@@sahilkumar_home9085 Take a deep breath and face YOUR reality. YOU SAID the Portland Homicide rate is16/100,000. Oregon has a homicide rate of 2.7/100,000, and the US homicide rate is 6.8/100,000. Therefore Portland is 6x the homicide rate for the State of Oregon. Simply driving into the County makes your exposure rate for homicide, rape, theft, and assault 6x more likely. It is bad, AND it is terrible.
