I can guarantee you that it's not just the crime and Antifa and all that is killing businesses, but the CAT tax they passed a couple of years that bascially robs businesses of their gross income (not net, but gross) if its more than a million in revenue a year, which is a pretty low bar for businesses. The company I worked at had to shell out a 20K check it's first year to cover that tax. With how expensive that place is to do business, it crushed these businesses even harder than ever. Another 4-10k a quarter for most real businesses. A restaurant with already tight margins isn't going to be able to afford it and it's just more reason to say screw it and close the business because you aren't really making any money anymore. Oregon is screwing all of their local home grown businesses with this and it's purely ironic because most of the dipshit kids out there ain't got the faintest idea of how a business works so its very easy to get them to raise taxes because "muh fascist business should be taxed more". Meanwhile they allow homeless RVs and tents to trash the city and environments so many people are simply leaving and getting the hell out like my wife and I did. They can have fun living in their own mess.
