Interesting article here about companies pulling out of Portland due to the homeless problem they are experiencing, including Colombia Sportswear re-examining their moving their Sorel HQ to Downtown Portland. They're apparently having issues with break-ins of cars, death threats to employees, and human waste problems.
"Given these experiences, it is a relief when the only thing we are dealing with is the garbage and human waste by our front door. Think about that for a minute."- Columbia Sportswear CEO Tim Boyle
My only concern, so goes Portland, a liberal haven of the homeless... is Denver next? Is this maybe the reason Amazon didn't seriously consider a new location in Denver? The homeless situation in the liberal mecca of Denver seems to be getting worse.
