    Good video. We left PDX 10 years ago. You just listed many of the reasons perfectly. Downtown is depressing in 2023.

      Thanks for watching! And I agree with you, much of the downtown area has changed a lot in recent years. It's rather unfortunate. The parts of town just to the NW of downtown are very nice tho, like The Pearl, Alphabet District, and also I was in an area recently what's known as "Slabtown" and was blown away at how nice it was all of a sudden, lots of new and up and coming businesses and new condo buildings. I personally prefer to hang out on the east side of town anyways though so I don't go over there too often. Cheers.

    I've visited Portland recently and for the most part I found it charming. Yes, there are quite a few homeless but, they weren't aggressive or bothersome to me and I find San Francisco far worse. If you have an open mind, its really a beautiful place.

    Thanks for the honesty. My aunt lives over into Washington about 1 hour from Portland. I've been out to visit and Portland was such a beautiful, fun city. I've seen videos and now it just looks so depressing. Also, whose idea was it to decriminalize drugs? Did the politicians get a discount for a group lobotomy session. Anyway, the west coast is still beautiful.

      Yeah you're right, John! This town loves their Timbers! Admittedly, I'm not the biggest soccer fan so that one slipped my mind when I made this video. I've been meaning to check out a game tho at some point. Thanks for watching! 🙌

    I left Portland (after 20+ years) because of the rain ... I left LA (after 6 years) because of the Cost of Living. Sports? Is book reading a sport (Powells)? Portland has the highest watching rate of MSNBC of all major cities ... damn, now I have to move back! By the way, has the trees grown back after that fire in the Gorge?

    One thing to note is that PDX is a border town. You've got completely different tax options in the 'Couve. There's not a lot of Western U.S. cities as big as PDX on a state line to provide that option. How PDX doesn't have an NHL team is beyond me. The arena is already here! MLB and NFL will probably never happen due to the sheer cost and infrastructure adjustments needed to support that. But NHL should, nay, NEEDS to be here. Let's get that NHL I-5 rivalry with Seattle!

      @@portlandoregonliving rural Virginia next to the blue ridge mountains about 30 minutes south of Charlottesville. Lived in PDX 2003 to 2019. I remember first coming to PDX in summer 1983. They were just building big pink, koin center , pac west center. Thought it was the best place ever. People say it’s gotten worse even since 2019. Is That true? I never know whether it’s alot of media hype anymore about how bad it is now or whether it’s true. I always loved coming to PDX to visit before I lived there. Lived on ne 80 near rose city golf course and ne 68th near Halsey. The homeless off the exit ramp drove me crazy.

      Sounds like you're in a beautiful spot! I've traveled a bit thru Virginia and it's very lovely. I'd say the pandemic exasperated certain parts of the problems you were attuned to in 2019 in certain parts of the city, but most parts of the city and greater metro area are peaceful and nice. I by no means think Portland is perfect but it's a nice place to live in my opinion and there are pockets/areas where issues are very apparent and many more where it's not. That's just my perspective though and if you're better off where you are now then by golly, that's how it should be, man! Portland certainly won't be for everyone and that's fine. The world is a big place so everyone deserves to find a spot. I'm here for those who are thinking of Portland as their spot. :) Thanks a lot for watching my videos Joe, I appreciate you. Cheers.

      Portland, as far as violent crime rates go, is very low as far as a major city. It does have a high property crime rate, which includes things such as theft, vandalism, among other things. Portland, statistically relative to other majors, is very safe, especially if you aren't in the downtown area.

    Portland really needs another pro ball team, maybe two. Portland is the 19th largest CSMA with 3.3 million people, so it's definitely a big enough market to support more teams.

      The rent is to high why are tell
      People's to come here
      We are having hard time
      Just living her
      Most of my life
      The landlord or going up the rent
      Every chance they get
      It's hard living in Portland Oregon
      Why the people's living in this city
      It's getting hard to living here
      Stop telling people's to come here
      They buy property and they think the rent should go up because where use to in another state so they come here
      The rent keep going up!!!
      The who grew up here pay the price
      For rent
      We have a lot senior here
      Where's are they are going to live
      Even low-income houseing
      Try put people's out.
      To get more rental income
      It's bad here to live in this city
