Review of Salem, Oregon


The crime is a shame and homeless is over the top!
Star Rating - 2/22/2009
I live in Salem back in 85 to 87 also I was born there. The drugs were bad also the homeless was everywhere in the parks. I could just imagine how it is now. It is a pretty area but would never consider moving back.

The homeless crisis is horrible and with it comes high crime. Porch pirates, homeless breaking into cars, stealing cars, breaking into homes....you see the homeless everywhere. I moved here less than 2 years ago from Las Vegas and I'm in shock. Salem "feels" poor. Old, old housing, narrow streets, poor lighting...basements that flood from all the rain, moss and mildew....I'll be moving as soon as possible.
