CRIME CITY, USA.

6/1/2010
AFTER OVER 10 YEARS OF LIVING HERE I AM FED UP. THE WEATHER IS FINALLY STARTING TO GET OLD, THE CRIME IS OUTRAGEOUS. ABOVE AVERAGE CRIME IN EVERY CATEGORY EXCEPT FOR MURDER. ITS A VERY LAID BACK PLACE. HOMELESS ARE EVERYWHERE EVEN OUTSIDE OF DOWNTOWN. MOST PEOPLE ARE COOL, BUT THERE ARE DEFINITELY REALLY STUPID PEOPLE HERE(MY MOM CALLED THEM LOW LIFES WHEN WE LIVED IN RENO, I CALL THEM WHITE TRASH.) LOTS OF DRUGS, TRASH IN SE PORTLAND WHERE WE ARE. THE WEATHER IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE EX. BEAUTIFUL AFTERNOON SATURDAY IN JUNE, THEN NEXT DAY LOOKS LIKE A WINTER DAY. VERY LARGE PERCENTAGE OF NEEDY PEOPLE IMO, ATLEAST IN PORTLAND. HOWEVER, AFTER SAYING ALL THIS I DO UNDERSTAND THIS EXISTS IN OTHER CITIES. I WOULD ALSO SAY THE COST OF LIVING IS RIDICULOUS. WATER AND SEWER ARE THRU THE ROOF AND THE CITY JUST INFORMED RESIDENTS ABOUT A 12% INCREASE. THE CITY OF PORTLAND HAS DEFINITELY GONE WAY WAY DOWN HILL SINCE I MOVED HERE 10 YEARS AGO. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND MOVING HERE. THERE ARE SOME GOOD THINGS ABOUT PORTLAND, BIKING, COAST(NOT A REAL FAN OF THE OREGON COAST), MOUNTAINS, ETC, DIVERSITY AND CULTURE. I WILL PLAN TO MOVE WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. OH AND BY THE WAY, THE SNOW WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS UTAH ESPECIALLY FOR SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING.
