I hate to break it to everyone watching but every. single. city. has problems. I visited Portland a year ago and while you definitely notice the blemishes, you can't beat the people. The people were so kind, a little weird, a litttle whimsical. It just has good energy.

Visited Portland recently, it changed so much in 5 years. Graffiti and homeless everywhere. It was so odd seeing a tent right outside someone’s home. It was depressing. I used different Lyft drivers and they were warning me about places to avoid. I woke up on my last morning there to a homeless man screaming in the morning. So happy to leave.

I've lived in Portland in 2002, moved to Denver, and moved back to Portland in 2005. I moved here because the cost of living was cheap, everybody in the US avoided the Pacific Northwest because of the winter gloom and rains, rent was cheap, and houses were cheap. NOW, especially post-pandemic Portland....this city is crazy expensive, rent and house sale are insanely expensive...it's no wonder we have Homeless and Opioid Crisis in Portland. Sad to see many blue collar worker homeless and on drugs as an escape from the depressing reality

this did not seem like a pros and cons... just a list of pros coupled with a real estate agent advertising himself... :|

Thank you so much for the helpful well done video. I will probably be getting in touch with you at some point for some questions. 💖

Thank you. I'm looking to move there soon. This helped me secure my decision.

Is this an AD? If this was any more softball it would be a rubber ball. Schools are hit and miss? They’re always hit and miss. You know most school districts have more than 1 school? So it is up to you to find the good schools in the district? That is, unless there are bad good schools in the entire district.

I LOVE portland but you have to mention the very big issue of the homeless and junkies.

About 10 years ago, Portland was probably my favorite city on the coast. Now? Forget about it. I live in St Louis but the utter lawlessness in Portland is on a whole other level.

My wife and I are moving to Portland from Dallas, Texas. Her safety is my number one priority, so if we have to pay up on rent then I am all for it. So my question is, what zip code do you recommend and where to avoid?

A note on public transit — while our light rail and street car system could be better, busses are very easy to use and go just about anywhere in the metro here.

I wanna move to Portland Oregon but I'm hearing it's really bad. Right now such as crime and homelessness

I love PDX. Miss living there!

My daughter wants to visit the national park in Oregon is that safe? Granted we live in Chicago and I'm more nervous her going there, where I have seen people with tents everywhere. I don't see it where you are.

So wait what were the cons of the winter weather before the streetcar came through. I feel like a part of the video is missing haha.

The small town feel with big city amenities… coming from Sacramento, it seems very similar.

So beautiful

I’ve been in Houston now for 10 years for work , I would like to know your thoughts on a comparison.

I am looking to move from the Los Angeles area, a single woman with 3 dogs, I don't drive but want to give my doggos the best of the city life and nature, what is the best area? I heard Portland is very dog friendly which is one of the reasons I am so interested, I grew up in tacoma area and love the gloom as well.
