Hey you actually went to the east side! I see so many of these videos and people always stick to downtown.
You belong in Texas- where there's no crime, perfect weather, affordable housing....andno Indians! Psych- lots of high earning Indian physicians in Texas- I know because I work for them:) Oh yea, no taxes in Texas because the government there doesn't fund anything - not streetlights, or sidewalks. Texas will show you what a low quality of life is, for sure. Now git!!
I check Zillow every day in Portland , Northwest 23rd I am finding rents for $950
Wow, nice find. How many sq. Ft are those places?
Pioneer Square is empty Hey bud I owned a business there for several years until 2009.This segment proves it is abandoned.You cannot pretend and blame it on press..So much potential lost.The city allowed a vibrant small biz population to be killed off.Thinkbabout that!Be truthful but unbiased and you will gain an audience.Leaving now halfway through.
Fair enough. I appreciate the feedback my friend!
Saturday Market used to be packed!
I remember those days back when it was such a cool vibe to go down there!
The media 'over blew it'.😅😅😅😅😅 Delusional
I was robbed there , also had my bike stolen (yes it was locked up) i had to walk to centro and was followed by 2 guys for 5 blocks luckily for me I stepped into a restaurant and the people there walked me back to my apt.That was 2014, I had been going there since 2002. Never returned.
Wow… thanks for sharing that… scary stuff for sure but it definitely does happen and seems to have gotten worse lately in that area. Glad you made it through safely.
I will say it does seem a bit less grimy and a little less homeless but it’s DEAD down there 7 days a week. Easily the most boring and lifeless city I’ve been to. Only people down there are also just Portland weird types. Zero urban hip bars, stores, restaurants, or well dressed interesting people. Sucks as there’s a giant chunk of the city that isn’t worth the time to visit. Same can be said for much of the neighborhoods. Moved here from a much larger city a few years back and am amazed how lifeless and dead Friday and Saturday nights are on the main stretches of the “cool neighborhoods”. Think the people that are still here are just content living life like a cat at home.
Totally agree. Coming back there after being in Mexico City, which is vibrant and teeming with life, I couldn’t believe how boring and bland it felt. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts
Portland annoys me, It's dull, and the traffic is fucked!
Agreed. To the point I moved very, very far away. Thanks for watching.
As a right-leaning person, would living in Portland be tolerable?
@@avengemybreath3084 great question! Tbh, Portland proper would be a struggle and challenge your mental health potentially. Certain suburbs, like Sherwood, would likely be your better option. Thanks for watching!
@ Excellent advice, thanks! I wish I could find a lively city in America that wouldn’t strain my mental health!
Be cool if you cover St john neighborhood
Great idea! Any particular highlights you had in mind? Thanks ❤️🌲
@theropemonster just see how St johns is doing, cost to live and over vibe from people living there.
Moved to Portland from Alabama and all I can say is that Portland could literally get nuked today and I’d still rather live their than Alabama, so much more accepting, less hot, way more stuff to do, mountains, walkability, and the rent in Portland isn’t that bad, I looked on Zillow the other day out of curiosity and I found plenty of apartments (like 1000) for less than $1500 a month
I loved living in Portland, so much do do and my rent was pretty cheap, but now I bought a house in Gresham and it’s nice having my own place and a yard
Congrats on the yard! Sounds nice. Thanks for checking out the video ❤️🌲
@ thanks man, it isn’t bug but I’ve got a garden so it’s plenty for me
Having moved out of Portland 3 years ago I would say it definitely appears to be cleaner. Having worked downtown for years I would say fewer people are hanging out there. I also need to let you know that as of next month Multnomah County is reinstating their passing out of tents & tarps. They have also decided not to expand the Clean & Safe program that was purposed to cover more of the downtown core. Once the tents & tarps start getting passed out again I'm sure there will be an uptick in the sidewalk camping. I would hope to see them move forward not backwards but I'm guessing now that they have expanded their City Council and elected more social justice warriors to both the city and county seats there's little likelihood of that.
Wow, lots of value added there with all that information, albeit (more likely than not) unfortunate news for Portland as far as safety and cleanliness goes. Many thanks for checking out the video and contributing to the conversation!
this place is horrible beyond your wildest imagination. it’s like the zombie apocalypse. the whole state is. don’t come here. you’ll hate it.
👍🫡
I was here in 2020 and it was a shithole, filthy, riots every night, graffiti everywhere, litter, statues torn down and still missing, tents everywhere, needles, deranged behavior all.over the place, hearing flashbangs from the riots at night. What is that kid talking about? It was awful all over except for the West Hills. Has it improved? Yes, at GREAT cost to the taxpayers of Oregon, the entire state contributed to Multnomah county's clean-up. My local bank is boarded up right now in anticipation of post election rioting and I expect it will stay up until after inauguration. This town is very left wing and has large contingent of antifa and supporters. The school kids are given days off to "protest" which I assume is grooming for antifa, this in a state which ranks 45 in educational rankings and schools ranked among the worst in the nation. Portland needs a change of attitude if change is REALLY going to happen.
