This was a fun walk-&-talk. If you're paying these prices you're doing so because of the neighborhood. Therefore, it only makes sense to spend as much time selling the local shops as you do the house. Nob Hill is a great example of this. Love that neighborhood!
Thanks for the feedback and for watching!! I am just trying to give people the real feel for these neighborhoods and homes in a way that you can't get just from browsing on Zillow. Thanks again.
You asked us to guess when that last house was built. I'm gonna guess somewhere between 1925 and 1935. Strangely enough, I liked the $600,000-ish home better than the $700,000-ish one. Nice haircut, by the way. (I'm trying to win free coffee with flattery.) 😀
Spot on guess although I don't wanna give away the exact answer in case someone else wants to take a guess 🙃 thank you for the haircut compliment! Someone's been paying attention :) I'll toss your comment into the hat for the next coffee drawing 🤗
There aren't neighborhoods "they are usually in." Folks are constantly being displaced through sweeps (ineffective, costly, and temporary, superficial fixes), and move all around. Basic need resources tend to be clustered in certain areas, so there may appear to be more encampments/houseless folks in one area over another sometimes. Even this is changing a bit though as more community benefit organizations open up to meet the need outside of the typical areas (downtown, for instance). There's also a big push to do more mobile outreach (CCC, Portland Street Medicine) so I imagine this will change how people decide where they feel safe to stay. I'm by no means an expert but if you have real questions, let's chat. I'm speaking as a former housing case manager for a nonprofit focused on a subset of this population, a former coordinator of Medicaid benefits with many clients who were houseless or incredibly close to becoming houseless, and someone who worked on a housing pilot program that preceded the current health related social need benefits through OHP that just rolled out. I can tell you this for sure...folks go where they can be safe and where they can access resources, usually. I promise you, there isn't some plan everyone is in on to post up in specific neighborhoods to purposely cause issues for residents of Portland. Is it tough when a camp is close to your home? Absolutely. No denying that. But there's so much that goes into being houseless that gets overlooked when people want to paint Portland in a certain light to make their point. Again, let's talk. I'd love to share as much as possible about all the things I'm aware of and the incredible work being done to support both our housed and houseless neighbors navigate this tough situation.

Ok real talk. Is there a homeless encampment near by? Which neighborhoods are they usually in?
