Portland is safe
Me: WTF no it's not!
Video: "I'm a realetor"
Me: Oh....he's trying to make a sale 😅
Well Mr/Mrs Cullen, I hate to be the nay sayer once again in one of your sales presentations, but I disagree with your assessment that downtown Portland is safe. I quote the homicide rate as a prime example. In 2021 there were 88 homicides in the city. The previous record was 66 in 2019. This year, 2022, there has been 69 as of the date of your posted video, Sept 28, 2022. That is exactly in pace with the record set last year. You are very correct in your video about how certain pockets of Portland are more dangerous that the ones you have just shown us. You are also correct on that most suburbs are a more desirable place to live. You Cullins, for example, live in Lake Oswego. That suburb is a separate city of 40,000 and it is considered the "Beverly Hills" of the Portland area. The beautiful Mrs. Cullen admits she hasn't been to her downtown office in years. I don't really understand why the Cullens are pushing the downtown area to live. I contend that downtown may be a great place to visit but you certainly wouldn't want to live there. The Cullens also mention other close in suburbs that at one time a wonderful place to reside. Unfortunetaly even Laurelhurst, mentioned in the video, has tremendous problems. Just recently at their very beautiful Laurelhurst Park, Police were once again trying to clear homeless camps that have taken over the park. These camps extend out from the sidewalk and through out the whole park. If any person really wants to consider a move to Portland, please arrange at least an advance trip yourself to personally check various areas and determine how you feel about it . The Cullins are very knowledgeable about the total metro are it would seem. I respect them for presenting Portland in the best possible light. I just don't agree with their presentation of the facts regarding crime. Again, this is just one man's opinion.
Hi Don! Thanks for the watch and in depth analysis. I respect your thoughts on this and that's why everyone has their own threshold for what they are comfortable with. All american cities have crime, we just need to be vigilant when we are in higher crime areas. If you don't feel safe in certain areas then trust your gut for sure. I find most parts of downtown to be perfectly safe during the day for walking around as you can see in the video. Lot's of tourists eating outside, shopping, walking around.
97 Homicides last year in PDX.
EDIT
CORRECTION: 92 homicides in Portland in 2021.
Portland drug criminalization is probably the biggest NAY.
The 2Amendment will benefit you. Oregon has Stand your ground law.
More folks. Honest folks need to pack heat 🔥.
@DonNeary get a concealed carry permit or stay out on the Westside....Try north Tampa 3am. I handled it there you can handle the Pdx region.
Oh please… come out and walk around here in SE Portland… you don’t need to watch the news to see the crime cause you see it in the streets… you all talk about the rich nice areas that a lot of people can’t afford but not the poorer areas… I’ve been here for 13 years and watch Portland just go down hill… i grew up in L.A. lived in Vegas and Arizona… Oregon is a very beautiful state but Portland is going down hill… For the love of God, don’t move to Portland!!!
You can always move to Quatama or Wilsonville or buy a gun and get your concealed carry permit brotha. LIFE OFFERS CHOICES Choose wisely.
There was a man gutted like a fish there yesterday.
and a 2nd one was also stabbed to death like 10 hours later. On pace for yet another record for murders.
@@cspdx11 There's a You tuber that goes by 'from this landscape' that livestreams there, he captures the reality of Portland and it is sad as hell.
These incidents were unfortunate for sure, they involved homeless fighting each other in old town. It's the same area where a lot of the violence in downtown takes place near the homeless camps. If all you showed was the area of old town where the homeless are being left to camp you would think Portland is a terrible place like you make it out to be but that couldn't be further from the truth.
@@movingtoportlandoregon And Ted Wheeler announced expanding safety measures in Old Town two weeks ago, that's working out well 👏 Good luck selling people houses there.
@@movingtoportlandoregon 4 homicides within 24 hours.

That was very informative Thank You
Glad it was helpful!
You haven't shown a single picture of crazy homeless people ranting and raving in your whole walk. They are absolutely everywhere downtown (and elsewhere). Furthermore people are not moving here. Multnomah county (aka Portland essentially) has lost 11,000 people last year. There isn't a city in USA that has fallen so quickly in the past 10 years than Portland.
Thanks for watching, I'm just filming as I walk around. I disagree with your statement about Portland. The city did lose some population but it was about 5k but the suburbs gained residents and other cities in Oregon had gains. check out the stats. www.oregonlive.com/business/2022/03/portland-metro-slammed-the-brakes-on-population-growth-in-2021-census-estimates-show.html
Also, I didn't see any raving homeless on my walk. Yes there are homeless and I did see some but not crazy people running around. Downtown is not as bad as you make it out to be.
