Residents who fled Multnomah County, Oregon, in 2020 took over $1 billion in income as they searched for a better life in other areas.

The news is according to an analysis of data from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Oregonian reported Sunday.

“Numbers gleaned from annual income tax returns provide the most detailed information available on where Americans are moving — and taking their money,” the outlet said:

The latest figures, based on income tax returns filed in 2020 and 2021, show that Multnomah County lost a net 14,257 tax filers and their dependents. The county’s resulting net income loss topped $1 billion for the first time in the decade that the IRS has tracked moving data. The pandemic appeared to prod relatively higher earners — more likely to hold jobs that can be done remotely — to relocate than in pre-pandemic years. The average income of Multnomah County residents who moved away in 2020, the most recent figure available, was 14% higher than of those who moved the year prior, according to The Oregonian/OregonLive’s analysis.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Census found almost three percent of Portland’s population decided to leave between 2020 and 2022, the Wall Street Journal reported in June.

“The drop of about 17,400 to 635,000 was the sixth largest decline among the 50 largest cities,” the article said, noting that local leaders are now desperate to keep people from moving out.

In addition, “Mayor Ted Wheeler, a Democrat, has come under increasing pressure to address rising violent crime and sprawling homeless encampments,” the Journal article stated.

Portland families were reportedly packing up and moving elsewhere because of rampant homelessness and crime plaguing the area, according to a report from August 2022, reported by Breitbart News.

“Portland experienced a massive spike in its homicide rate from 2019 to 2021, recording a 207 percent increase. During that same timeframe, frequent ANTIFA riots were also occurring in the downtown area,” the article said.

In May, KPTV said Portland was “one of the fastest-shrinking U.S. cities.” A reporter for the outlet noted people said data backs up the fact that “Portland just is not what it used to be now.”

I gave this OC a unique backstory, so here it is!

Qunaka was born on April 8, 2000, in the People’s Republic of Oregon, under the Ukanam Regime at the time. She spent 4 years with her family until they were either imprisoned, tortured, or executed. This situation had left her homeless, and authorities were COMPLETELY bent on killing her.

Now before we get into more details, I want to give some information about the Republic and the Q’Zana.

The People’s Republic of Oregon (Q’Zana: Halāq àn Tsajañe àn Oregon, Spanish: Republica Socialista de los Oregón) was a democratic communist republic which was formed in rebellion against the Oregonian Government in 1947. It occupied the Californian Republic, Oregon, and Western Louisiana. Under the leader’s regimes, attempts to escape the borders of the country were punishable by fine, imprisonment, amputation, eye gouging, or execution.

Many children were torn apart from their families, famines were common, and people were barely given any food at all. Being alone was also not possible, because the government frowned upon owning private property. Many schools were even turned into prisons and concentration camps across the Republic.

The life expectancy had also dropped, in 1967, the life expectancy was 10 years! This was because of the amount of people killed during the regimes. In 2011, it was 26.

Before the Republic, the Q’Zana were a crowd of travelers originating from Portugal, and some were from the Basque region, and their language was influenced by other languages around the world (e.g. Spanish, Polish, Japanese, etc.), their language is also influenced heavily by Biblaridion’s Oqolaawak (a fictional language spoken in Pacifica, which is Antarctica if it were in the Pacific), some citizens in Oqolaam think it’s a dialect. They had never had a permanent home in their lives, until they landed in Oregon where they were interrogated, tortured, executed, and imprisoned. As a result, this caused an uprising in Oregon, marking the end of the North American Rebellion (A rebellion that caused the US and Canada to completely collapse).

But in 2012, the regime had collapsed and California and Oregon separated. The leader, Ukanam, was exiled to St. Helena, the same island Napoleon was exiled to in 1815.

Back to Qunaka, she learned many sneaky moves by herself when hiding from authorities, by taking food whenever the coast was clear, or without igniting suspicion. This was one of the only ways she could provide for herself.

Until one fateful Sunday on June 22, 2008, 7-year-old Qunaka had to devise a plan to sneak out the country, but how would she do it without getting caught? She’d have to figure that out herself… but little did she know, there were security cameras EVERYWHERE on the border.

Not thinking anything of it, she ran as fast as she could, not even knowing there were hidden guards going after her. However, she wasn’t killed like the authorities were supposed to, instead, the Dictator fined her for 800 ORD (approx. 550 USD), but she didn’t have that kind of money, she said that she’d pay anything, so the Dictator decided to let the guards gouge out her right eye. After a few minutes, the Dictator said that this was why nobody would let her make plans, but she snapped back and said that it’s not fair and that he’s a monster.

