A fire was set yesterday at the base of Asa Flats, a 16-story residential building. Drew no response, either from fire department or the management company.

These reports brings out all the latent skepticism and frustration that the City and County governments of Portlandia will ever do the right thing and take Public Safety seriously. Our new form of Government and the Bolsheviks dominating it don’t appear to be helping the situation.

This is EXACTLY what I was afraid would happen! A lot of lip service, and NO ACTION. A bunch of "look what a great person I am" - eye roll - To Mayor Wilson: I don't care how great YOU are! Save everyone outside of your building. Congrats. How about those outside of the facilities you pushed on our/ my nieghborhood???? LIVE HERE! DEAL WITH THIS!!!

Exactly. If we don't keep reporting, the city and councilors will become complacent and assume all is good. All is NOT good. Today I saw no fewer than 12 drug users doing deals around the Safeway, 3 sleepers within a block of the new shelter (!). NONE of that is supposed to be happening, according the mayor. And yet we see it every single day.
