My son graduated from Univ of Portland just last May.
He and his friends never went Downtown or near the encampments (which litter the city).
I used to travel to Oregon often, on business (2000 - 2013), and going downtown was a fun distraction. Neet vibe, Micro-brews, and excellent restaurants.
It broke my heart driving through downtown last May, seeing the damage done, the number of homeless, and the open drug use.

As an experiment, it has failed!!!
