Portland mayor FINALLY bans 700 homeless camps that turned city into ‘a vortex of misery for all’
October 24, 2022 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
Ted Wheeler, Portland’s abysmal Democratic mayor, is finally getting around to shutting down 700 unsanctioned homeless camps that promote poverty, misery, drug use, crime, and disease around the city.
Squalid, filthy crime-ridden shanty towns have popped up all over what was once a beautiful city under his watch. Wheeler called it a “vortex of misery,” which is an understatement. He has come up with a plan pretty much doomed to failure from the get-go to handle some of it. Meanwhile, residents are fleeing the city as fast as they can to get away from the crisis.
The Daily Mail is reporting that locals are dumping the Democrats over it because they have been in charge for 40 years and have driven Portland into the gutter. They are fed up with skyrocketing crime, drug use, and rampant homelessness in the center of the city.
That’s why in a state that is mostly red except for the bastions of liberalism in the big cities such as Portland, a Republican is on the verge of becoming the governor with the backing of Nike co-founder, and Oregon’s richest man Phil Knight. He’s backing Christine Drazan to defeat her Democratic rival.
Wheeler is being blamed for the demise of Portland. A record number of 90 murders occurred there last year shattering the previous record of 66. It looks like the murder record will be surpassed again this year.
