I used to work in downtown Portland. Literally every other Saturday--and I'm not even exaggerating, twice a freaking month wasn't uncommon--protests shut down the streets downtown. I worked at a building right in the center, and had to work Saturdays. It was soooo annoying to drive to work, only to find out I can't drive to my building, and must park several blocks away and pay for parking because fucking twats.
Or even worse was when I had a 5am shift and drove to work only to have the streets shit down after I already parked at work, blocking me forcing me to wait until 2 or 3pm before I could leave.
One of the last Saturdays I was in portland, they had a riot so bad that parking was free for a couple days because of the riots cost to local, small businesses. Imagine having to pay people to come back into the city
