This isn’t explained well. This is a city and some people complain about not having enough to do. Also, some teenagers hang out in a Walmart parking lot here this is at best a 3 star city.

Small town?!? Don't look now, but a population report only a few days ago shows that the City of Vancouver has reached a population of 191,000. The County (Clark) now consists of at least 500,000 people. As for Vancouver being clean and safe, that's not true, either. There's trash everywhere, including all those nature sites, and crime has been on the rise for years. I, personally, have had two vehicles stolen - one right next to my house, and the other in an otherwise beautiful (except for all the trash) local park. I was also a victim of a separate theft at that same park. Both of my closest neighbors have been victims of theft, including not one but two cars belonging to one couple - at their house, no less. Finally, unless one is financially well off, Vancouver is NOT a great place to retire. Housing prices have skyrocketed during the past several years, and even very small homes in bad neighborhoods are selling for at least $300 grand.

The city is corrupt, department heads taking bribes, 2 yr community college almost destroyed because the faculty are making it into a 4 yr college. Mormon corruption they don't collect business licensing fees from companies in OR they're involved in that are doing business in WA, autodealers charge the wrong amount of sales tax on Costco auto program, most jobs are part time, homeless seem to be less visible but who knows where they are hiding them now. Really a bedroom community to Portland. Commutes to Portland easily 30 mins to an hour depending on when. Prices high, high sales tax, sanctuary city for Russians and Hispanics.