Thanks for sharing! Big changes definitely need to come or the overall trajectory will still be pretty awful for sure
3 1/2 thousand likes after two weeks. Guess you didn’t get in the right wing Portland hate algorithm, so I’m deducing when I haven’t even watched the video yet that you’re making a pro Portland video.
Lol well it definitely wasn’t “pro Portland”… just an update and stating that certain things were looking better than 2020 and 2021
checking in from the alphabet,love living here
Thanks for checking in my friend! 🌲❤️
The plywood over windows was because of the election
Oh ok that makes sense. Thanks for watching
Yes, Nikes flagship store is closed. That was supposed to be the store that shines in the ghetto. It was a epic failure. Haven fun watching Portland melt to the ground! Jesus saves! Christmas and Trump are on the way. Grab your marshmallows Portland.
I might leave Portland for a suburb but i don’t really see myself leaving the area
That’s a good option though for sure. Thanks for checking out the video 🌲❤️
I live in Washington county. Less than 30 mins from Portland. I took a test run from Beaverton to the airport on MAX which would be convenient. It's right at 1hr from the transit station. 70% of the ride is Ok but going through parts of downtown on both legs of the trip, a few people got on just being anti-social and annoying. Smoking weed, being loud with music. The police were at the stop near the Lloyd Center but never boarded the train. It also got a bit crowded in places. I don't want to deal with that and luggage. Also, the train goes to a few spots away from traffic. There are still pockets of tents cities away from view. Yes, Portland is much better but they still have a long way to go. From major cities across the US to those across Europe I don't see where downtown has anything to brag about. There is still a pack of fentanyl zombies at night in pockets, so beware. The new airport upgrades are very nice, so credit for that.
Totally agree, the airport is at least looking incredible! But yea, long way to go for Portland and for me personally, I don’t think I could ever move back. Certain cities in Latin America have much more appeal to me if I was going to live long term in a big city. Thanks for sharing your experience with the MAX, interesting stuff
I have just semi retired (not working. Living off savings). I want to do 6mo-1yr in Vienna. Trying to work that out.

I live in Vancouver now, but I was downtown having my phone battery changed at the Apple Store and had two hours to kill, so walked around the downtown core. It was mostly deserted (on a Friday afternoon), with empty storefronts and permanently boarded up windows on others. Yes, much cleaner and felt much safer than a few years ago, but far from the bustling, beautiful, most enjoyable downtown I remember from several years ago. I used to really enjoy going downtown Portland - not I try to avoid it.
Thanks for sharing your experience and checking out the video! I definitely felt the same vibe you’re describing. The businesses leaving should be a major concern for anybody living there long term.
You sound ignorant AF…🤦🏻♂️ you seriously sound like a crybaby to us…. What you’re going through is nothing compared to what Mexicans…both legal & illegal are going through in the US! Sorry if we don’t feel bad for you…As your people like to say “Don’t like it…go back to your country!” And I mean back to England!
All that plywood was an expectation there would be riots after the election. Which never materialized, but they just had not taken the plywood down yet.
Glad to hear that! Thanks for sharing the info and checking out the video 🌲❤️
Yes, Portland has come a long way in the last couple of years. There are still a few spots around the area needing work but they're on it and in my experience most of Portland is back to normal. I was just downtown a few days ago and it was clean and quiet and beautiful. Those boarded buildings were because of the election...back to normal now. Businesses need to work on getting employees back downtown.
Thanks for sharing Judy! So happy to see the progress ❤️🌲
Hello. While I truly appreciate your walking tour of my neighborhood (life long), I have to tell you that when you are south of Stark Street, beyond the arches you showed, you are not in Laurelhurst any longer. Stark is the southern border of Laurelhurst. Thank you
@@katherts yes very true!! Thanks for clarifying that! “The Laurelhurst area” would’ve been a better way to preface the video. Thanks for watching ❤️🌲
You are all welcome, just don't change the culture for your comfort, if you liked here for it, why are you trying to change it? Once a guy in la roma was asking me if i belong there ... Just cause i was waiting a cousin on the stairs....
