@@gregnadai6234 I had a buddy who lives on the big island say it was milk or eggs (I forget)-milk here went from about $1.50 to $4 so inflation is still hitting everyone… but nuts to me how expensive Hawaii is for the basics! Let me know if you need any recommendations. Cheers 🤙🏼 (503)-957-7981
Allergy season is pretty bad for trees and grass end of March to about early June. After that it dies off. I have pretty bad grass allergies so take meds but spring season is one of my least favorite because of allergies!
Man, I am not gonna lie. I am from Vancouver BC and many people here used to go to Portland twice a year to shop for luxury items and everyday essentials because we would save a ton of money doing so with the low sales taxes. But after covid, which led to high inflation and high interest rates and stronger USD, we don't save any money coming to shop in Portland. My last trip to Portland was shocking with the number of shops closing down and buildings destroyed in downtown Portland!!! But one day I really do hope to buy a property in Oregon on a beach front property overlooking Pacific Ocean.
@@hammertimee777 When was your last trip? 2021 was by far the worst. Most people who have gone down in the last year have said it’s gotten a lot better.
Phuleeeze … let’s be real here. HOMELESSNESS is a problem throughout the Country no matter where you live. If you don’t want to be around it, live in the middle of Montana, Wyoming, Kansas, Iowa, et. al. As to your point of bad Drivers, Tim, you haven’t seen anything until you drive in Florida. OMG picture it … Seniors with reduced reaction time and poor vision behind the wheel. Now mix in International Visitors that haven’t a clue about rules of the road and have very basic command of the English language (looking at you Miami 🤨) and then throw in Drivers who think the speed limit on I-95 is 95 mph and THAT’S why insurance costs are the most expensive in the Nation! No place is perfect. Perfect is what you make it to be for yourself. 😉
@@ToughLuckStudio Atlanta has a property crime rate of 75.4 while Portland is at 72.3. Portland is also lower than USA average on violent crime, Atlanta is 2.5x worse. Portland’s property crime isn’t usually armed and is petty criminals/addicts. Phoenix has a violent crime rate nearly double the national average. Phoenix average home price is at $418,000-not far off Portland at $528,000. At 5:16 you will get an appreciation for why Portland is a relative bargain. We are far greener, have more moderate temperature, and will still have drinking water in 2040. The amount of people flocking to the sunbelt right now is absurd given they already had extremely tight water constraints in most areas. If we are going to compare lets at least do it away from whatever the headline news is telling you to think! At the end of the day, where you live is somewhat subjective and totally up to you-i’m just here to set the record straight for people who are genuinely interested in our city, Cheers and thanks for watching
I dont think you addressed the Elephant in the room: Portland Politics From the perspective of those living outside Portland we wonder why you allow political agitators to riot in your civic spaces. Will it repeat itself if Trump wins?
@@tamedshrew235 This is part of Con number 2. And I can’t say for sure-I hope people can demonstrate their political views without damaging local businesses who don’t give a shit who president is!

Hi, we are coming to Portland next week to check it out next week. From Hawaii. Milk isn't quite that expensive but getting close.

be safe. portland has become a cesspool of drugs, property crime, and homelessness. Keep your head on a swivel and don't leave anything in your car.
Helpful video. Could you describe allergy season(s) in Portland and does it bother you? thanks
