Downtown Portland is often unpleasant, and many larger cities seem to not have as large or visible a problem as we do. New York City is cleaner than Portland. Anti-loitering laws don't have to mean that homeless people have to keep moving all day. They can be more carefully written than that.

Progressive Portland thinks that being tolerant and nice to people means having zero expectations and letting them do whatever they want. That isn't caring.

PS: there is not majority support in Portland for either a real estate transfer tax or a local sales tax.
