Review of Portland, Oregon


Crime lots of it
Star Rating - 7/24/2008
Anyone that has the gall to come on here and act like Portland only has low crime is being cruel to people. It may not be murder city USA but property crime and vehicle crime is very high here. You can love Portland all you want that is fine, there are many nice things about it, but crime is way to high here. Meaning for its size its crime feels more associated with a much bigger metro area. Yeah its immigrant crime and the low lifes that plague this area. Its a shame it should never have gotten to the point it is. Just take a drive thru the east side over to Rockwood and Gresham and Southeast Portland, and Northeast Portland. There isn't a whole lot left of the city now is it, maybe Northwest and that is no garden spot either any longer.
