Big news?

It gets much colder in Boise than Portland. It's literally 10° colder in Boise in January than it is in Portland or Seattle.

And Boise has it's homeless problems as well. In fact, there was a huge court case originating in Boise about it that was/is restricting how the 9th circuit district can deal with homelessness.

I have a friend who moved there with his wife in June and he says you don’t see any homeless in downtown Boise. I have another friend who is one of the head guys at Hoffman building a fab for Micron over there and he has an apt downtown and he says the same thing.

Yeah, it's definitely not as liveable as Portland (from a weather perspective). No way would I choose to stay in Boise and sleep outside over the winter when I could easily hop a train to Portland.

There is plenty of drug use in Boise, lol. There would be far more public drug use if it had more moderate weather.

Google shows Boise has 700 homeless which is certainly something.

Portland has over 15,000... So in comparison yeah it's probably nothing.

Our just go across the river to Vancouver. Night and day compared to Portland in terms of unhoused population

Does the population of the cities impact this?

A world-renowned airport often in the top three in the US, that has recently been renovated and is part of the city’s play to increase tourism. You’re getting more carpet and you better like it because if you don’t, Portland gets set on fire by Antifa again or whatever I don’t know what people outside of Portland think happens in Portland anymore.

The Blazers' new alternates are going to be made from the actual carpet remnants taken from the airport during the renovation.

Just think, Shae might be wearing part of the carpet Rasheed once walked on.

That’d be even more impressive if it had been ATL’s airport carpet.

We could just put all of our homeless in jail too if we wanted to get our numbers down.

Is that really how we want to solve homelessness?

Good point. I just saw that someone replied to my post and I didn't notice what thread it was in.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Where I’ve been they are. See, I don’t count because I’m retroactively smart for being born in Portland.

OK, Fredo...

I’ll double down. Barn door is the free throw line from the Coliseum.

Shit at least normalize the numbers to population.
