>>535027267wrong, Portland is back
Based. Oregon (the land not the current populace) is an incredibly beautiful state, more than capable of self sustaining via ample rainfall/freshwater, farmland and coastline and deserves saving by a chud takeover. Accelerationism works. As the tax base leaves, the crazies that live there for the benefits will also leave.
>>535027556maybe because you can stay at the Ritz in Poortland at a fifty percent discount, which is just pathetic.
>>535027576>As the tax base leaves,>The state had the highest percentage of inbound movers in the country last year, according to the most recent United Van Lines annual moving survey. https://www.oregonlive.com/business/2026/01/oregon-tops-nationwide-list-for-inbound-movers-is-population-growth-on-the-rebound.html

>>535028468I went to PSU (graduated in '06). it was bad back then. i cannot imagine what 20 additional years of complete and unrepentant cuntery has done to it.Growing up in eastern OR, it's absolutely amazing just how far from the rest of the state (and God) Portland has drifted.

>>535027267it wasn't covid or remote shit that did anything the city already started massively declining and becoming unlivable after 2016. I'm a portland native and literally everyone I know who could moved away from it, even the libs who think it's still a great city got the fuck away and live 1-2 hours away and still say portland is great even though they had to flee it because the homeless people made it so their buisness couldn't function. makes me sad I have at times felt I have some obligation to it since it's where I'm from but I really don't think there is anything to be done. Anyone still there is completely delusional and is incapable of even saying there are any problems. I left the city in 2019 and the state in 2021 because the same problems showed up in towns outside the portland metro.
>>535029933Nobody knows what you're talking about and we're glad. Get a life. You're a racist, Portland supporting pedophile... Not surprising as strange as that is. Portlanders are secret racist, leftist drug seekers, descended from Nazi pioneers.
>>535027267Portland here. Love how much my city makes chuds seethe with impotent rage.

>>535029980Portland is in a doom coffin, not a doom loop. The leftists don't want to admit what their politics did, so it's a "great city" no matter how bad it gets.

>>535031251It's me who's the loser when Portland is in a 1B$ defecit! Absolutely! You are so right! I don't have that much debt and I'm a fucking hospitality worker! I should have become the biggest joke of a city in the USA so that I could have been more of a winner!
sar SARRRR post location SARRRRRR you fucking nigger
>>535027267I honestly think Portland will recover from it's many failures that occurred in the 2010s and early 2020s. I kind of have hope for it. It's decline won't be permanent. It will shift in the future.
>>535031397San Fran is Sodom and Portland is Gomorrah. The funny thing is the PDX lesbos don't really like the shit state of their city, but they'll vote leftist eternally, afraid Republicans will burn them as witches.
>I don't have that much debt and I'm a fucking hospitality workeryou work in old town then
>>535031480Guess what? Detroit and Fresno died and Portland's death is permanent too. There is no return to a golden age. Especially not with the corrupt Portland gov padding their pockets with tax dollars.
>>535031532>We're all for carbon neutral fuel sources>NO! NOT LIKE THAT>EAAAAAAAAAAH ITS LIKE SALEM ALL OVER AGAIN
>>535031542As if there is a single restaurant or bar left in Old Town
>>535031300>>535031417>It's me who's the loser>nonwhite>nonamerican>posting about a city they dont live in
>>535031668haha
>>535031653Detroit, while fucked in many ways, has been recovering a lot in the past few years, so I see it actually making a comeback at some point in the future. Fresno however, has always been a shithole. I don't know why you picked that place in particular.
>>535031480the native population left there 0 economic growth which depends upon itI know there is the wignat groups in the area but they really don't seem to have come to grips with the acutal problem. It's not even that white anymore, as the older people die it's going to become brown very quickly. But all the buisnesses are like being punished by the gov so everyone is leaving, you need an actual functioning economy to be repaired and if homeless people will destroy your shit no one will want to work there or run a buisness
>>535031770You've stumbled on our conspiracy. Indian AI using shills have been trying to destroy Portland. We noticed that there were only like 2 Indian restaurants in Portland so we assumed Portland hates Indians and we have engineered the entire downfall of Portland over the last six years. We have an army of anti-Portland Indian guys in Bangalore. Your time is done Portland.
>>535031697you post here under a memeflag, lets not act like youre working at anyplace nice. youre passing out meals at night for free

