Review of Portla,


Over rated
Star Rating - 11/18/2018
I’ve lived here 5 years and like it less each day. The people are inconsiderate of others. The homeless issue is out of control and if you work downtown you get yelled at and harassed by homeless on a regular basis which is scary. Despite the high taxes, the schools have low graduation rate, roads are horrible, and the police force is understaffed resulting in high petty crime rate. Only good thing is the proximity to the mountains and ocean. Lots of outdoor activities and summer weather is great. Rest of the year the weather is depressing.

Yes, people don't have manners here. They don't say excuse me or hold doors. So many men jump in front of me in line. People are rude, rude, rude.

Agree with everything except inconsiderate people. Portlanders are for the most part very friendly, however decades of failed liberal city government and massive influx of radical progressives have left the once beautiful city in a very sad state.
