Don’t move here. Entitled kids shoplift. Parents don’t parent. Don’t stop at stop signs. Personally bred Frankendoodles with no concern for animals in shelters. It’s all about image and nothing else. And very white. Expensive $$$$$!
As someone looking to move to the Portland area, I've been watching a lot of RU-vid realtors for close to a year now. This may come off as harsh, but it's truly helpful criticism: you 2 need a different schtick and all of your videos have the same tired script. Like literally how many times can you say the same thing about Lake Oswego? I could write your videos for you by this point.
Maybe we need to spice things up and add some drama to our next video - Lake Oswego: The Soap Opera Edition! 😉 Seriously though, I appreciate the feedback. You know, everyone is at a different stage of their research, this could be the first video someone is watching that talks about Lake Oswego. If you've been watching for a year YES some areas will seem repetitive. Have you been out to visit Portland yet? My suggestion would be to make a trip this summer.
Hi Johnny thanks for watching! It absolutely is subjective, my channel is my personal experience and observations. That's why I shoot my videos walking the neighborhoods so you can see as much for yourself as possible with out being here. I'm just sharing my insight. Do I like Portland and living here? Yes! Would I make videos about Portland if I didn't like living here? probably not.
Portland Maine is wicked, beautiful, and way better! The Atlantic Ocean is much more personable as well. Mt. Olympus actually orders take-out from Portland Maine. Our homeless people stand on the streets and hand out dollar bills and free cans of malt liquor. It's paradise!
My job has an opening @ 9675 SW Tualatin-Sherwood Rd b, Tualatin, OR 97062 So, I'm going to talk to my boss about it. I've wanted to move to the great north west for sometime now. ever since I've seen it in movies, it just looks beautiful, also I'm big into the paranormal, and BIGFOOT, and i hear stories about bigfoot in Washing, and Oregon, that is another reason that attracted me. I make roughly 60K a year. I live in CT right now. I'm just trying to get some date about the crime, and cost of living and other stuff.
How many "Homeless Encampments"? Are the bike lanes & paths surrounded by blue tarps? Can I park my vehicle and not worry about the window being broken like in Portland? NAH! I would never live that close to Portland....I'll pass!
Sorry to hear that. Hope they find a place they feel safe. What part of Portland were they living in? It really does matter what part of town you live in, just like most cities in America.
Lived in Vancouver, WA 24 years. Portland has been going downhill since 2005, long before COVID. Woke, anti-police, progressive policies. The days of “Portlandia” weird and whacky PDX is gone. Now drugged out, dirty and expensive. I worked in Portland until 2013. Now that I am retired I won’t ever visit that city again. My home town is San Francisco, much more beautiful than Portland, but that didn’t stop the leftist progressives from destroying that city. Portland has no chance until politics change.
Portland. I've heard so much about it. The BurningLootingMaiming going on for weeks was spectacular. It's just the kind of environment I would want for my family ... not. Nice scenery. Not much leadership. Bad voters.
The number 1 con is homelessness. They are seemingly everywhere. Along with it comes crime. Friends’ daughter moved to Bend because they felt Portland was unsafe.
In certain parts of Portland yes that is a big con. Not sure where she lived or if that was last year but it has gotten much better in a lot of neighborhoods.
Let's see, Portland is half the size of the city of San Diego with double the homicides, double the burglaries and nearly triple the larcenies. Oh, and the voters are woke morons. Nuff said.
Obviously some lying scumbag realtor chasing those Cali $. I am a native Portlander who bailed 8 years ago. There are no 'pros' to moving to Portland. There haven't been since 2009.
God bless you guys for your channel. I’m 25 moving to Portland (God willing) in July. I visited there twice last year and fell in love. Although I’m looking for an apartment and I’m single; the videos you guys create have helped me so much. You guys articulate things beautifully. Thank you again❤️
It's always great to watch your videos. Very informative especially as regards Lake Oswego and the weather. I think you're right about needing a winter break to a warmer climate if you live in the Northwest. I've lived in California most of my life (but spent most of the 90s in Portland) and I would not describe myself as a "summer person," but I really came to love summer in Portland - it's really different in a four seasons sort of climate. You appreciate it more as opposed to a place like LA where it can be "summer year 'round" a lot of years.
Well, you didn't actually move to Portland if you live in Lake Oswego. Most people can't afford to live in LakeO. It's an upscale community, but you can talk about the weather.
Interesting to hear your experience. We have kids the same age and moved here a few years ago. I’ve studied urban planning and have lived in many cities (Seattle, Columbus, small town Ohio, Vancouver, Paris, New York) and Portland is my favorite. The layout, the scale, the culture, the thoughtful, detailed, quality of life touches… anyone writing off the area is really short-sighted. Huge fan. I NY I had to walk 20 minutes to even reach the subway stop. In Seattle my commute was 45 minutes each way. Here it’s a leisurely 20 minute e-bike ride to work downtown on the Springwater Corridor. Just one area of comparison. Be prepared for comments pointing out that LO is not really Portland, though.
Correction on the age of Oregon City, Oregon. Aaron stated at the start of the video that Oregon City is "Over one hundred years old". It is actually closer to two hundred years old as it was founded in 1829 and incorporated as a city in 1844. It was the first American city incorporated west of the Mississippi. At that time the Oregon territory incompassed what is presently Washington State, Oregon, Idaho, and parts of Montana and Wyoming. Oregon City was ther territorial city of the whole Oregon Territory at that time. It also is the end of the Oregon trail that saw thousands of covered wagon migrants that moved westward during the expansion period of the USA. So history runs deep in this city. .
Born and raised around the Portland area. Portland is not what it was just 7 years ago. Prices are now similar to Socal but with 9 monhs of rain. I moved to the coast of California and was able to get a place for about the same price I would pay in Portland. Best decision of my life.
Portland started its downward slide when Sam Adams became mayor. Next up was Charlie Hales, then came Ted Wheeler, Portland's version of the Three Stooges. Metro's current Chair is pathetic. Bad leadership equals a toxic dysfunctional city. "Catch & release" DA Schmidt was voted out in the recent election, a positive step forward. If anyone is thinking of moving here, pick someplace on the west side of the city, the east side is a mess for the most part.
Great video. There are no old growth Douglas Fir, Cider, or Pines trees in LO. Old growth trees are over one hundred years old. Most of the old growth trees were cut down for farming years ago. LO has 80 year old trees.
Hi Ernie, Thanks for the watch! There are over 20 confirmed 100 year old trees in LO, probably many more. This was confirmed back in 2010 at the bicentennial LO celebration. We even have a tree that is 300 years old! Three of the trees identified were growing here during the time of the first peoples, the Kalapuyans and Clowewallas. They are all Douglas-firs: the oldest on a trail at the end of Brookside Road (in Iron Mtn. Park), the Peg Tree in Old Town, and the Firwood Road Douglas-fir. Two of them were cored to provide more precise ages. The Iron Mountain tree is over 300 years old, and the Firwood Road Douglas-fir is 175 years. The famous Peg Tree has not been cored because its bark is too thick for a standard corer. Through historical data describing it as a meeting place and a Sunday school dating after the 1850’s, and analyzing its size on an 1936 aerial photo in comparison to today, the Peg Tree’s age has been determined to be at least 200 years.
