25 years ago, Seattle seemed like the city of the future. I guess the whole PNW peaked around then. People loved it, they wouldn’t shut up about it. I loved going up there, anywhere from Victoria/Vancouver to Portland. What a choice to make, to wreck that whole beautiful region.
NEW: I spent a night out at one of America's top party schools to see how ketamine has taken hold on college campuses.
The drug jumped into the spotlight in the “Cornell 7” case, where Jane Doe told investigators that ketamine left her incapacitated and unable to fend off sexual assault.
At Tulane, students pass it around in plastic baggies at fraternity houses, mix it with cocaine to create “Calvin Klein,” and call the psychedelic effects “going horse mode,” a nod to the drug’s use as a horse tranquilizer.
Portland’s Royal Sonesta: bought for $108.3M in 2016. Now reportedly sold for $6.83M for 220 rooms—just $31,000 per key. A staggering 93.7% price collapse.
This is what happens when government fails at public safety, downtown disorder spirals, Measure 110’s consequences go unaddressed, and Multnomah County’s mental-health system fails people in crisis.
Tourism doesn’t thrive where visitors feel unsafe and downtown businesses struggle to survive.
Portland didn’t get here by accident. Policy choices have consequences—and taxpayers, workers, businesses, and property owners are paying the price.

She is such an insufferable, awkward, hollow skulled person.
She is so incompetent it baffles the mind of anyone who can fog a mirror.
This is what happens when moderates, independents, and republicans stay home.
Get out and VOTE.