@@movingtoportlandoregon I agree people fled Portland to the suburbs because its turned into a hell hole. I was one of those people.
Yes. The homeless situation is disgusting.
Yes I visited from Ireland last month and the city centre was full of people talking to themselves and homeless camps everywhere. I thought Seattle has problems until I visited Portland
Crime ain't bad. FEAR Is your own phobia. MEASURE 110 NEEDS TO BE REPEALED.
Fortunately the corrections system is offering mental health and addiction treatment.
They have there hands full.
I am glad I traveled can't do Florida heat...
Hoping these high interest rates slow the overheated market.
No it is not safe. Homeless and Drug addicts are all over. One threw up on my car.
Oh man sorry to hear that Kathryn. What part of town do you live in?
I was born and raised in PDX.
Nothing beats the vibe of Portland and the Pacific Northwest. However, it was never really that safe.
I won’t discourage anyone from moving there, but keep some protection on you.
You are right about the vibe, love it here!
@@movingtoportlandoregon And she is right about the safety issues.
What about homeless? You never talk about ‘em.
Could you tell us where are they exactly? And if they’re dangerous or not?
Thank you for your touring.
Hi Sama, check out this article here for more about the homeless in Portland and what's going on to help them. www.travelportland.com/plan/homelessness-portland/
Just watch ' from THIS landscape' youtube channel for the truth
Is anyone who's strung out on meth dangerous? The homeless people don't have mental illness, they have what's called 'drug induced psychosis '
ive lived my whole life in portland, theyll never bother you unless you bother them
LIE like your livelihood depended on it...."we feel safe living here" which translates to>>>>we live so far away from Portland that we truly don't know what we are talking about.....
Hello Hairyscotman, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I love Portland and all it has to offer. I hope you have a great day!
@@movingtoportlandoregon I feel an obligation to SPEAK THE TRUTH!!! know how to piss off a conservative??? TELL THEM A LIE......know how to piss off a liberal??? TELL THEM THE TRUTH!!!
@@movingtoportlandoregon it is not an OPINION....it's the TRUTH!!!
I just moved into the pearl district here in Portland, from Payson Arizona (population 20k) a couple days ago. I'm 18 and moved here with my 20 year old girlfriend. So far I am falling in love with the city though sadly it definitely has its homeless problem. It seems that if you make sure your car is very spotless they won't break in. The parking lot attached to my complex scares me just a little bit due to all the broken glass that is literally everywhere. I have a Harley that should be in the garage sometime after the weekend, other then walking down there early every morning to see how my ride is, everything about this city is amazing. When I speak to the house-less community (especially in the day), they are accepting to having a conversation with me. Adulting, venturing out in the city, and taking in the breathtaking views has been an amazing experience. Thank you guys for sharing your experience with me, it definitely has educated me.
Hi Trent, welcome to Portland! So glad to hear you and your girlfriend are enjoying Portland. It is a cool city right? I've helped a lot of clients move to the Pearl and everyone of them has loved it. So many cool things to explore. Have you checked out Pittock Mansion yet ? You don't even have to go in, you can do a fun hike and explore the grounds.
pittockmansion.org/visit/grounds/
Great channel. Thanks for the content.
Do you have any recommendations for an agent who may be more focused on a different demographic? I’m a single, executive, empty-nester. Not looking for family oriented neighborhoods, parks and play grounds.
Hi, glad you’ve found it helpful! I can definitely help you, I’ve helped many empty nesters downsizing and singles. I can also give you a great referral if you would rather. Shoot me an email or give me a call. I’d be happy to help.
No place is safe. Violent crimes occur everywhere. One must always be aware of potential dangers. I often pass through Portland. I used to like to stop in Portland because there are many things to like about the city, but now I just pass through on my way to my destination. There is too much squalor.
Great advice to always be vigilant, you never know no matter where you are. Where are you stopping in Portland? I'm all over Portland everyday and there are still many many great places to enjoy. Maybe try some new places and shake things up?
