I moved from the area (Vancouver, WA, just across the river) just a few months ago but I probably went into Portland only a few times during the day for the last ten years. You could just see the city decline, the freeways were lined with tents and there was trash everywhere. It's been a no-go zone and it'll never get any better.
A leftist citadel, that tard Wheeler was re-elected because his opponent was even more of a whack job somehow. And I don't know from direct experience, but I've heard SF, LA, and Seattle are even worse.
