Death Of A City: The Portland Story?
How long does it take for a city to die? Downtowns across the country have emptied due to the pandemic, causing many stores and restaurants to close. Suburbs are doing much better, in many cases hardly touched by the recession. But in Portland, Oregon, continued violence and vandalism have combined with high housing costs, homelessness and poor community leadership to raise the question: how long before this city dies?

It's already dead, it just doesn't know it.....
ReplyDeletefaster please
ReplyDeleteThe author missed the reality behind the "peaceful protests" altogether. Those protests have other goals -- we just aren't aware yet. Those Democrat-controlled cities that have been affected by the burning and total destruction carried out by BLM/Antifa have a plan. Those riots were planned for targeted destruction, and they were ordered.
ReplyDeleteThe riots and destruction isn't only about the rise of fascism -- that's the hidden surface that we see, if we're paying attention. Those behind the orders to Antifa didn't tell Antifa what the end-goals actually were....Antifa was sold on the need to create the anarchy, but nothing more.
What is not being discussed (yet) is the intentional destruction in Dem-controlled city areas that will soon be devalued to the point of being undesirable. When the prices are low, the real estate speculators will move in with fast purchases to scoop up the artificially-low prices.
The areas will become slated for "revitalization", and wouldn't you know, those real estate speculators were so smart to invest wisely. Why, it was almost as if they could see the future...
I'd call it racketeering, but gosh, our government would never engage in such practices, especially on the backs of taxpayers.

Unfortunately, you nailed it.
DeleteThe riots also give their cadres real world training, but with relatively low risk. They can hone communications, tactics, etc. It's their version of Ft. Irwin/NTC
DeleteExactly. Shorting stocks, shorting cities, it’s all the same game. Just on different time scales.
DeleteMike_C, and bailed out by the same government with our tax money.
DeleteWhether willfully or unintentionally due to ignorance the Donks are destroying the country city by city.
ReplyDeleteEZ Solution. "Put A Bird On It".
ReplyDeleteI’m feeling a lil boy or a fat man should fix it.
DeleteI lived in Portland 30 years ago. Moved to Austin for 8, then moved back to Portland in 2000. I didn't actually live in Portland, I lived in the western suburbs. Back then the city was quirky and didn't take itself too seriously. Then the worst thing happened: Portlandia. It was a parody of Portland. A parody I tell you. But people don't know reality from fiction and thought it was a documentary. And that's when the real weirdos began to arrive. That's when everything went down hill.

So? I don't live in "cities". Let them all burn down as long as their Marxists supporters burn as well. Lees commies is always WAY more.
ReplyDeleteWhy aren't the antifa/blm niggas burning down Austin? Uh, maybe the should start in Houston, then they could begin burning and exploding all the mosloid and nignog areas of DFW.
MT's comment above may be most of the plan, but don't forget that taxpayers from all over the country will be 'called upon' by Congress to help pay for the rehabilitation of burned out/broken up cities. You know, white supremacy and stuff like that.
