White collar criminals destroy economies too like 2008 banking fraud or 2023 banking problemsYou totally missed the point. If you let criminals run wild like in Portland, eventually businesses will pull out because they're losing too much money to theft and their employees are afraid to work there. When those businesses leave the city loses the taxes they paid. Eventually the city won't have enough money to provide basic services so they are forced to do what they should've been doing all along, crack down on criminals. Funny thing about the rich, people rag on them but when they say enough is enough and leave the local government suddenly realizes how important they are.