@@davogar 💯 agree with that point! I am in México because I want to be in MÉXICO! Not some watered down version of it. I have discovered some other neighborhoods that are a better fit for me but will always adore La Roma. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 🇲🇽❤️
@@theropemonster as a Mexican i can tell you thats what makes them upset, but imagine i go to the usa and i demand a burger in a popular resto with mexican bread just cause i have more money than the locals.... So locals would change their idea about the new neighbors. Mexicans in the USA have always been treated with racism, and then they are at home and in your own home they try to change it. So the feeling of belonging is gone, obviously Mexicans will get defensive, i truly get both sides, i have been a foreigner in Europe but i pay my taxes and i didn't demand a Mexican cola in the local store... Respect to be respected. That's all
this guy truly doesn't know anything about Portland Laurel hurst is one of the richest enclaves in Portland It's chalk full of liberal Democrats and they get all the services before anybody else does Just about any other neighborhood
I literally opened the video by saying that Laurelhurst was one of the well-to-do parts of Portland so…. And I was born and raised in Portland so I know a thing or two about the city. Thanks for watching
I live in Louisville, Ky., which has all the same homeless, crime and soaring rents problems to the same degree -- It does not have the problem of an influx. In fact every medium sized city -- Indianapolis, Peoria, Cincinnati, among ones I have recently visited -- has seen surges in gun crimes, street drugs, sidewalk camping and soaring rents. There's no place in the U.S. to flee to to avoid these messes. But there are a lot of cities with far less of the good of Portland.... And re: the giving out of needles -- refraining from doing that caused AIDS to soar. Check into the small town of Austin, Ind. The oh, so moral governor Mike Pence stopped a needle distribution there after addictions soared. The result of Pence's move was that AIDS began wiping the town out. Needles being given out are not done to make being homeless "cool," but as a needed response to save thousands, maybe millions of lives.
Excellent point there. Thanks for sharing
Only tourists go to Voodoo and downtown. The people saying bad things about Portland either don't want you to move here or have a political axe to grind. They don't want to admit that
Great video thanks for showing us current conditions in Portland. 😊😊😊❤
My pleasure, thanks for watching and supporting the channel! 🌲❤️
I was there last month and it is BEAUTIFUL! 🌲❤️ The media EXAGGERATES if you didn’t know lol.
Well it WAS that bad in 2020 just a few months tho <3
8:18 BORDED WIDOWS WERE FOR THE ELECTION AND ARE GONE ❤️ They had nothing to do with previous issues.
I visit Portland three times a year and plan to move to Sellwood, which resisted the overall shitification downtown suffered. Things seem to be improving and overall, it's a great little city that has never felt unsafe. Just grimy and sad, thanks to the decriminalization of drugs.
Love Sellwood, just had coffee there the other day at Slow Pour! Best wishes with your move 🌲❤️
Glad I found this on my recommended!! I’m from Minnesota and looking for a place to backpack this winter that doesn’t get below freezing, so I might have to try the Oregon coast out!
The Oregon Coast is definitely a great option! Thanks for checking out my channel 🌲😎

😂I think it’s funny cause ppl in Mexico are complaining about Americans moving in cause your jacking up their prices
@@vannee2426 I don’t think it’s quite that simple but yes, SOME Mexicans are upset by the influx of gringos. Many however, have been welcoming and friendly. Keep in mind too, that the property owners (Mexicans) who are jacking up the rents are to blame as well. In one word, greed, is to blame for a lot of the inflation and displacement of locals from their neighborhoods. Thanks for watching
Native Oregonian and that is also in my top 5 hikes. You go through an amazing grove of old growth to get to the cape. Love it.
Thanks for sharing!! I do this hike every chance I get 🌲☀️😎
Tesla is no longer a symbol of Portland. It's a Texas, Florida and every other red state thing now🤮
😕
Native Portlander here. Windows were boarded up again downtown just before election day. Also, boycott Starbucks and Tesla. They support the genocide in Palestine.
I have lived here all my life and Portland is a toilet. You can keep.
The funniest part is all the "content creators" making the "What is Portland like!" video is.. they go to the same part. Downtown, Old town and NEVER go up to 20th NW, or to Hawthorne, Alberta, Mississippi etc. It's weak content and lazy. You did not even show 10th and Burnside? Get your clicks!
Been there bro. It’s literally my home. Enjoy it. I’ll take MX
Portland has gone downhill with high crime and drug addiction. Move out to the suburbs where it’s significantly safer. It’s sad what’s happened throughout the city.
They boarded up everything for the election. Thats all new.
I've lived here in Portland 12 years, I've never not felt safe walking the streets daily
I’m a local Portlander and I can tell you that the plywood on the windows downtown is only for the election, put up momentarily in case of protest. It was not there before, nothing notable occurred, and it is already cleaned up.
Thanks for the update! Much appreciated
I've lived in Portland my entire life. During the BLM protests there were a few blocks that were bad, but it was limited geographically. The homelessness problem was the result of a number of factors including the pandemic. As someone else pointed out the plywood was added recently due to election riot concerns. Guess what? Even though a fascist turd was elected as president, there were no riots or violence. Portland is fine. Thanks for asking.
Happy to see things staying peaceful. Those BLM protests bordered on terrorism for awhile IMHO because of the random acts of violence by a few individuals who decided to break the peace. Me and my ex gf literally got trapped between blocks that were shut off and people were trying to open our car doors because we “didn’t have BLM stickers on our car”… she was terrified being from Mexico and having never experienced anything like that in her life. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
@@theropemonster Yeah. The idiots wearing all black were shits but the majority were peaceful and airing grievances that are completely legitimate. This is all made more obvious by the ascendance once again of Dump. We have problems. Mainly an uninformed population that gets their news form GD social media. Read actual news people!
Also you should edit the video to point out that the plywood is recent. JFC.
