Keep buying tents and tarps portland

Mismanagement of the city leads to employers and people leaving. Figure it out.

[@MarvinThiessen]

Layoffs aside, City Hall and Metro's failed policies combined with too many taxes are three legit reasons to leave Portland. Several high-end earners have already moved on, the real question is, how many would leave if they could afford to?

[@jamesklaatu9359]

Keep over taxing the producers and they leave. Especially when it goes to nothing but societies takers. Can't fix stupid in Portland.

Portland also has the distinction of depopulating faster than Detroit during its worst years.

" ...largest employment loss of any metro county IN THE COUNTRY. LAST OF 50.People vote with their feet, their laptops & moving vans. Wise up, Portland City & Metro!

You interviewed an 'economist' with a neckbeard that looked like he just crawled out of bed. Perhaps that's an indicator.

The streets are always hiring. JVP is paying in tents, tarps, cans, and public assistance.

Yes, yes, yes - my only hope is a remote gig. I knew that already!

Mostly the better paying jobs are leaving. Government jobs seem to be growing so at least our tax dollars will go somewhere.

Just make Portland the biggest remote work hub to attract companies and workers.

[@thebaptistwasher]

Nobody would move to Portland to work remotely from there when they would be paying such high income taxes.

[@standardtristan2]

@@thebaptistwasherI work remotely out of SF. Makes sense for me since cost of living is less than California.