>>535031911I hand out granola bars to homeless people as a volunteer. I am a one legged Down's syndrome man who lives with my grandfather Handsome Pete, the Irish pirate of Portland legend. I'm covered in my own shit right now.
>>535028698>picI regularly bike that lane of the Hawthorne Bridge, but rarely see reptilians there
>>535032100the reptilians are at the top of all the tall buildings in downtown. they feel a sense of power being literally over everyone. it's about the hierarchical function of the reptile brain.
>>535031906pretty much this, it's the death spiral of progressive politics.as the tax base shrinks, the cunty progressive VILE shits in power try to grab more and more wealth from the remaining productive parts of the economy which drives more productivity out -- because who wants to get raped on taxes, so that retards, invaders, and other brown filth can be taught to play fetch and paid to reproduce?>you will pay your fair share!>GET FUCKED
>>535032254We'll see how long that'll last. It maybe wishful thinking, but I still have some hope for the place.
>>535032254It's in the death spiral of "progressive" politics, yes.
>>535032375It's gonna become Mexico. It's only a matter of time. Cali is basically Mexico again and Oregon will be next. There will be a lot of even better Mexican food, who knows maybe it will be fun? On the positive side. Maybe the Mexicans will run it better than the white trash inbred pioneer establishment has been.
>>535027750I know two people that moved to Portland since 2020. One was homeless and still is. The other has never held anything more than a minimum wage job. Those are the exact imports a city wants.
>>535027750Maybe you missed this line above>The average income of departing households outpaced incoming residents by over $32,000All the dregs from the west coast are still pouring into Portland to get in on the rape of a once pretty fun city.
>>535033038I am one of the dregs funnily enough. I had to come to Portland for cheap rent, but it doesn't mean I want to watch an insane, prideful for no reason, city shoot itself in the foot eternally for leftist political fakeness and corruption. All of Portland's fail has caused me hardship working in the working class jobs and I have multiple disabilities. I don't need this shit just like Portland really doesn't need this shit they keep loyally voting Left for, for no good reason.
>>535033038if it makes you feel any better (it shouldn't); I'm about 30 miles outside of Eugene. For a while the homeless trash from Portland was getting shipped to Eugene. And now they're getting cunted out from Eugene to the bedroom communities.until it's legal to euthanize these people, nothing will ever improve, and the numbers will keep increasing. but hey, maybe more immigration from south america will help!
>>535034011The world is ending... It's a slow death too, the world's population may have reached this peak previously or multiple times before and the global society collapses eventually resetting everything to zero. Sad for the zoomers if they ever thought for one second it would be nice to have children and a family. They should legalize euthanasia for people with non-terminal diseases really. Some people with nowhere to go, no options and no hope might actually opt to be euthanized. Living with no end in sight and no hope is just a bleak existence. Some of them are incapable of ever doing a job, I should know, my disabilities make it hard for me to work. I kind of just want to be "put to sleep" because my diseases are a living nightmare and a limbo and a hell.
>>535027576The thieves will stay so long as their leftoid cheating fraudsters remain in power and continue their usual pace of ripping everyone off. Oregon needs emergency audits of every state penny spent ASAP.
>>535027556>reality schemality just delusion yourself like us leftoids
>>535034575yeah, small wonder Portland will reveal the same fraud that shameful Minnesota had

>portland is a shithole thread>no mention of havinf the highest tax rate in the entire country when you include local tax and state tax>14%>no mention of the fact that theyre going to implement an additional 10% state income tax to pay for ubiversal healthcare and also tax employers 10% more per employee too.Ngmi
>>535027267Do we even need Americans or an economy to make gains?
>>535036082>pay for ubiversal healthcarethat can definitely help at the state level tho. healthy people = more taxes
>>535036375not when the average productivity of your mexican and jeet slave labor force is less than the cost of keeping them alive.these are not alpine jews swissbro.
>>535036531i suppose if you're ruthless you could kick unqualified people out once their health degrades and replace them with fresh people achieve ~the same result?but obviously that doesn't change anything for people who you gave citizenship - they'll stay and need healthcare to have an additional productive 15y or so. to me even if you are a bit of a sociopath it seems just more effective to cover health care... just to keep your work force working rather than reduce or quit working due to their own or family's health issues.Or the people who can plan even just leave to avoid this risk, perhaps - either by going to better paying regions and/or to regions WITH health care.
>>535037165i'd rather just start deporting brown people.like, all of the brown people.if you or your family immigrated after 1965, or you were given citizenship due to birth-right rules (your parents were not citizens), deport.mexico might not like this, but i don't care. it wouldn't even matter what type of mexican they are>squatemalan mexican: deported>honduran mexican: deported>colombian mexican: deported>venezuelan mexican: deported>hindu mexican: deportedsouth of the border they go, and mexico can figure out what to do with them.i can tell you're trying to have a serious conversation on the matter, but that's nigh impossible. the amount of mexicans, of every different flavor that's been permitted into the US since 1965 is just silly.silly problems call for silly solutions.
>>535028403Good luck becoming Idaho
>>535027267>Local small businesses cite difficulty hiring qualified staffPfft, sure
>>535036082You forgot to mention Federal Income Tax on top of it all which is the biggest one.
>>535037688By the way, what ever happened to the Eastern Oregon-Idaho movement?
>>535038340it's a pipe dreamthe willamette valley will hold on to eastern oregon out of nothing more than petty spite; while torturing them with all kinds of progressive faggotry that they are simply unable to avoid due to numbers.
