Tijuana is probably the worst of all the western cities. From worst to least worst in the west I’d say: 1. Tijuana 2. Portland 3. San Francisco Bay Area 4. Los Angeles 5. Sacramento 6. Seattle 7. Vancouver 8. San Diego
It's just to dangerous walking downtown at night with your camera. So many shootings. It's nice you do the videos and they are excellent, but Portland at night. I can't stress enough how dangerous it has become.
It’s not that dangerous. They’re also in old town and most of Portland isn’t this bad. There are not “so many shootings” I’ve lived here two years and walked around town at 3am and I never was bothered. Quit telling lies
I live in Austin and there is tons of homeless people but I still can't imagine them living literally on the streets downtown. They are however really close to it.
I’ll give you a little hint tho. Downtown Portland is prob the least Portland vibe in the whole county. Most people that live here don’t hang out downtown much.
@@Dsowers777 : If. You. Have. Money! Portland has become a playground for the wealthy, while RENTS, and real estate, are way out of reach for many! A large # of Portlanders are (unsurprisingly) furious about it, so bear that in mind, wealthy, entitled tourists.
This has only become normal in the last few years. Most of us find it disgusting. But in places with high levels of pathological "kindness", they seem to think it's perfectly okay. Right along with pooping on the sidewalk.
This is literally right around the Salvation Army which supplies people with four free meals a day everyday, so lots of tents around the Salvation Army off burnside. Been like that the last 30 yrs. very small area of Portland. About a ten block radius
@@Dsowers777: Are you kidding?! There were NOT people living in tents on Old Town (which used to be called Skid Row) sidewalks, 30, or even 20, years ago! It’s a more recent scourge/health and safety threat, that is now all over the metro area and beyond.
Wow, this is amazing ❤️👍 thanks for sharing this with us my friend. Let's stay connected together. Best wishes for upcoming days 👍 Hope to see you soon 👍 Stay blessed and stay safe 😊 Greetings from "Living Life"💚
You should walk around nw 23rd next time Just about twenty blocks west from where you were. Much nicer more peaceful area for night walks. Especially thru the neighborhoods with the beautiful huge houses from the 1800s. Then forest park merging with the neighborhoods, it’s beautiful really. Concrete jungle in this area
I can believe it and it's gone on for years. I left I could no longer take a city intentionally allowing itself to decline. It was once one of the better cities to live in. It's very sad it's such a dump now.
@@DemonicEmpowerment You can round them up for illegal behavior like Evgenii mentioned, and then institutionalize them and force them to get clean through rehab. You're doing them no favors by allowing them to live like this, and it's destroying the city's image, bringing less tourism (which was a big part of Portland's economy, since it's a very weak city for major corporations). This is the product of pathological altruism. Where helping people equates to meeting their most basic needs without putting them on a long-term path to autonomy and self actualization. Virtually all of the chronically homeless have either drug dependency issues or are refusing to take medication for psychosis. They aren't "down on their luck"--those sort of people usually find a way out of homelessness within a few months.
Portland’s “China Town” was always more of an idea than a real thing. It has also always been adjacent to the worst part of downtown since the 1970’s. They did recently add the Chinese Garden but prior to that is was just a collection of Asian Restaurants and an official designation.
@@GeneralBlorp I suppose that’s why it’s got one of the largest Asian populations percentage wise of the major cities? Because Asians just love to live amongst those who dislike them? And I guess Portlanders must drink their fresh water with a lead chaser because the fresh snow melt city water supply contains no lead.
@@sobmaz: By the time Old Town began to be developed, what remained of China Town was largely hidden behind closed doors. A group of businesses decided to leave their aging, historic buildings, and relocate across the river to 82nd Ave., where they successfully re-established themselves.
Every City has it's boom and bust period. Portland used to be nice when I lived there. Just like Detroit used to be nice when more people lived there. Portland is on decline, accept it. Hope it gets better but it probably won't. People keep advocating for a city that is killing itself. Be Smart, move, the grass is greener, and move affordable, in many other places.
What a silly meaningless comment. Why do I have a difficult time believing your comment ‘Hope it gets better but…’. That is a clear indication of the typical narrative promoted by right wing media. Without that glimmer of ‘I hope..’ it would be perceived by most as un-American.
@@pacmanc8103 and so was change. If I hope Portland changes then what the hell do you think that means?? Bud, you're so thick you can't even decifer the English language.

