big thanks to local media for running interview after interview with Lake Oswego residents declaring they're finally leaving Portland because downtown which they haven't gone to since 2014 is too dangerous now

Maybe they should all go to the Lake Oswego in Wisconsin that the place is named for?

The folks in Lake O are not serious people

I love this fact and bring it up all the time. I even explained the story and Lake Oswego to my family back in Ohio so they could understand how the Portland crime story was bullshit.

For Columbus, OH folks, this is like if you had a crime wave blamed on folks in Franklinton or OTE, but it turned out it was a gang based in Upper Arlington.

but walking around a tent when you’re going from your Tesla to your dinner restaurant in the Pearl, basically a war zone

and they got nabbed by openly discussing their big crimes at LARDO downtown with an agent in the next booth over 😂
am I remembering correctly that they were failed tech bros who couldn’t hack it in SV?

Best way to keep crime down around you is run a crime group that crimes in another area!

Down here in LA a big organized retail theft ring, the source of many crime panicking homeowners, was being run by a white middle aged lady living in Santa Monica
