Govt constantly raising the minimum wage above what the market will bear will do this every time. Add to that green new deal polices on food and animal products as well as artificially high energy prices will kill an economy every time.

Death from 1000 cuts. First thing to go is Plate Glass Insurance-in these high crime areas, you cannot buy it at any price (which is why you see bricked-up windows and thos stell roll down doors-they look like they are bullet proof). next: your employees feel unsafe comeing and leaving work-if you are afraid of being robbed/assaulted while waiting for a bus-why risk your life? Third-your customers are afaraid to come-which is why many of these places are only open during daylight hours. Finally-homelss...many are aggressive beggars and frightem people; some are severely mentally ill or zonked out on heroin, fentanyl, trank, etc. After a confrontation with one, most people will never go back. Portland, Seattle, San Francisco have chosen to ignore this...think of the poor mowners (many have their life's savings tied up in the business)-they can either leave now (and lose most of their investment)-or stay and lose it all. meanwhile thenitits in city government don't care.

Yes, it's hilarious to see the homeless and criminal win.
Living in Portland, eating chips and only watching companies in the super ghetto areas close , like than god who went there anyway? You must be a Wal-Mart person? Broke hoes is a no no.
I lived in Portland for a couple of years back in the mid 70,s it was a beautiful city. It’s amazing how easy it was destroyed and turned into a filth hole.
Not gonna lie, their customers seem annoying
And probably voted straight liberal for many years.
That's because they're all Socially Democrats. They don't call it the Left coast for nothing.
Let Rome burn . . .
I was lucky to see Portland before the portlandia effect happened and they became radical
Portland was a little weird but safe.
Yet another business closing article with no mention of the effects the rampant crime is having on businesses there. It seems like everyone is leaving or closing businesses in Portland, from Walmart to long-time local businesses.
They are not leaving, They are being run out of town
Govt constantly raising the minimum wage above what the market will bear will do this every time. Add to that green new deal polices on food and animal products as well as artificially high energy prices will kill an economy every time. Govt created this situation and their response will be to raise taxes or those who remain - along with lessons not having been learned.
No it's Trump's fault his economic policies caused this not Biden
Even mom and pop restaurants are closing ? Wow!
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money to spend.
The rate things are going, Portland will become a wasteland with all these closures, from Walmart, to Cracker Barrel onto this...
The reason given for closing is dubious. Crime and unrelenting encounters with wacko homeless is the most likely cause.
Closing March 31st so there's enough time to get robbed 3 or 4 more times
🤣😂🤣😂🥰😍😄😀😁😆
Best Post lol
Everything is leaving Oregon. Even Oregon is leaving Oregon (Idaho). Wonder where it all went wrong?
Trump from 2017-2021 his economic policies
@Jared40 Another ignorant, indoctrinated and extremely naive lunatic leftist idiot!!!
Joe Biden's America
People of Oregon voted for this ….. good job
Whatever, sign of what you voted for☺️
WoW, thAt's saying something when even a Well established Deli, leaves. Way to go Portland. 🤦😑
You get what you vote for
Keep believing that, and allowing global elites to rule you. Don't be such a fool. Divide and conquer.
Republicans would get more votes if they had any kind of a plan.
Every single place is closing in Portland. That town will be blank and nothing but homeless junkies by the end of the year.
It's almost as if allowing criminals a free pass is bad for your society.
Sorry to see them go. Never be another one like it. Sad😔
Do you know Broceff Brokowski?
Congratulations. You voted for this.
😅😅
Go woke and go broke.
So sad cry cry . Sike!
Its ok...Oregonians are VERY PROUD of the outcome of their Democrat policies!!
Keep voting this is what you wanted!! Look how proud you look and doing a great job! Greetings from Florida!
🐊🏖🛫
Hhahhaha. BUT, EVERYBODY in this story, including customers and the reporters, voted for dems, voted for this.
Lol they can't admit it
Might as well raise the minimum wage more and push out remaining businesses. Next stop: Dystopia.
That reporter seems so happy about this
I think he drank the liberal cool aid
He gets to keep his job for now. Times ticking....
Death from 1000 cuts. First thing to go is Plate Glass Insurance-in these high crime areas, you cannot buy it at any price (which is why you see bricked-up windows and thos stell roll down doors-they look like they are bullet proof). next: your employees feel unsafe comeing and leaving work-if you are afraid of being robbed/assaulted while waiting for a bus-why risk your life? Third-your customers are afaraid to come-which is why many of these places are only open during daylight hours. Finally-homelss...many are aggressive beggars and frightem people; some are severely mentally ill or zonked out on heroin, fentanyl, trank, etc. After a confrontation with one, most people will never go back. Portland, Seattle, San Francisco have chosen to ignore this...think of the poor mowners (many have their life's savings tied up in the business)-they can either leave now (and lose most of their investment)-or stay and lose it all. meanwhile thenitits in city government don't care.
No one wants to run a business in a town with no leadership or safety. Woke new thing
They voted for it
You know who caused this. Right?
