Add to all this the smash & grabs. In my former city (I've moved to one of those rural backwater towns) shoplifting and driving stolen cars into storefronts and stealing whatever they can (many times into pot stores). Then they sell the stuff, probably to help fund their habits, pay bills, whatever.
One pot storeowner in Seattle was interviewed on the news this morning. Their windows are constantly boarded and re-boarded up from (videorecorded) thieves smashing or driving stolen vehicles through the windows and walls to steal merch. They've been told by the city they cannot erect those concrete barriers in front to protect their property. So they'll likely close up and go elsewhere, leaving an eyesore behind.
This is why downtown Portland looks like a ghost town.
The police are bare bones, underfunded (or de-funded) and in many cases have their hands tied. Speeders and other scofflaws on the freeways are rampant because of the do-not-pursue policies.
It's just a shitshow.
