  1. In Portland, a lot of new immigrants had food carts (what we called Roach Coaches when I lived in LA). They were good places to get an inexpensive, but tasty lunch, healthier than fast food chains, and were very popular. But, when the police stopped enforcing property crimes, and allowed homeless to camp wherever, the food cart owners often found they were burglarized during the night. The cost of constantly replacing propane cookers put them out of business. With reelection looming, the mayor has begun to reverse some of his crazier "progressive" policies, and theft and trespass violations are being enforced again. Sweeps, to get the homeless off the streets, and out of the parks, have begun.

  2. I always found it weird, that Democrats just assumed Latinos would vote blue. My maternal grandmother's family has been in New Mexico since the early 19th century, and while they were not Latino, many of their close friends were. They are conservative people, who call themselves Mexican, but speak English, not Spanish, and maybe a native American language like Navajo. And most complain much more than gringos, about illegals taking jobs. Most are Catholic. The current Republican party is a better fit.
