re: Oregon just re-criminalized drug possession and use

I had a meeting for work in Portland a couple weeks ago. It was pretty dang sad. There was not a place we went or street we drove on that did not have a homeless person or some tent commune.

Talking to some in our meeting that live there, they said the amount of people that moved there once drugs were legalized were staggering. Said the overdose fatalities got to a point where the news stopped talking about it. They were saying how the city has to wash the sidewalks several times a week because of people crapping or puking. Sure, enough the morning we left they were washing them down.

Almost all of our customers that work there are looking to transfer out. It is really sad that a place that is so beautiful to be so crappy.