So cool walking at Night thanks for sharing this video
So sad to see the state of that city. Seems like all west coast cities from San Diego to Vancouver are rapidly deteriorating.
Tijuana is probably the worst of all the western cities. From worst to least worst in the west I’d say:
1. Tijuana
2. Portland
3. San Francisco Bay Area

How are you holding this camera? Just with your hands or do you have your phone around your neck? Filmed with a go pro? Inquiring minds wanna know
he films it on a tripod
I live in Austin and there is tons of homeless people but I still can't imagine them living literally on the streets downtown. They are however really close to it.
Hope you post more videos. Would love to see Portland residential rain walk, maybe SW Hills.
So Beautiful
I agree, I love all the tents and drug addicts 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Oh my goodness! This is so beautiful. Sublime. Love this so much! Thank you!
Come visit. Portland is amazing :)
I’ll give you a little hint tho. Downtown Portland is prob the least Portland vibe in the whole county. Most people that live here don’t hang out downtown much.
I used to live there in the fall of 2004 to summer 2007 it was gorgeous. How is it now?
@@Dsowers777 so I've lived in Portland for half a year and still can't find places that don't suck. Where are they??
@@Dsowers777 : If. You. Have. Money!
Portland has become a playground for the wealthy, while RENTS, and real estate, are way out of reach for many! A large # of Portlanders are (unsurprisingly) furious about it, so bear that in mind, wealthy, entitled tourists.
all these Tents man.....here in germany ( Ruhrgebiet ) i have never seen a tent on normal streets.....it disturbing me
This has only become normal in the last few years. Most of us find it disgusting. But in places with high levels of pathological "kindness", they seem to think it's perfectly okay. Right along with pooping on the sidewalk.
@@americandirt7834 real kindness would include affordable apartment rentals at least.
@4k Nature and City Walks hey! Just making sure you are ok! Haven't seen you upload a video in a while. Hope all is well!
Thanks for the comment. I'm fine I just decided to take a break. I do plan to begin uploading again eventually with current content
I'm glad you're ok! :)
Look forward to seeing more of your vids! Thank you for the time and effort. ✌🏼
What's Up Pal. Can't you sleep. I see Portland tent living is still around. Hope they can all find affordable lodgings soon.

@@Dsowers777 That's not true. The tent situation has never been worse than it is now.
homelessness has increased a lot the past two years it's never been this bad

What’s your point? That wealthy whites even in woke ass Portland can find a place to hide? What a sh*thole that city is
What would really be nice would be more affordable housing.
@@mE-zx7pt Seriously. That comment just shows that many people just don’t want to look at reality.
I cannot believe Portland tolerates this
I can believe it and it's gone on for years. I left I could no longer take a city intentionally allowing itself to decline. It was once one of the better cities to live in. It's very sad it's such a dump now.
Are you suggesting we round them up and drown them in a river? What's your ACTUAL solution? You cant just arrest people for being poor.
@@DemonicEmpowerment but you can arrest people for shitting on sidewalks and smocking crack on public

@@americandirt7834 unfortunately many people who work these days still can afford the ridiculously high rents.
Hi I'm Jack from Yousat TV, do you have an email I can reach you on?
If you're gonna be homeless, be homeless in beautiful Portland.
Make more videos.
Oregon is basically a poor man's California with crappier weather.
Yes
And angrier meth heads EVERYWHERE
scary and dangerous!
Honestly doesn't really look like much of a Chinatown, at least compared to the ones I've seen in LA, NY and even Seattle.

little know fact, most of Portland extremely racist and xenophobic towards literally everyone who didn’t grow up there drinking lead in the water
@@GeneralBlorp I suppose that’s why it’s got one of the largest Asian populations percentage wise of the major cities? Because Asians just love to live amongst those who dislike them? And I guess Portlanders must drink their fresh water with a lead chaser because the fresh snow melt city water supply contains no lead.
@@GeneralBlorp do you even live in Portland?
