I'd guess one reason behind all the property crime in coastal cities is the amount of vacation rental properties. It's probably not uncommon to get some rowdy renters who cause damage, and also it would be pretty easy for locals to know which houses are rentals and "safe" to break into when they're unoccupied.
Newport great to visit It’s horrible to live there full time if you want to thrive not just survive (unless you retired and wealthy ) High rental/ housing prices with minimum hourly wages typical Tons of hits snd runs. Most car repair shops are not accredited by insurance companies in this town Weather is mostly rain, wind, or combination of the two
Property crime here is high and 85 percent of that is meth related. That spike you see is due to Portland bussing all their problem homeless to the coast. I saw it with my own eyes. Three loaded busses with homeless landed in Astoria. The homeless population here tripled that day and the police can't do anything about it. It's sad. Portland offered homeless 300 bucks and a one way ticket to the coast.
OMG that is too funny and I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing!!!!! Point is, the title of this TH-cam is Click Bait and the line this dude spits out just before hitting that 7:27 time mark says it all "...anyone looking to buy or sell a home, we'd be happy to work with you...." LOL. Keep on movin' folks, there's no bad boogey-man towns on the Oregon coast.
For God’s sake, get to the point! How many minutes did you talk about what you were going to talk about. Just go ahead and say what you’re going to say!
Any town with a prison, like Lincoln City and Crescent City, usually has a lot of family moving there to be close to their incarcerated family member and some of that brings additional crime with it.
I've lived in Newport twice (4 years total) & Astoria for 3 years while I was in the U.S. Coast Guard. Now I'm retired and have been traveling the coast every year for the past 10 years. I've always felt safe there. The higher crime rates are driven by low employment/poverty level wages. I think the worst thing that happened to me was a stereo was stolen from my car in Newport. While in Lincoln City a few years ago I called the police and gave a vehicle description/plate number of a "Santa Clause" that was cruising the neighborhood I was walking my dog in. Saw him drive by 3 times, there are a LOT of vacation/rental homes in that area. We spent the winter of 20/21 in Lincoln City due to covid. There was a story going around of a drive by shooting but I could never confirm it. Over all I really like it there and we are thinking of moving back there in the next few years, probably south of Coos Bay.
Yeah, it's not what city you live in, but where you live. We've lived in Lincoln City for 15+ years and no issues. That said, there are neighborhoods we wouldn't choose to live in Lincoln City. But that is the same for almost every middle size to larger city. Bigger cities will start to have more issues, but they will also have more resources and things like better hospitals, etc. We love living here. Thanx for your fair view of the discussion.
High. Great not-too small town set along a beautiful rugged section of the Oregon coast at the mouth of the Chetco River with a great climate. Very unique.
we were in the newport area last summer for three weeks and our car was broken into two times and there was a road rage shooting on the bridge we will never go back there again......
I think you mis-spoke when you said that there were places where you used to go to lunch in Portland where you feel more comfortable than anywhere on the coast. I suspect you meant the opposite. BTW: How about Depoe Bay?

Perhaps there is some of that. You also hear about some areas having problems with meth which tends to result in theft.
3:44, Seth, thats a good story! I lived in the S.F.Bay area for 47 years and I am glad I relocated to Oregon!
Newport great to visit

stop feeding them they go away or die fixed
sad but true
Worst neighborhoods are the ones my exes move too!
A Home Depot employee in Warrenton told me that shop lifting there is rampant.
This was a very helpful video! Thank you. You guys are helping me narrow down where I want to live on the Oregon coast.
Happy to hear that - thanks for watching! Get in touch if you have any questions!
For the love of god 7:27 is where it really start.

At 7:00 I'm wondering WHEN you're going to get to the SUBJECT of the damned video?!
You're talking a LOT, but saying NOTHING!!!!!

These stats are ridiculous. These towns are nowhere as dangerous as those stupid websites say.
I'll trade coast living anytime with triple digit heat living in Las Vegas.
We hear that a lot.
How would you rate Brookings?
High. Great not-too small town set along a beautiful rugged section of the Oregon coast at the mouth of the Chetco River with a great climate. Very unique.
It took you until 7:32 to stop yammering and start giving actual info. please in the future cut the yammering. thanks
We’ll let the production director know!
I'm used to yammering. Fast forward ahead works great on most videos.
Too wordy.
we were in the newport area last summer for three weeks and our car was broken into two times and there was a road rage shooting on the bridge we will never go back there again......
Thanks for weighing in. Haven't heard that type of story often.
I think you mis-spoke when you said that there were places where you used to go to lunch in Portland where you feel more comfortable than anywhere on the coast. I suspect you meant the opposite. BTW: How about Depoe Bay?
Yes that's probably right. There's lots of places in Portland that you would feel more uncomfortable than the most unsafe place on the coast.
How is houseless people & homeless people different? It's like people of color or colored people. Same thing.
