Portland is nothing but a public benefits nonprofit economy at this point.
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.

Lovely man tried to run 2 cyclists off the shared (marked as shared) road. Expired plates. I guarantee you he has no license to drive. Roughly 25% of drivers in SF/Oak do not have a valid license or registration. @CA_DMV @ICEgov @CHPoakland
Genz posh girl from Indiana thinks she has her finger on SF’s pulse. 🙄 Been here <2 yrs. Buried the lede in the Great Highway fiasco, which is that we could end up with Chan in DC because both conservatives and the fringe left in SF despise Wiener’s Great Highway Park advocacy.

People will tell you that every on San Francisco streets are from San Francisco and they will try to force you to believe that people on the streets was pushed out onto the streets because high rent. Well I’m going to debunk that myth all week
Meet 26yr old Abby she escaped Oklahoma and left her family just because she had a warrant in Oklahoma
Today at 4 PM, on Boswell St behind the Methodist church on Post next to Japantown. A thriving drug market. I saw 6 @SFPDNorthern SUV’s drive by and do nothing. This is not how a city works - its how a failed cult doctrine shows its inner collapse. No different than Jonestown.
Racist clowns built a personal playpen as “housing” for “comrades” while taking millions in tax $$, without which they couldn’t have built it — to use the space for cuckoo anti-tech indoctrination. And @SFElections you think they don’t use it to direct “tenants” on how to vote?
If there’s anything that annoys me more than girls who speak (and yes, even sing) with a contrived vocal fry… it’s men who speak (but so far thank god they don’t sing) with a vocal fry.
Calle 24 xenophobes who try to micromanage + ruin livability in the Mission, are trying to leverage AI discomfort by creating alarmist fictions about a thriving tech scene in a small area (it was part of D6). “Mission no Eviction?”Whatever tired trope — except SF gives million$.
Crime is down. Unless you’re the SFMTA towing nice people’s cars just so they can make a buck and justify their otherwise meaningless existence.

>>> Holy Heroin Batman! A decade into our Drug Tourism disaster, the powers that be in SF have at last created a SF311 dropdown for — wait for it — public drug problems on our streets, in our parks, parking garages and open spaces. It took a decade but here it is.
Remember last week how the drug scene at Marshall Elementary was suddenly in the news? How Jackass Fielder even made an appearance? It turns out they’re going to install 100’s of drug addicts into “homeless” housing at 16th and Mission, right next to Marshall and Jackie loves it!
Oakland is a mob racket. Just incredible the corruption.
City council could get raises of up to $108,000 more per year (Oakland’s Measure EE).
Oakland already pays its council more per resident than other big cities. The Yes on EE campaign doesn't mention this.

Meanwhile NYC just banned horse drawn carriages. 😡
In NYC, cigarettes run between $15-22 bucks a pack. But **20 hits** of fentanyl run $10 bucks, 30 - 50% cheaper. The “drug legalization” movement pitches itself to political hacks as a tax revenue opportunity, and that’s it. Everything else is just cover fed to us for propaganda.

When dozens of Richmond District neighbors banded together to fight squatters who were terrorizing their block for over a year….what did their City Supervisor do?
Nothing. She did nothing.
Doing nothing has been Connie Chan’s signature move for 6 years in office. The most common refrain here in the neighborhood when leadership is needed:
“Where’s Connie??”

The VERY posh @VVFriedman — ‘fashion editor’ at the NYT — is seriously claiming that the looting in Paris over the last 3 weeks (which the Times only reported on a few days ago) is really an elaborate fist in the air to to evil of the French luxury goods industry.🙄 Ouh la la !
This guy’s doing us a huge community service, revealing what’s really happening on our streets à la jjsmith, but from a systems perspective. Systems being where rubber meets the road in terms of an actual City response to the drug tourism nightmare that’s overtaken our streets.
