The narrative being pushed by right wingers creates a perception of cities like Portland as unsafe or economically distressed, which can dissuade investment and undermine local businesses.
A restaurateur expressed concerns that the negative portrayal of cities is detrimental, stating it drives away potential customers and investors, impacting the local economy adversely.
Despite claiming to support business interests, the tactics employed by some right wing groups seem to foster an anti-business environment, leading to economic consequences for urban areas.
This messaging appears to serve a dual purpose; it's not only about discrediting cities but also about elevating certain areas while others suffer from the ongoing narrative.
