Ni hao Why do you want the US to emulate a third world country?
JK: China is very fast growing country and they are smart enough to recognize the value of roads, something that escapes local planners. That’s all. Much about Ching sucks.

Voter:Don't be a sore loser, the Portland we are building is the Portland we (the majority) want to have.
JK: Then why do the people in Portland rank traffic congestion above education quality as issues that government officials should do something about?

Voter: Ranting about something does not make it reality, nor will it turn a loser into a winner.
JK: You should memorize this. It will serve you well.

lin qiao: Nonetheless, it is abundantly clear, and has been for at least 20+ years, that whatever success the US still enjoys in high-tech and other scientific/engineering endeavors depends upon a constant importation of trained people, commonly Chinese, Indians, Iranians, Arabs, and other Asians.
JK: That is yet another reason that Portland should be a land of opportunity for newcomers instead of a land that sucks then dry to subsidize money wasting toy trains, ball parks, hotels (coming soon), uneconomic condo towers, high density development and grandiose schemes that cost seven times the original estimates.

Portland must quit wasting over $60 million in property tax money every year on urban renewal.

Thanks
JK
