Wishing you the very best in life and in your business. As a resident of Oregon City, I have a vested interest in the livability, natural beauty, and economic success of Portland! 😊👊
Thank you! Love Oregon City, such history! Great '52 Bowman collection you have going, best of luck with the rest of the collection!
My daughter lives in Portland. Has for years. It's not getting better. Tents and used drug needles are moving to nicer areas. My daughter is very middle class, nice neighborhood. If you like people trying to break in, scratches on your car. Taking your dog to the vet because he stepped on a needle, then yes. Portland is for you.
OP, you're blowing air through your backside.
It's definitely getting better. Huge improvement from last summer.
@@movingtoportlandoregon Well we may not agree, but good on you for your optimism. I do think you may be doing folks a disservice. Vancouver WA is a much safer place.
One of Portland's advantages over other large metros in the country is that it's a border town. Vancouver, WA offers many other tax options, schools, and neighborhoods with the proximity of what Portland has to offer. I've lived all over this metro area (including The 'Couve) and there's a great variety of areas.
Very true!
Ahhh yet another Vancouver parasite😊
Just wanted to say I really enjoyed your video and I enjoy your polite responses to everyone in the comments. There are some doozies in there you're handling it well lol! Always love visiting portland, one of my favorite cities!
Thank you so much! It's amazing what people will say behind a keyboard. I channel my own positive energy and realize that person has something going on to be so negative, really not on me.
If you like being near PSU and the Waterfront, as we have, you might take a look at our condo for sale. The safest block downtown. Great views. We are moving back to Europe. 111 SW Harrison St Apt 18B Portland OR 97201
I live in Salem and will retire in a few years. Portland is too expensive for the value. The pandemic comounded a loy of problems that already existed. Portland has rhe challenge that other cities revored more in recent years and also offer quality of life. I have to drive in Portland and the street made closures from the pandemic make going to some neighborhoods like Sellwood very difficult. This makes parts of Portland inaccessible and sends a message that some people are less worthwhile, who needs rhis.
Hi David, I'm not sure exactly what your complaint about Portland is. If you don't enjoy the city I totally understand wanting to be further out and living in a smaller city. Thanks for watching!

My complaint is in Portland it is becoming more and more difficult from one place to another. I lived in Chicago for 9 years and Fort Luaderdale for 4. Two different sized towns. Your thought that anyone who doesn't like Portland automatically doesn't like big cities is the attitude I also find annoying.
Hey David, one of the reasons I like Portland is because it is NOT a big city but rather a medium size city. Much easier from my perspective to get around vs a larger city in America. I realize it's all perspective and my comment isn't judging you if you read it. Have a great day!
A relator with a company that makes money in selling houses or property in Portland is not really an objective view..And they blame the problem is Portland was hit hard w COVID..what city wasn’t hit hard..
Most cities WERE hit hard by covid and Portland was no exception. . I actually have good insight into what's going on with the housing market and the dynamics of the city that effect the homes because I'm reading up on it and working in it every single day.
Honestly, you couldn't pay me enough to live there.
Great! I hope you enjoy the city you live in. I love it here.
I’m done, honestly. We have at least 5 yrs until we can potentially move. I had 2 drug users in our rental. The city is doing nothing but coddling. The laws are extremely landlord unfriendly. I’ve been on the spring water trail regularly seeing drug deals, prostitution, large amounts of trash, twice my buddy and I stopped our bikes to put out tent fires. Constantly I get to witness drivers tailgating, speeding, without license plates. We no longer have highway patrol. Absolutely flippin stupid. I can’t walk to school with kids because sidewalks full of tents and their shit. It was a great place 15 yrs ago, with its share of seedy, but it’s now totally disgusting and sad.
I personally think Portland has already hit rock bottom.
Nah it could and its going to get worse. Leadership same old same old!
I visited last fall and didn't really see what the big deal was coming from Los Angeles. I guess it's relative.
I always liked the Pearl District/Downtown (especially Lardo but it moved?) but looking at the crime stats on niche feels like a disconnect.
It's hard to tell if the crimes are being committed against the vulnerable unhoused or not. Also a lot of the places I saved from my first trips before the pandemic are closed.
Portland seems like a no brainer since I'll have 600k cash but I still have suspicions/reservations.
Like you get what you pay for. Look at people who moved to TX and FL dealing with insurance.
Any interest in affordable housing and I'm not talking section 8? And what's going to be done with drug issues? Building more housing that is out of reach for basic folk like me, a teacher with 2 degrees.
affordable housing is a big issue on the west coast. Portland does have an incentive program to builders to build more affordable housing. They offer a lower price if you make under the 124k a year.
@@movingtoportlandoregon Yes I'm aware. I'm from the Bay Area and many of my family members live there. Are builders actually taking advantage of the incentive? I was there this past summer in July and Portland is in shambles and it breaks my heart. But the cost of living is is crazy. Too many political officials didn't do enough to stop this catastrophic housing crisis. I've been watching this happen for the last 20 years. Then to layer on the decriminalization of hard drugs was simply ignorant wishful thinking. Now I live is Phoenix and it's happening here. Frustrating because this can be prevented but people are simply too greedy and too many of our leaders don't do enough to strike a balance.
No one I know will sit on hold for two hours to make a report on crime so I don’t know how they figure their crime stats.
The homicides just keep happening, Portland is the West Coast leader in that category. So violent.
Homicides are down 23% this year compared to last year. I would check your stats. Portland is not the leader in violent crime.
You have a real estate company in Portland, Oregon and you’re just there to do a unbiased report of where the city is going. Can you sound like a Democrat?
Can't we all get along? 🤔 - Thanks for watching a video on my youtube channel about Portland, this is my personal opinion through my experience living here. Hope you are having a great day!
We have a real-estate company and are posting this completely unbiased video that is in no way self-serving! 😂 (If you believe that they have a bridge to sell you)
Hey Freddie, do you think I am personally going to convince someone to move to Portland? No. Of coarse not. I know about the city because I work in real estate so I'm literally driving around and helping people buy and sell real estate all around the city. That gives me intimate knowledge about the city from personal experience. That is what I'm sharing with people that are not as familiar as I am. I don't sell anything. I'm a professional that helps people buy and sell. Hope that helps!
Keep Portland Weird that's the Moto. Place is beautiful but very strange 😢
Very beautiful indeed! Love it here.
Not interested in left wing extremist city. Sooner or later portland is going down the drain. Businesses have already shut down and moved to other states.
Let's agree to disagree on this one
@@movingtoportlandoregon I guess there are enough lefties leaving CA to keep you busy.
I’m curious why they mainly stuck to walking alongside the river and the adjacent park? Why didn’t they go downtown and into the Central Business District?
Hey there holiday! Simple answer to that. I have other recent videos where I walk in the central business district (check them out) and this was a special moment for this area with the cherry blossoms. I wanted to highlight how beautiful some area are even though they are in a higher crime area.
Old town is the center of homicide activity. That’s downtown.
My kids live in Vancouver, Washington across the river from Portland and there are way, way too many gray days up there.
Nice, what part of the country do you live in?
@@movingtoportlandoregon Southern California
People blame the mayor Ted Wheeler for all the problems affecting the city,but they don't put themselves in his shoes. being a City Mayor is no easy job. there's a lot of obstacle like crime,homelessness, drugs,you name it, a mayor has to face when he or she takes office. Ted Wheeler is indeed leading the city in the right direction, and as a new Portland resident, I get behind him (support him),and I don't criticize his administration.
