It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I mean, both cities have a huge homeless/street people problem that contributes to crime but I think Portland just lets it run wild and Seattle is probably cracking down on it.

I'm also in portland. It's such a shithole right now. I stick to riding my euc around west of portland, and I always carry a gun nowadays.

We need more shelter space, shelter quality and security, and need to make all camping and loitering illegal and enforce it
