Review of Portland, Oregon


Portland is only for the rich now.
Star Rating - 2/3/2020
Unless you have a lot of money to buy a house in a good neighborhood., don't move here. The city has gone down the tubes in the last 10 years or so, as have all the cities on the west coast. Homelessness is everywhere and crime is skyhigh. The local government is useless and police aren't allowed to do anything about the addicts camping out everywhere and trashing all open spaces. It is so sad to see what was a great place to live become what it is now and I don't know how it will be turned around.

I completely agree! I moved to the west from Houston looking forward to the beautiful forests, mountains and beaches. I am so shocked by the homelessness, crime, and how the west city governments are not doing anything worthwhile to address it. They continue with the same programs expecting different results and won't allow the enforcement of laws to protect the tax-paying, citizens. The criminals know they won't be held accountable and the homeless are taking over all the parks and public spaces which is a health and physical hazard for everybody!
