Oregon might well eliminate its sanctuary state status by initiative and elect a Republican governor to crack down on the homeless this election
Meanwhile the recent developments in Portland city politics are leafy inner eastside neighborhoods getting more NIMBY with growth, development-frontier ones getting more \u201cclean up the streets\u201d, and mayor Ted Wheeler catching national shit for being soft on antifa from Fox News (it doesn\u2019t matter what Arizona retirees think of downtown Portland, tho) and the WSJ (it very much matters what corporations considering locations think of it)
I don\u2019t think this will \u201cturn\u201d the city but the fact that there\u2019s relevant conservative pressure at all is a novelty
