the hell hole they created.
KGW reported:
To most Portlanders, the results of a recent survey commissioned by the city to identify areas in need of improvement will come as no surprise. Respondents identified homelessness, community safety and cost of living as the city's top problems.
Homelessness stood out from the pack as the biggest challenge, with more than 44% of respondents saying it was their top concern. By contrast, 21% named cost of living and 19% said safety. Racial discrimination and climate change were the next highest concerns, but neither cracked 4%.
“The homeless population and permissiveness of camping everywhere has led to rampant property crimes and lack of public safety.”
The news outlet added: “There are growing signs that these types of concerns could be translating into action — flight. People are moving away from Portland and Multnomah County, and they're taking a lot of money with them.”
The Oregonian recently concluded that people who left Multnomah County in 2020 and 2021 took more than a billion dollars in income with them, a record loss for the county.
