$500k for a starter house, median household income $85k for Portland area. Median price to income ratio is 7.2x (it was 3.7x 50 years ago). That's your problem and it is nationwide. Rates have simply normalized, they are not high.

I gotta say if you're LGBTQ or simply misprofiled, I have heard the f slur here way more than most other places. a lot of bigotry going around

It’s not a houselessness problem. It’s a drug and mental health problem, particular to the east side, on the daily.

Don't overlook Amity as another rural town in the area. Similar to Yamhill, not as big as Carlton but closer to Salem if you need to travel south.

Yamhill does NOT have an adequate water supply to accommodate more homes. We were at level 2 water restriction this year and it wasn’t the first. The city council vetoed a new housing development due to this urgent issue. The planning commission voted no on the capacity to build more houses. Yamhill’s fire district can’t answer the calls now as needed. We don’t have a sufficient volunteer base. Don’t move here!

Gaston does not have a Human Bean, we do have a fantastic coffee shop but is not the human bean, just better. We also no longer have a libary. Hagg lake is not the only thing Gaston is known for. Also races in banks are Saturday nights. I get what you're trying to do, but it sounds a lot like mockery of our rural communities.

You leave my small town alone 😡

Great

The biggest think influencing Portland despite what haters this isn’t local politics. It is the wider economy. The Fed has never increased rates that fast from a low. So the pain is purposeful

What is with the music in the background? Soooo annoying

Thank you for this… I agree with all you have said!

Truth

You should show the county map of the US states and voting results along side that map you showed us @13:44. Then people would know why the Oregon counties of Wallowa, Union, Baker, Malheur, Grant, Harney, Morrow, Wheeler, Crook, Lake, Sherman, Jefferson and Klamath have all voted to leave Oregon for Idaho. Why pay those high taxes when there is no representation. The people of the metro mostly have the illness Well done on video quality.

The cult of deviance? Teachers teach identity sexuality to children in the public schools? Why do people refer to Portland as "weird"?

From California. Been living in Texas for the last 5 years. Moving to Portland Oregon in the near future. Texas is hot and boring.

30 minutes to downtown Portland from Newberg?

16:19 that’s not Vancouver WA. Vancouver Canada maybe but definitely not Vancouver Washington.

Crazy how much Tigard has grown and changed over my 40 years in this area. There are some nice looking new homes you guys covered this week! Thanks for keeping us informed, as always, with another well put together video! :-) p.s. Great sweater pick Erika!

Porland is great, homeless are in all cities

Wow, I live across the river in Vancouver and guessed all 5 towns correctly

I had kids in school, and really saw the problems in the school system, brainwashing my kids. I left in 2007 and went to Missouri. ABSOLUTELY the best decision i have made in my life!

Moved from PDX to Vancouver WA in 1985. Instant dumpy house rent reduction from $335 to $175. Moved $16/hr job from PDX to Vanc in 1990. Instant roughly $1/hr raise because no state income tax. Unfortunately today though. . not such a difference.

Yes...the down town commons smells of feces..across from the court house???

Lived in Oregon as a child. I thought it was a beautiful place and liked it there. We moved away and I'll probably never move back because of cost of living ($$$$$) and terrible politics.

Queen City...personality of retired women residents???

But their court system is awful.

Members of my family have recently suffered major property losses in South Carolina recently. Remarkable because they're almost 200 miles inland, yet the hurricanes still did a number on their homes. People complain about Portland's weather, but it really is mild compared to much of the country.

Not in the rich areas. If you live in Lake Oswego, The west hills, Bethany, rock creek, and west Lynn you won’t see homeless.

Huh, where's all the homeless? Looks like a great destination for hundreds of tents & illegals. LOL!

How far along will the development be in 2-3 years?

LO is too expensive. Period. Tualatin and Sherwood should be above Beaverton and Hillsboro. Just sayin! Wilsonville has a HORRIBLE commute into downtown Portland.

Hey, I’ve been following your TH-cam channel and believe we could make a significant impact on your growth with the right SEO strategies. Would you be interested in a quick chat or free audit?

8:57 Definitely NOT Lake Oswego.

Portland isn’t cool or weird. It’s creepy and obnoxious. It’s literally a third world nation thanks to the natives. It isn’t edgy it’s trashy. The culture is toxic and inept narcissism. I’ve been here twenty years.

1st rule to understand. You 100% want to avoid Multnomah county like the plague. All other counties are fine. Multnomah has the highest fees and costs of any county.....also the worst crime rate, JUNKIES...aka "campers. Do some actual research...you'll chose ANYWHERE else.

What a great video, I really love this city and its about time people stop complaining and start talking about the amazing things Portland has and is. Nice job! another pretty cool thing about Portland is we have some incredible neighborhoods, all with very distinct personalities- all within about a two-three mile radius of downtown. From Kings Heights to Sellwood anyone can find their place they feel comfortable and at home.

Grandma paid $3,000. In 1930

0:02 I would not think of buying land in Portland, Oregon. It is dead there. Portland is over.

I want to understand why they pronounce the word aloha alluwwa ??????

You get 4 season than san diego you get more rain we do but your beautiful green we are

Thank you for your honesty! No sugarcoat! Much appreciated!

There’s a certain political demographic that greatly exaggerates the situation, here, and I agree it’s looking a lot better than during the height of the pandemic crisis. The opioid epidemic combined with all the lower paying restaurant and service jobs lost due to lockdown, yeah…that’s a recipe for a houseless crisis. West coast weather brings them, too. Commercial propert/offices are cheap now because so many people moved to remote work. I came here in ‘95, so I’ve seen it get a lot more spread out & crowded. Traffic can be baaaad, depending on the time & direction of your commute. Bottom line? If I move out it will be because of the 8 months of grey skies, not crime. Seriously , the grey gets crazy making for some of us, by about the fifth month. 🤪 I think Portlanders were spoiled by so many years of hardly any typical urban challenges. We don’t really have any problems that any larger city doesn’t have. And more populated places like Chicago, NY, LA, have more. I still think Portland has way more positives than negatives, for sure!

Sadly, too many impatient road warriors from California and Washington started road raging in Oregon over a decade ago and has progressively gotten worse with more transplants from those two states moving in. Both Washington and California drivers will tail gate and run you off the road for going the speed limit. Some Oregonians on the other hand, are too polite to a fault, where they are breaking driving laws and could easily get others in accidents.

every city has homeless now....

Where is the street of Dreams Address location

Can people still go see these homes

1. Rain 2. Lack of diversity/culture 3. Homelessness 4. Drugs 5. Passive Aggressiveness

Just a heads up that you have a typo in your thumbnail. It says "Porland" instead of Portland 😅

I love Portland. I hope the homeless problem gets attention and action towards improvement
