This is staggering.
Portland’s Royal Sonesta: bought for $108.3M in 2016. Now reportedly sold for $6.83M for 220 rooms—just $31,000 per key. A staggering 93.7% price collapse.
This is what happens when government fails at public safety, downtown disorder spirals, Measure 110’s consequences go unaddressed, and Multnomah County’s mental-health system fails people in crisis.
Tourism doesn’t thrive where visitors feel unsafe and downtown businesses struggle to survive.
Portland didn’t get here by accident. Policy choices have consequences—and taxpayers, workers, businesses, and property owners are paying the price.

Gabor Maté asked Theo Von why he used drugs and alcohol.
His answer: "It gave me a break from me."
That's what most anxious minds are chasing. Not the high. The off switch.
You can find it without a substance. Here's how:

i wish depression were an emergency. I wish someone could take one look at how sick I am and go “oh my god, we need to get you to a hospital!” and then when we get there I get rushed into surgery and the surgeons say “it’s a good thing you brought her here when you did, this is a seriously advanced case” and then they put me under and spend the next ten hours pulling metres of long, sticky black strands of gunk out of my body, throwing it immediately into an incinerator so that it can’t infect anyone else. And then they could stitch me back up and I could rest a few days, and when I leave the hospital everyone can see how much better I am and they congratulate me saying “well done, you’ve been so brave, I’m so glad you’re ok. I love you

I think we should be teaching children metaphysics and universal laws, the power of saying no, the art of discernment, the power of silence and stillness, the law of detachment, the truth about money (it's just energy), the importance of connecting with nature and grounding ourselves, the power of forgiveness, and, most importantly, the importance of having fun and playing.
And above all, the golden rule: “As within, so without”
