  1. Wow - I agree with you 100%. I'm finally getting out of my $1800/per mo 400sq ft cubicle - and moving to the west side of town. I'm embarrassed of Portland...and I was one of the really proud Portlanders'. I miss going to a movie downtown, but I'm not risking it. I miss going for a walk in my inner SE neighborhood without being bothered by folks half naked on drugs acting aggressive and violently. I don't have the answers...but my compassion for others fades as my sense of safety fades.

  2. Seems like Portland started to really change once Portlandia hit. Seriously. 💯 Thanks, Fred.

  3. Beautiful little town. I spent the week out in Sherwood at a Lacrosse event as a vendor. Even tho it's much closer to Portland, it's still nice. I would love to see more towns in Oregon that are affordable and livable. Like the series already.

  7. I love Forest Park - and kind of feel blessed that Portland has this as a nature wonderland. I'm looking at the west hills now. It's beautiful. BTW - I took a trip down to Silverton on Saturday after watching your video. Lovely town!

  8.  @pacmanc8103  we also have great health care for some of us that don't make much money. It's not just the folks in the nice neighborhoods that are fed up with the city government...due to covid, my cozy basement apartment on 22nd and Ainsworth is no more. My friend, home owner, sold the place and got out of dodge. I call it the "covid epiphany" Now I'm stuck paying double the amount of rent in the middle of addiction-ville. There's good and bad.

  11. I love my home town, Portland! But it's becoming so unlivable, I might have ro relocate, due to everything you mentioned. I live on Grand and Belmont...might as well be downtown. My rent is being raised, but so are the piles of needles and human feces. $1800/MO for 400sq ft. Really.

  12. Camas wasn't all that - until they tossed in some art galleries - and all of the sudden it's expensive. I'd love to live there...but living in Washington (from Portland) I'd lose my medical.

  13. Grew up in Eugene - and every summer we'd go camping up past Oakridge!

  14. Politics is a huge line in sand for me.

  15. I grew up going to the Tillamook Creamery. Now my younger family members live there and teach school. They do have some reasonably priced rentals, but if you're job is in Portland, it doesn't really work. Might be a great place to open a coffee joint/gift shop. Looks like they need it.

  16. I'm scared to move because my health care is so good here in Oregon. In New Orleans it was terrible.

  17.  @jeffpetrie7744  I left in 2010 and went to New Orleans. I was horrified by the crime and filth...bragging the whole time about home, Portland. I came back in 2017...and well, a couple of good years, then Covid.

  18. Yep...Portland, my home town, is garbage.

  19.  @hobomike6935  I don't have an answer to that, I wish I did. I was hoping those in power...using my tax dollars might figure it out.

  20. Everything that made my city great has died. I'm sick of it, and I consider myself a liberal. Portland is trash. I don't see it recovering anytime soon. I'm close to retirement - and I'm in Mexico trying to figure it out. I'm so done. Spot on and fair list. BTW - there are way more addicted homeless than a mere 4000. One of the biggest reasons I'm out.

  21.  @miapdx503  I work to have a very small roof over my head. I'm struggling. And I'm not interested in low income housing in Gresham. Yep
