Whatever the scars from last summer’s protests, this city has strong fundamentals and is resilient. But the travails of Portland are real and offer lessons for the rest of the country about the uses and abuses of progressivism. I elaborate on that [in my column today](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRiWf3nP0TbaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wNC8xNC9vcGluaW9uL3BvcnRsYW5kLXBvbGl0aWNzLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NDUmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmtfMjAyMTA0MTQmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MjkyNDUmbmw9bmljaG9sYXMta3Jpc3RvZiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NTU1OTEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmB153h3YPJfKnhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). I see one kind of American progressivism that has focused on theatrical grand gestures and addressing injustice at 30,000 feet; this is the kind that has tolerated Portland troublemakers and that pushed to rename San Francisco schools instead of filling them. The other is the nerdy, policy wonk progressivism of Joe Biden or Elizabeth Warren, focused on practical measures at three feet to vaccinate people, expand pre-K and slash child poverty. Portland’s shortcomings are a pretty good argument for Biden-style in-the-weeds competence that makes a tangible difference in people’s lives.

I was carrying $60,000 in cash to help operate a Kabul bureau, plus several satellite phones and expensive cameras for colleagues. A dozen drivers with cars competed to give me a ride, but I worried that they might be robbers or kidnappers. So I spent 45 minutes bargaining them down in hopes that they would think I was too impoverished to be worth robbing, and finally got a ride into town unscathed. I’ve been back to Kabul many times since and was, I think, one of the first to warn that we were losing ground in that war. I had interviewed Afghan contractors supplying U.S. forces in Kandahar and they explained that they paid off the Taliban to get through; it was clear that the United States military was indirectly funding the Taliban. Now Biden has announced that U.S. forces are pulling out by September, and of course I worry about the many brave Afghan women I’ve met and all the girls going to school there. The Taliban will take over many Pashtun areas of southern Afghanistan, and they may well take over the entire country. That would be a huge setback for Afghan women, but war is also awful for Afghan women, men and children alike. It’s also encouraging that the Taliban has shown some flexibility about girls’ education, and some Taliban officials send their own daughters to school.

One lesson of this episode, I think, is that the military toolbox is not only hugely expensive but also not always that effective. I wish we had devoted more resources in Afghanistan to education and to empowering women, for the trade-offs are such that we could build and operate about 20 schools for the cost of deploying one soldier for a year. And education, in the long run, may be more transformative than a soldier with a gun.

Will meat go out of fashion or be replaced by lab-manufactured meats, reducing land needed for grazing and animal feed? Will timber be replaced by plastics or new materials that we can’t conceive of, reducing demand for forest land? Or will more people want space in the country, especially if self-driving cars or helicopters help with the commute (if there still are commutes), driving demand up? No idea, but if Bill and Melinda think farmland is a good investment that seems a bullish sign!

Your readers have absolutely made me feel better than ever about my creational birdhouses.” Here’s What We Can Learn from ‘Portland Weird’? One of the challenges in Portland is a breakdown in law and order since the protests last summer. The city is on track to reach 100 homicides this year, far surpassing the previous record of 70 set back in 1987. Rising homicides is a problem in many parts of the country, and Portland’s surge in homelessness is likewise part of a national problem. Both crime and homelessness are practical problems that don’t respond well to liberal good intentions or lofty rhetoric. There’s no silver bullet against either, but rather something more like silver buckshot. In other words, there are many interventions that make a small difference but they require painstaking effort and close monitoring. The Obama administration was able to reduce veteran homelessness by half, for example, but it was meticulous, evidence-based work — and that’s the kind of progressivism I deeply believe in and want expanded.
