Here we go again - Portland's commercial real estate dumpster fire claims another victim as PAC West Center sells for $55.7 million, a fraction of its 2007 purchase price of $161.5 million.

We break down how progressive policies destroyed billions in tax revenue, why businesses refuse to lease space next to drug-addled zombies wielding swords, and the hilarious mental gymnastics city officials perform to blame everyone except their own catastrophic decision-making. From Big Pink's fire sale to the tax compression reality check hitting Portland's city council - this is what happens when ideology trumps common sense.Is anyone surprised that property values crater when your street conditions look like a methhead utopia? How long before these progressive leaders admit their policies created this mess?
