In 2016 alone, Portland police seized about 284 pounds of heroin and meth. But those who are afflicted by addiction often never have to confront their habit, at least not due to legal consequences.
Oregon’s drug policy is defined by leniency. Police have neither the resources, nor the backing of their superiors to arrest an individual for being on drugs in public or for having drugs on their person. In practice, heroin and meth are legal.

LOL at sending your daughter to college.....what is she....a stamp?
If your mindset is set in the 1950s then of course you hate those cities. -
As yet relatively undiscovered, Everett, Wash., Up I-5 from Seattle, is fast becoming the new meth-head, psycho utopia.

Track fans should NEVER disparage Portland or Oregon. Whatever they've got going on works for track and field. No other place in the US comes close to supporting distance running like they do.
Never been to Colorado, eh? When they held XC nationals in Boulder it was likely the biggest fan turnout ever, and the after parties were amazing. -
I have lived in all 3 cities in question. All are horrible places for different reasons including but not limited to rampant and open public drug use, an overwhelming homeless population, crap weather, overly inflated housing, and overcrowding.

Sounds like he's a bank. -
It's actually been that way for awhile. Due to my job, I know a few of the people in the video. Another nearby town (Marysville) is really bad and has a very high incidence of crime and violence all directly related to meth and heroin.

I know, right?! Old fashioned geezer who likes sidewalks free of human poop and used syringes that you could walk down after dark without fear of being assaulted. Dude needs to get woke and embrace these awesome changes. -

You got something against the 50’s?
I guess it would have been harder for you to have sex with other men.
You got something against homosexuals?
Open homophobia, what else would you expect from Letsrun.... -

You mean the standard moral position that has existed for the last 5000 years or so in most societies?
So you are gay. I guess we’ve established that much. Not that it was in doubt. -
Is that important? Does it even matter?

Nope. I could care less whether the person is gay or not.

Peak Portland was around the 2000's. In the last 10 years the downtown has degenerated and house prices too high. The city does not have the overall size or diverse economy to absorb the incomers or hide the homeless. Austin is the same (the two are often twinned). Seattle, while not an especially nice town, has so many facets it does not need to care about it's image. Portland is almost entirely dependent on it's image . For recreational running it's good but hardly exceptional - the weather suits me, though.

And there you have it. A belief by hard leftists that people are basically good and what to get better. So well avoid actually arresting them. Then the city becomes a nasty hole. Then the problems become so severe that they cannot be dealt with by city government.
