I found this video so informative if you could possibly elaborate on the cost of living maybe in some detail that would be most appreciative. I’m planning on visiting visiting with some friends hopefully this summer. I have two friends that live in the state but not in Portland. New subscriber here. Great job thanks for sharing hope to hear back from you soon.😄

    I’m 18 years old and planning on moving with my boyfriend from Southern California. We both knew we wanted to get out of Cali and go somewhere more intimate and away from such large cities like LA. We both want somewhere where’s there’s more nature and more of a closely knit relationship. This seems like such a great place especially coming from a black woman.

      I'm a native Oregonian and yes the crime is ridiculous compared to what it use to be. When innocent people are getting shot just driving down the street I wouldn't say it's safe. Homeless people are EVERYWHERE any patch of grass they see they'll put a tent and know at some point your car will get broken into it's just a part of life if you live anywhere near the downtown area. It's awful I would think long and hard before moving here.

      When it does rain, it's usually just alight drizzle, hardly rain. Portland is actually not as rainy as people say it is. A lot of places in the US get more rain.
      I moved here expecting lots of rain, I was quite disappointed. The entire summer is usually dry. It sucks, too much sun in July/August.
      Oregon is more like Northern CA than Washington state, as far as climate goes.
