#1,662 - WTF Portland?

That’s the name of a Twitter feed I discovered while roaming the feeds. Its sole purpose is to show you what has happened to Portland since its implosion over the past few years.

It’s impossible to convey how bizarre this is. Portland for decades was portrayed as a liberal paradise. It literally was the place that all the advocates of urban planning and “diversity is our strength” zealots pointed to as the place where liberalism proved that it truly was better at running things.

When we had our light rail battles here in the Twin Cities Portland always came up as the city that proved that rail made things better. But as in Portland, light rail has become a crime magnet and the roving home of drug-addled homeless bums. Overdoses are a daily occurrence.

I visited Portland to see what worked and what didn’t, about 25 years ago. It seemed nice enough. My brother-in-law lived in Portland for decades and thought it was paradise until he was forced out by the decline. He moved across the river to Washington about 45 minutes away from the city and rarely visits anymore. He had resources, so he left the city behind.
