Downtown Portland is a bit of a mess right now. We (my wife and I) used to go there every other weekend 5-6 years ago. We now go down there 3 maybe 4 time a year now. There are homeless every where in central Portland. They took over the sidewalks during the lockdowns two and a half years ago. I have not been to downtown Seattle since '13, about 9 years ago.

I agree the driving is getting more aggressive. I suspect there are a lot of drunks on the road as well, in the evenings. We're rarely out during the evenings so we don't see them.

The girl barely out of her teens is the biggest tragedy of all of thus. It makes me very angry about all of this. I have little sympathy for the full adults in this. But the young people were pressured into this either by their parents or by the schools and college admissions people. It is these people who deserve to be roasted for it all.

There are massive debts to be collected over this. When it is all set and done, we will not refer to it as a civil war, revolution or other such political terminology. It will simply be referred to as the settling of accounts.
