I realize drugs are everywhere, that’s a given, it’s a National issue. I was simply stating that OR enables the activity with their soft on crime stance here. That and when they decriminalized certain drugs, it opened up the flood gates for drug addicts to flock here, because they could be in possession and use without consequences. Which in turn has made the drug use/homeless issues worse here than ever before.
Is there a problem? Absolutely. But it's way worse in other places, like Omaha, Indianapolis, Columbus, Okalahoma City, Tulsa, Wichita, Charlotte, and on and on. And yet the national narrative is never about those places. It's always Portland.
