“Residents across the metro area say downtown Portland has become dirty, unsafe and uninviting and many anticipate visiting the city’s core less often after the pandemic than they did before,” the Oregonian reports in new coverage of a poll of 600 residents it conducted. “Asked for their perceptions of downtown, respondents frequently used words like ‘destroyed,’ ‘trashed,’ ‘riots’ and ‘sad.’”
The result?
Nearly half of the poll’s respondents said they haven’t been downtown since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, with another 30 percent having only visited a few times. And this isn’t likely to change anytime soon.

Those that espouse looting, rioting, beatings, vehicle, home, & business destruction are decimating the very foundation of our American fabric! The left has condoned this, & even promoted it, using words that are misleading... The good citizenry of our Country need to rise, speak with a strong unified voice& put a stop to it, IMHO...

I don't see a left or right thing. Lots of cities have come back from riots, in Portland's case its timing. Many cities are struggling to return to pre-Covid business traffic.
