It still amazes me every time I see arrest photos from Portland. The place is a harbour for fringe freaks. Granted no one ever looks good in their mugshots but c’mon.. this is loony bin worthy.
@lo A lot of these west-coast cities are really beautiful places, or were, I should say. I wanted to spend some time in a few, but I think I missed my window. Do you have this problem in the EU as well?
Oh I know. The Pacific Northwest is a gorgeous drive along the coast. I can only speak for Switzerland - but yes, the problem exists in every major city in Europe. They don’t however, cause nearly as much trouble here. In the mid 90s, the Swiss took a pragmatic approach to dealing with the drug problem. So instead, the govt supports their habits by giving them the heroin. The Swiss are not progressive by we approach some problems realistically.
