Businesses leaving downtown Portland over 'lawlessness': report
“The number is like nothing I have seen in 42 years of doing business in downtown,” a developer wrote

By David Aaro FOXBusiness

The months of protests and riots in Portland have prompted some businesses in the city to opt to move out completely or relocate outside its central district, according to a report on Monday.

Greg Goodman, the co-president of the Downtown Development Group, said in a letter to Mayor Ted Wheeler and members of the Portland City Council that the exodus of companies wasn't related to the Black Lives Matter movement “but does have most everything to do with the lawlessness you are endorsing downtown.”

“The number is like nothing I have seen in 42 years of doing business in downtown,” he wrote, according to Portland's KOIN.

Goodman said companies include Daimler Trucks North America, Airbnb, Banana Republic, Microsoft, Saucebox, and Google, which he claimed: "leased 90,000 square feet in the Macy’s building [and] has stopped construction of their improvements. The list goes on and on. If you know a retail or office broker, give them a call and ask them how many clients they have are trying to leave,"

Wait for your State taxes to go up to cover the shortfall from the cities who let this crap continue to this point.

Someone has to pay for the privilege of living among all this non-violent fire among buildings and vehicles started by non-violent people wearing masks, black helmets and padding and swinging sticks and hurling rocks, bottles filled with urine and bags filled with shit in a non-violent manner.

And if anyone thinks your property insurance isn't going up, guess again.

It's happening in London, Paris, Frankfurt, Rome, in most big cities. I don't remember riots and "lawlessness" in those places. Anyone want to guess at what global phenomenon may have caused it?
