From Portland and pretty much the same story here.

It's hilarious that only 5 years ago in the Portland sub you'd get downvoted to oblivion for saying things like the city is becoming too expensive, traffic is getting out of hand, homelessness is becoming an issue. Some would argue against it existing and others would argue that it's normal. Now the sub has flipped.

Liberalism is a luxury people can only indulge in when things are going well. Its for when you just got out of college, only ever dealt with others that look and think like you, and immediately land a good job, get paid more money than you've ever had in your life, and your only issues are pretty much bullshit issues.

You fucking drop the bullshit though after you have a kid and they get stuck with a used needle on the light rail thanks to your years of protesting against the system to be more lenient towards drug addicts because it was "unfair".

Portland

and

homelessness is becoming an issue.

Well, you're not Eugene. But I laugh at the notion that it's only BECOMING an issue.

Like I said, as early as 5 years ago you would get shooed away for saying this. And many did and were silenced.

But now it's entered a phase where the solutions aren't as cheap or easy as they would have been back when we originally voiced our concerns. It's entering the phase of needing to wash sidewalks down with bleach to stop hepatitis like they do in California.
