A casualty of government policies.  So many Oregon restaurants closing.  First it was the George Floyd riots, then coronavirus, then homelessness and more crime.  All avoidable problems.

Tax Abuse.  Multnomah county citizens are having to pay for all kinds of stuff.  Like paying for other people's preschool, among other things.  Now they're asked to pay for legal representation when they get evicted.  Really?  What also do people have to pay for —their food delivery when they get hungry?  C'mon....

Purely symbolic.  The city of Portland is going to require deliveries to a small area in town to be in electric vehicles, so as to decrease emissions.  Gas-powered trucks will drop off goods at a spot on the Eastside (who cares about pollution there, right?) and then truck the goods in to the city by electric vehicle.  There is no reduction in pollution, and only an increase in energy expenditures, as more steps are added to the delivery process.  Which adds to net carbon dioxide production. Edit: Lars Larson agrees.

Evil.  Oregon is following Washington in advancing this nonsense - HB2002B.  Democrats will make it legal for the state to remove children from families based on what they think is permissible.  Time to move out of the state.
