Another reason why Portland is awesome

Stupid Tommie-poo Fact of the Day

Portland has only 619 people!!!!

Here's how stupid Tommie-poo cherry-picks data. Oregon's population has grown 11 of the last 12 years, at an average of +0.8%. In 2021-2022, it fell by 0.4%. So if you focus on ONE year out of the last TWELVE--yeah, BILLYUNS O' PEEPUL IS FLEAIN'.

Car thefts are up--NATIONWIDE. And the increase in Portland is smaller than the nationwide average.

But stupid Tommie-poo can relax. We won't be asking him to move here.

Is Kevin once again lying by using Portland metro area data vs Portland data?  This Liberal lie that he's used in the past include surrounding suburbs which are run by far less liberal or even conservative city governments.  Most of these area a doing far better than Portland.

That being said, while Portland sucks, I doubt that the population has dropped to 619.

Apparently cpa kevin doesn't understand the concept of rounding.

From kevin

Car thefts are up--NATIONWIDE. And the increase in Portland is smaller than the nationwide average.

As usual kevin makes up his own  numbers.

According to the National Crime Information Center, car thefts were up 7% last year from the previous year.

Portland experienced 680 per 100,000 residents and is number 5 in the country.. It also saw a 38% increase in thefts year over year

It is liberal here where I live mostly as well.  It doesn't bother me.  

Decent stuff to know.  I've actually never been to Portland.  

Why is it that nice suburbs are mostly conservative?  (mainly a question for Kevin)  Would you consider people in those suburbs to be more intelligent and successful in general?

Jerry - by now you should know that there is the real world & kevin's world.  The 2 are not the same.

but that's when other places are getting bombed by snowstorms and freezing their asses off. And summers here--glorious.

Among U.S. cities, Portland ranks third with 164 rainy days annually.

That is almost every other day.

propaganda about the BLM "riots" her

How much damage was done in the Portland riots?  Businesses reported losses totaling millions of dollars as the result of vandalism and looting, and by mid-July damage was $23 million.

exaggerations about the so-called "decline" of downtown

The drops in central Portland's real estate market, hotel occupancy rates, and population can largely be attributed to the city's inability to recover from the adversities it faced in 2020  Downtown foot traffic from March to May this year was just 36.9% of foot traffic during the same period in 2019.Aug 7, 2023

what else makes this city awesome.

But yet so many are leaving.

and yes, the tax money spent to create and maintain them).

As shown earlier Portland is one of the highest taxed cities in the country.

The economy here is booming, and it's a great place to find a good job.

Compared to other similarly-sized cities, the report says, Portland has lagged behind on recovering financially since 2020. (Oregon PBS)

And those are awful things.  

I'm interested to hear Kevin's answers to my two above questions.  I'll check back tonight.  

Stupid Tommie-poo goes digging around the interblab until he finds a "source" that tells him what he wants to read. The "National Crime Information Center"? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

One thing about so-called hyper-liberal Oregon that those who don't live here don't know or understand is that we have areas that are very conservative--within metro areas, some counties and cities, etc. In fact, from a geographical standpoint, we're more redneck idiot MAGA goober than we are liberal.

Yet, we all get along. Aside from some idiot nonsense about some eastern counties wanting to "secede" to Idaho, we liberals and the MAGA goofers get along. We save their bacon repeatedly, like during covid when they followed Doctor Trump's wise medical advice and started dropping like flies. We used that awful liberal free medical care to rush them to hospitals.

As with most things that are done at the city level, the efforts of Portland's government are focused on mundane things like traffic mitigation, coping with floods, schools, transit, local industries, etc. etc. But there's also a concerted effort to improve quality of life. That's significant, and you can tell that's their aim by the stuff they do.

I'm not sure exactly why Portland's mere existence twists the Shortbus Trio's panties so very, very much, but they don't have to come here. They really should, though--they'd be welcome. Unlike other places, we don't despise those who disagree with us.

And stupid Tommie-poo is distorting the issue by considering only downtown Portland.

And no, Boiler, none of the surrounding communities are conservative. Check 2020 voting numbers. None of them voted for the Orange Turd--not even close.