When you moved here it was the place to be it's not anymore I think we're circling the drain that said glad you're in Portland I noticed the comments about not having all the homeless people they seem to have cleaned it up a little bit downtown but they're there they're everywhere many many places are not safe because of them I think they're cleaning it up a bit hoping that people are not going to remember what it was like just 6 months ago so I still think we're circling the drain
The moment you said you are a realtor I know where this video clip is going. I am sure you are going to try to mention some problems but of course the goal is to sell Portland a good city to buy. I am sure there are still good and relatively safe pockets to live but you can count on those be expensive but if one can afford and have compelling personal reasons to move to then it still will be a good place for you.
Hi, all I can say is don't believe all the doom and gloom news reports. My goal is not to "sell " Portland. People either love it or love to hate it. I help provide people what's like living here through my eyes. Have a great day!
I have to laugh at people who suggest that places like Portland and Seattle are dangerous. Take a walk through North Philadelphia. If you come out alive, you'll be able to see a distinct difference.
I did exactly that. I’m still here.
Or skid row or south side of Chicago
Walmart has announced it will permanently close all its locations in Portland, Ore. why?
That’s news to me! I just googled it and it says the 2 stores closing are in the city of Portland and didn’t hit financial projections. BUT there are still a dozen locations in the Portland Metro. 😰 we still have Walmarts!
How is the homeless issue in the Pearl vs in Downtown? Living in Pearl is one thing, but the area is so small it would suck not to be able to venture out at least into downtown because of safety.
Hi Stephen, Downtown has gotten a lot better in general. Old Town (which is the the East) is where I'm seeing the majority of the tents still on sidewalks and underpasses and according to the police stats the higher crime area right now.
I think all those who say Portland is unsafe are providing a service. They are encouraging the city to take action on the homeless situation, which is good, and they are discouraging some people from moving to Portland , which I also see as good because it helps to keep home prices relatively lower than in most other big west coast cities.
I visit Portland almost every year to see my daughter and I always enjoy my visit. I personally don't think Portland is worse than any other big west coast city. There are parts where I feel unsafe, for sure, but most of the city is fine. Downtown has not recovered from the pandemic, but that is the same in every big city. I felt the homeless situation was a lot better in SE Portland on my most recent visit, though there are still a lot of homeless outside of that area.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment Alan! Lots of complex issues when it comes to the homeless problems around our country and how we deal with it.
Is this a paid advertisement by Ted Wheeler?
lol, just giving my personal view point.
I work downtown and I find it very safe. I'm downtown nearly every day and I enjoy the restraunts and bars in the evenings. I have never had a problem. Ever. Sure... Some thing have changed aince the pandemic and protests but it is still quite safe!
@@tylerkriesel8590 If you're going to try and act superior to someone and call them out you should at least make sure your grammar is correct.
You're welcome.
I'm looking into moving to Portland oregon. Just wanted to see if it's a safe area to raise my kids 🤔 from living in orange county california
It’s a great place to raise kids, crime rates definitely change depending on the neighborhood. If you move to one of the suburbs its very safe with low crime. Do you have an area you’re considering?
@@movingtoportlandoregon yes anywhere in Portland but I am not very familiar with that area so anywhere you'd recommend to take a look at.
Hillsboro, Beaverton, SW Portland, Happy Valley, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Tigard. Shoot me a text, I'd be happy to discuss.
@@movingtoportlandoregon thank you so much I'll contact you soon.
great video, thanks for posting! gives me a good idea for my channel! stay tune!
Awesome!
Can you sell in WA or just OR?
We can do both! Reach out for any questions.
Todo USA es hermoso. Amo Oregon🌲🌲 y beaberton. 🐿Bendiciones y saludos.
Thank you Pablo!
Of course the Realators are never real when it comes to the real details.
Of course the city might be great, but you MUST show the good and bads, not just all the goods.
Portland is currently horrendous vs what it was before 2020. It isnt bad, but people want actual facts.
Always ask locals vs real estate agent. Real Estate want to sell you something.
Hi Paul, I'm a straight shooter. Just because you have a different view point doesn't mean mine is invalid. I show different neighborhoods all over Portland that my clients might like to move too.
"I'm a straight shooter". 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ok nerd
It is absolutely not safe.
I encourage everyone to go look at the crime statics that are available online so you can see the crime vs a national level and also a local level. Not all areas of Portland have the same crime levels.
Nooooooooooo
Thanks for sharing
Lots of Faux News viewers in these comments...
The local news is reporting the crime, those guys are not right leaning 🤷🏻♂️
This isn't a political channel and the news only shows the crime, don't watch too much of it, get out and enjoy the city instead.
