As a 56 year native and resident (suburbs now), Portland is much maligned and denigrated.
We just voted out a very unpopular city commissioner a few weeks ago for a seemingly normal human.
Homelessness is terrible. This is the #1 problem. And it’s bad.
People know this and are working towards solutions. My oldest kid lives in Portland proper. I own property in Portland. I work in Portland. It’s a great city with some bumps.
I will say that Portland has attracted people whom I am not eye to eye with politically- and their ideas have seemingly backfired.
Give it a couple years, Portland is a lovely city.
