I completely understand your frustration. It's unfortunate to see the decline of what was once a great city like Portland. The decision to decriminalize hard drugs has clearly had negative repercussions, with open-air drug dealing, increased overdoses, and violence becoming all too common. It's a stark example of how our choices at the ballot box can directly impact our communities. Hopefully, voters will reconsider the consequences of their decisions in future elections.

I couldn't agree more with this sentiment. It's disheartening to see once-great cities like Portland going downhill due to misguided policies. The decriminalization of hard drugs only exacerbates the drug problems, leading to more crime and violence. It's concerning to witness the negative consequences of misguided votes playing out in real time.
