Not a friendly place. Not a safe place.
- 7/24/2021
My family lived there for 20 years. There was SOMETIMES a policeman in town,, ONE on the whole force, but they couldn't keep anyone for long so usually there isn't one for 20 miles. Numerous methamphetamine production houses. City council are mostly interrelated. Even after 20 years your considered an outsider and will be treated as one on every level. Especially city planning, town hall meetings etc. Vandalism of 'Outsiders' property isn't investigated because either there are no police or the police are discouraged from prosecuting

If You Want To Be A Target of Assault...
- 7/4/2018
I've heard so much about Powers, most of it ungood, that makes it so I never want to step foot in that town again. Beyond the usual gossip you can hear in Myrtle Point, Coquille and Coos Bay about incest, sexual abuse, poverty and severe drug and alcohol addiction there is also a general mentality: if you're not a local expect to get hurt by the locals. There are many cases where people visited Powers to take in the sights, have fun at the townwide garage sale or White Cedar days or take part in the Tour de Fronds, and were attacked by the local men who "Don't like outsiders". Just last weekend a guy was visiting Powers for White Cedar Days and was confronted by some local jerk calling him horrible names and wanting to take him outside because "he's National Guard and not Army". So expect violence, expect to be treated with disrespect and expect confrontation because these people make it clear they don't like outsiders.

Portland Weather
- 4/19/2012
If you love city life and the outdoors Portland must be one of the greatest cities in the U.S. However , the downside to me is the 8 or 9mo a year of grey, rainy weather. Its the price you pay for such beautiful surroundings, but after living here for about 4yrs I really miss the sun and would trade all the upsides of portland for a sunny city, like perhaps the southern oregon area from grants pass over to
