Quantity of quality.

There are some seriously fantastic breweries in Portland, and a boatload of great taprooms, too. The best taprooms in Seattle feature a lot of Oregon beers. Places like Chuck's Hop Shop.

but the east side is full of homeless from the river all the way to Gresham.

Not neighborhoods I spend any time in. I go over to the east side to visit breweries, mainly. There's a problem behind Hair of the Dog, but not so much up near Cascade, The Commons, and Base Camp.

My gut feeling is that the majority of people are growing tired of the homeless. They are realizing that the more they take care of these people, the more they attract more of them. I think Portland is trying to find a solution to get these people off the streets. I think they will probably focus more on the problem downtown near the Pearl District more than out in Gresham, though. But all the stuff they do for these people in the Right to Dream area is just attracting more of them. The people doing it are proud of themselves, but the shop owners and people who spend money downtown want them to stop.

What area of town are you in?

Update. The police fired on the crowd with non-lethal weapons, and 25 anarchists were arrested.

For those who say that Portland is too liberal, I can think of a lot of places where the police would have let the rioters destroy...

There isn't anything worth crap in portland.

Well, that's true, so no reason for you to ever go there.

I'm just relieved this aholes didn't frick up my commute today. Last time you they blocked freeways.

My commute got fricked up. I couldn't go across the river because a cop car was parked to block the exit.

I had no fricking clue what happened.

This is misleading as frickydoo!

They are nothing close to anarchists. They don't want "zero" government and the people to rule locally only with no federally established charter/contract with a federal government.

They are idiots with no purpose except what they are told. Their cause is not theirs or organic. It is sheer communist Bolshevik style approach to bring down government and establish a communist order.

Seen this played out across countries the world over since central banking and big money and banks became the thang. They fund every uprising and show no allegiance to any flag except their own.
