Portland woman plows into Las Vegas pedestrians with car

[dviss1]

The thing that he fails to realize, is that people are being displaced all over Portland. It's not just people from North Portland. It's not just black people.

I was born in SW Portland. I was raised there. My parents were born in SW Portland. My grandparents were born in SW Portland. I cannot afford to buy a house in that area right now. The house that I was renting from my parents previously was purchased for $15,000 in the late 70's. That house is currently worth $300k. It's a shitty little 750 square foot house with a 750 square foot basement. I bought a 1600 square foot house out in Hillsboro for $265,000. That's the current housing situation in Portland. It's not just NE or N Portland. It's everywhere in Portland. People can't afford to buy, and rent is climbing out of control. The housing situation in Portland is unlike anything we've ever seen in this city. He just wants to act like it's only affecting him and people he knows, but that's not true. It's affecting everyone who was born in this city.

You really post some dumb assumptive shit sometimes. Nobody said it was only black people being gentrified. But if you want to burn that strawman go ahead and do it.

Did I say that you did? I'm talking in general, but go ahead and make personal attacks without evening addressing the point of my post.

Oh, and by the by, you said "She could easily be from where we've been gentrified to...."

Which "we" were you referring to kemosabe? Native Portlanders?

[dviss1]

And that wasn't a personal attack. I was specifically referring to some of the posts that you make as being dumb and assumptive.

 

[Natebishop3]

The first part of that sentence was addressed at you. That people are being displaced all over Portland.

That's the thing about a "period," it means the sentence is over. It's done. You chose to attribute the other two sentences to your post.

 

[dviss1]

What's funny is to me is that I'm making a comment on the other ignorant comment stating that she was from NEP. That's why I made a snarky comment in the first place.

Whatever dude... the whole paragraph that I quoted was about my post whether you like to say it or not.

I was expanding on the point, that it's not just one area that's being gentrified, and adding that it's not just one demographic. It wasn't meant as a personal insult or an attack. You chose to take it that way.

Folks won't get displaced if they buy a home. Solves the problem. Renting is and always has been a crap shoot. If you're a local and want to keep Portland that way, beat the Californians to the punch and invest in the city.

If property taxes keep going up, they become cost prohibitive.

they will keep going up because for some ridiculous reason Oregon won't have a sales tax...but even with the cost of property tax...a bill you have to budget for every year..it's nothing like throwing away rent money with no equity

We won't pass a sales tax because we know that they won't get rid of a property tax. They'll find a way to justify having both.... like.... "it's for the children!"

 

[PDXFonz]

I know, it's so sad. It's almost like we should designate certain areas to stay poor and crappy just for black people.

I hope I don't have to deal with being enslaved by alien overlords so people like you can learn your lesson.

Lame.

Air BnB and live a nomadic lifestyle.
Offices replaced by WeWork Collaborative Spaces.
Cars replaced by ride sharing.

 

[Sinobas]

By far the most ignorant comment you've ever made.

Is it? Develop an area, the white man is trying to gentrify the area. Leave it poor, the white man is keeping the brother down. Nothing makes you people happy, take responsibility for your own life.

People need to stop having kids, then 'they' won't be able to use that excuse anymore.

Do you really think property taxes has anything to do with why this woman, Lakeisha ran down all those people? Or is she just doing her part to further the cause?
The name Lakeisha suggests she maybe see herself, as of the tribe of Shabazz. Anyone see a clue here?

I still see meth. The drug that causes people to pawn their great grandmother's wedding ring or worse.

I see meth, said it before I saw her picture. Heard it was an old piece of shit car with Oregon plates......meth.

I too was displaced from my modest Lake Oswego neighborhood as a young adult, mostly by wealthy black basketball stars who brought marauding entourages of gangsters and drug dealers, wreaking havoc with the greens at Oswego Lake Country Club and scaring little old ladies out of Vip's Diner. Why can't they stay in NEP and keep dviss happy? Why do they not see the allure of squalor and decay?

When you lived in Lake Oswego it was still called Sucker Lake and basketball hadn't been invented yet.

My friend in Dallas, TX, which has a total sales tax of 8.25%, is selling his home for about 2/3 what mine would sell for right now, and it's assessed at about 2/3 what mine is assessed at.

Despite paying sales tax, which I do not, his property tax is a whopping 45% higher than mine.

Close. Oswego Creek was still called Sucker Creek. Lake Grove was considered a separate city in many respects.

"Authorities say the woman suspected of crashing into pedestrians on a Las Vegas Strip sidewalk was stoic when she was arrested."
Stoic and meth seem right?

"The FBI is involved in the investigation."
I shouldn't think the FBI would be needed if it were a simple meth case.

A so called drug recognition expert said she wasn't drunk but appeared to be under the influence of a "stimulant"


Whatever crazy shit she may have yelled doesn't mean shit.
You can see her forehead in her mug shot. Meth.

She doesn't fit the poor white trash stereotype but she's from Portland. I saw meth zombies in Vancouver the first day I was visiting in October of 2014. We crossed the 205 bridge at 9am and stopped at the Walmart right off the freeway.

There were 2 junkies in the parking lot stumbling towards the entrance. They sat on the power scooter and plugged in their phones to charge them.

It was weird to see more druggies in Vancouver than Las Vegas.

 

[MarAzul]

Any truth here?

"This was an act of Islamic Terrorism, perpetrated by an Islamic woman driving a car with a three year old child inside, who INTENTIONALLY rode onto the sidewalk to strike innocent people. Police, however, have been instructed by their superiors to NOT use the word "terrorism" in relation to this incident, because Las Vegas does not want tourists to be frightened away from the city."

"One blog, SuperStation95, did report the woman screamed “Allahu Akbar,” while driving into the crowd, but that information hasn’t been substantiated by police or reported in other media outlets."

What a asshole. She wastes a beautiful mother and leaves her husband and child devastated. She deserves a pit burial with head exposed and fire ants released upon her

They should have both. I do believe that the property tax should unbind itself from the value of your home. That's the reason why it keeps going up. Home values are going to continue to rise.

You once called me racist for using the term "white people"... Then you post bullshit like this... You really post some shit that a racist would post... Then you wanna call me one... Typical..

 

[Further]

There lissome straight up racism in this thread. If you are one of the offenders, regardless of if you are posting it cause you believe it or just to get under dviss1's skin, it's gross and something you should feel ashamed of. Makes me feel dirty coming to these forums some days.
