Nike has permanently closed their hometown Portland store because, you guessed it, Portland doesn't prosecute criminals (https://notthebee.com/article/nike-has-permanently-closed-their-hometown-portland-store-because-you-guessed-it-portland-doesnt-prosecute-criminals)

In a move that is surprising to approximately zero people who are paying attention, the Nike Factory store in Portland, Oregon is now permanently closed.
The leftist utopia of Portlandia has decided it would be in poor taste to fight crime, so iconic stores, like the Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Nike shop, can be robbed blind.
Now it's closed forever.
In February, Nike went to great lengths to try to salvage its MLK Community Store and sent a letter to Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler and city officials asking for more police presence to combat ongoing retail theft. The company was open to creating an "intergovernmental agreement" with the city of Portland to directly fund full-time police officers who would be selected to police the store or would pay off-duty Portland Police Bureau officers as contracted security.That request was denied by the city due to the police department's detrimental staffing crisis, and now the famous staple is yet another store that has succumbed to the crime-ridden city.
