Progressive Portland's Summer of Love lingers as its downtown office vacancy is highest in nation
In a striking revelation, downtown Portland faces the highest office vacancy rate in the nation, a direct aftermath of the chaotic "Summer of Love" and subsequent control by groups such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter. The city's once-vibrant heart now grapples with an alarming exodus of businesses and a dwindling foot traffic recovery rate, placing it significantly below national averages. Critics point to Measure 110, Oregon's controversial drug decriminalization policy, as a catalyst for the increase in homelessness, drug addiction, and perceived lawlessness, exacerbating the city's decline. Local business leaders and residents demand urgent actions to reclaim and revitalize downtown, advocating for both short and long-term solutions to address safety, cleanliness, and public order. This scenario underscores the broader debate on urban policy effectiveness, security, and economic resilience, spotlighting Portland as a cautionary tale of good intentions gone awry.
