In 1973, Portland faced several challenges, including urban decay and a declining economy, largely due to the loss of manufacturing jobs. The city also grappled with social issues, including rising crime rates and tensions related to civil rights and anti-war protests. Additionally, environmental concerns began to surface as urban development threatened the natural landscape and quality of life for residents.
