Considering all their self-righteous bleating about the environment, you would think that letting liberals take control would at least leave us with unspoiled nature. But the wokest of moonbats have been running Oregon, and the forest looks like this:

Commentary from Kevin Dahlgren:

The land is owned by the state and has been managed by the county. Both notoriously radical. They have knowingly allowed hundreds of homeless to live in these woods for many years and have completely ignored the destruction.

Laments Troutdale, Oregon Mayor Randy Lauer:

“Despite their repeated attempts to gaslight the public, the destruction of our natural green spaces and the utter disregard for shared community lands on state and public property is undeniable.”

Lauer was not able to do anything about it. Others could, but they have different priorities.

A top priority for leftists of the sort who run Oregon and in particular Multnomah County (county seat: ultraleft Portland) is to turn as much of the country as they can into a homeless encampment. This Democrats do by encouraging irresponsibility, drug use, and mental illness, and by attacking economic productivity in the name of the environment.
