The City of Portland, Oregon.

Anyone who has lived in Portland, OR for more than ten years has witnessed its steady inevitable decline into what could only be described as "third-world" territory.  All one has to do is look around and wonder... what the hell happened?  There are tenement cities everywhere: camping tents on every sidewalk, filth littering the streets, the insane, drug-addicted, and drunken humanity uncared for and unwanted walking the boulevards and back alleys like filthy, urine reeking zombies.  I have never made any strong claims of love concerning my sodden city.  It is, in fact, just a city, but it has been good to me, in its own twisted way.  However, for the past couple of decades or so it has been changing, irrevocably and horribly.  What once was a city with a unique feel and flavor all its own, is now just another California transplant, riddled with uninspiring architecture, uninspired citizens, and a lackluster social scene dominated by out-of-staters and miscreants who would rather change the neighborhood to suit them than shut up and acclimate.  This is nothing new.  It is a problem infecting most major cities in the country.  But its insidious viciousness is no less felt by your humble, if not opinionated, narrator. 



However, I learned something the other day about the city in which I try to live with honor and decency that made me want to puke.  So, not only do we have the worst drivers in the nation; according to Quote Wizard, which looked at four factors: speeding tickets, DUI's, traffic crashes, and other traffic violations.  It also turns out that it's legal to poop on Portland city streets. 



Fucking disgusting!



Portland.  Now, not only do your drivers suck, but you will also be considered, by anyone and everyone, to be the most foul-smelling and disgusting city in the country.



Hope all'a you who think this is okay are proud.  Good on ya'.  Now Portland's a health hazard.
