The New York Times recently implied the decline of Portland without actually saying it outright, but we all know what's really going on. The city has become a magnet for all things chaotic and unmanageable: high rates of homelessness, businesses fleeing downtown, and even Nike's flagship store packing its bags. This perfect storm has been brewed by years of tolerant policies that have allowed for a mess of issues to compound, making recovery a steep uphill battle.

And get this: while average, law-abiding citizens are getting fed up, Portland has also become a safe haven for out-of-towners attracted by the city's "lenient" regulations. Businesses are in a bind, forced to hire private security because of a failing public safety infrastructure. And all of this is not isolated to Portland. Other liberal-run cities are racing to the bottom, dealing with the fallout from work-from-home exodus and, let's call it, unique approaches to law enforcement and urban planning. So, if you're planning a trip to the Pacific Northwest, maybe reconsider; it's not the place it once was.