Thankfully for her, she was not killed. She continued her life they it was, except she’s have to get used to the world with only 1 eyeball, until in 2011 when war broke out between the Republic and the Triplets (Laurentia, Virginia, and Georgia), when a Virginian airship stopped by and helped the now 11-year-old girl. She was later relocated to an orphanage in Royal Woods, Chersonesus (IRL: Saginaw, Michigan). The second half of her life felt much better than the first, and as she got accustomed to foreign cultures and media, she learned more English and learned how to communicate with others, she is now 23 years old and safe in Chersonesus, Virginia.

I don’t take full credit for the timeline mentioned in this post, it belongs to NyanCat06 and Mobiyuz.

Kami Wilt is a native Oregonian who visited Austin 20 years ago and never left. She is the director and founder of Austin Tinkering School, which offers camps and classes that teach kids to build, design, craft, create, and think outside the box... and yes she does put power tools into the hands of 2nd graders. When not tinkering she is usually found enjoying the company of her 3 teenage kids, swimming in whatever natural body of water she can find, singing, songwriting, and screenplay writing, or doing the Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle (in pencil, not ink).

Alice Brady, draped in Old Glory. June 16, 1917. Bain News Service. Library of Congress, LC-B2- 4224-7. hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/ggbain.24502

From the LOC Flickr page - thanks to the commentators:

Alice Brady (born Mary Rose Brady, November 2, 1892 – October 28, 1939) was an American actress who began her career in the silent film era and survived the transition into talkies. She worked up until six months before her death from cancer in 1939. Her films include My Man Godfrey (1936), in which she played the flighty mother of Carole Lombard's character, and In Old Chicago (1937) for which she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Brady

The Sunday Oregonian, June 17, 1917, SECTION FIVE, Image 66 printed this photo wth the caption: "At the tableaux for war relief given in New York by the big stars of the movie world, Alice Brady appeared as "America." She is the daughter of W. A. Brady, the manager, and is equally at home in drama, light opera or film work. Recently the reel world has seen more of her than the legitimate stage."

I asked my husband to bring me home some newspaper, and this request apparently confused him because he thought I had suddenly become very interested in local affairs and wanted a copy of like, the Sunday Oregonian or something.

I had to very carefully restructure that request to ask for whatever random, discarded amount of newsprint someone may have thrown out, because it behaves with paint in a very specific and particular way that no other paper does, and I need some.

Apparently the local rag doesn’t deliver on Mondays though, so he brought me someone’s left over coupons they’d scribbled all over, and I really hope they didn’t actually need those 😬

For many years, in the days leading up to Father’s Day, The Man’s Shop was no doubt a busy shop. Any store that could be described as carrying “anything a man needed,” and that itself embraced the slogan, “Meet us and be well dressed,” was a natural place to buy something dressy for pop, even if he didn’t need another tie. The Man’s Shop closed right after Christmas in 2019 with a retirement sale, missing its 80th birthday year by just a few days. A family business, The Man’s Shop was run by Jerry and Bob Leveton, who carried on the tailoring traditions started by their own dad. The neighborhood around The Man’s Shop has been changing, with longstanding mom-and-pop shops closing, including The Man’s Shop’s neighbor, a popular cafe. The Oregonian called their corner of the world a holdout of a “bygone era” that represented a “sense of community.” A customer said The Man’s Shop was once “the place.” In its day, The Man’s Shop was a destination for people who wanted custom tailoring in a comfy, old-school setting. You’d get world-class service at The Man’s Shop from folks like Denny Hassler, who started working there when he was in high school and stuck around for over half a century, he told the Willamette Weekly. Almost two years after they sold their last tie, The Man’s Shop still stands. Denny’s name was on the brown paper that still covers the front door, scrawled with a message of thanks and goodbye to their neighbors in St. Johns. Next to Denny’s names were those of workers including the Leveton family. When I visited last month, I was worried this charming sign, featuring this adorable midcentury cartoon of a well-dressed, husky gentleman with a brown cardigan, skinny tie, tight slacks and a knowing smile, would be gone. But there he was, still watching over North Lombard Street, perhaps happy for the company on this now desolate corner of a thriving little town. To all the dads out there, I wish you a happy Father’s Day — I hope you have a wonderful Sunday, whether you receive a fancy tie or not. #retrologist (at St. Johns, Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQUkOUEr7io/?utm_medium=tumblr
