A real estate developer in the Portland area is ready to throw in the towel on the city after finding bullet holes in the wall of his office.
He feels it is no longer worth putting himself at risk like this in a city with such massive crime issues.
Fox News reports that Dustin Michael Miller is the real estate developer in question and that he is a Portland native. However, he doesnt want to take the risks he has been taking to continue collecting on the businesses he has worked so hard to build in the area.
He created an Instagram reel expressing his feelings about the situation and said: Alright, Portland, Im done with you. Im over. This has gotta stop, OK?. He then turned the camera around the entire desk length and said: I work right here a lot during the day. Well, look what happened last night.
Bullet holes in the window were visible when looking over his shoulder while seated at his desk, so he says he is finished dealing with Portland. He doesnt want to put himself in a position to continue to have to do work there.
He said: If I was here [the bullets would] be in the back of my head right now, on Instagram.
Miller told Fox & Friends that the bullet holes were his last straw. He simply cant cope with the violence and crime occurring in and around his office. He commented, saying:
Its scary living there, coming to work, and finding bullet holes in your office. Its somewhere where you sit all day, and theyre right behind my head.
He then continued by saying: Its gotta stop. Our city is out of control. It is unrecognizable. Ive lived here my whole life, and its just deteriorated over the last five years.
That said, Miller says that the interim period between now and when he can leave the city of Portland will still be a scary time for him. He is not looking forward to caring for his family and business to maintain their safety when there are still so many dangers close to where they live and work. It is a difficult time to be a resident of Portland, and Miller makes it very clear that he is concerned about it.
