Driving Downtown - Portland 4K - Oregon USA

Driving Downtown - Portland Oregon USA - Season 1 Episode 16.
Starting Point: Broadway goo.gl/maps/LwJ15JZwt2B2 .
Portland is the largest city in the U.S. state of Oregon and the county seat of Multnomah County. It is located in the Willamette Valley region of the Pacific Northwest, at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers. The city covers 145 square miles (376 km²) and had an estimated population of 619,360 in 2014,[7][9] making it the 28th most populous city in the United States. Approximately 2,348,247 people live in the Portland metropolitan statistical area (MSA), the 24th most populous MSA in the United States. Its Combined Statistical Area (CSA) ranks 17th with a population of 3,022,178.
Named after the city in Maine, Portland was settled in the 1840s near the end of the Oregon Trail. Its water access provided convenient transportation of goods, and the timber industry was a major force in the city's early economy. At the turn of the 20th century, the city had developed a reputation as one of the most dangerous port cities in the world, a hub for organized crime and racketeering. After the city's economy experienced an industrial boom during World War II, its hard-edged reputation began to dissipate. Beginning in the 1960s,[10] Portland became noted for its growing liberal political values, and the city has earned a reputation as a bastion of counterculture which has proceeded into the 21st century.[11] According to a 2009 Pew Research Center study, Portland ranks as the 8th most popular American city, based on where people want to live.[12]
The city operates with a commission-based government guided by a mayor and four commissioners as well as Metro, the only directly elected metropolitan planning organization in the United States.[13] The city government is notable for its land-use planning and investment in public transportation.[14] Portland is frequently recognized as one of the most environmentally conscious cities in the world because of its high walkability, large community of bicyclists, farm-to-table dining, expansive network of public transportation options, and 10,000+ acres of public parks.[15] Its climate is marked by warm, dry summers and chilly, rainy winters. This climate is ideal for growing roses, and Portland has been called the "City of Roses" for over a century.[16][17] "Keep Portland Weird" is an unofficial slogan for the city.[18]

You're kidding right? Portland is insanely overrated.

[@tarynrosehugo1711]

As someone who lives in downtown Portland, I can say it does, in fact, still look like this. There are a few parts of the city that have boarded up windows, but not as many as the news is portraying. The media wants you to believe that Portland is being burnt to the ground, and that is simply not true. Yes, there are tent communities throughout certain parts of the city, but not as many as people say. Portland still lives!

Now 6 years later almost destroyed, filled with grafiti, garbage, business closed and damaged, homeless drug addicts, tents and mostly desolated. As a mexican inmigrant who fell in Love with Oregon I beg the people and government please save the city, save the state and bring back it's beauty, it's safety, it's Glory.

[@TheJpep2424]

Thanks democrats!

[@taihalpern7342]

Portland is very nice, only 700,000 people yet has a downtown 2 or 3 times bigger than cities like San Diego, San Jose, Phoenix, Houston, San Antonio, etc because it has really good urban planning. Portland doesn’t have a lot of urban sprawl so the traffic isn’t bad, and it’s the most walkable and bike-able city in America. Property prices are rising but are still half that of similar cities like Seattle, LA, and San Francisco. Portland has a top 5 restaurant scene in America and is very outdoor-friendly with many places to hike and lots of huge parks. Crime is average, homelessness is a little above average but everything else is really good. Lastly Portland’s weather is soooo much better than Seattle’s, it rains less than half as much and it’s warmer with longer summers and shorter winters.

[@TheJpep2424]

high crime, drug use, homelessness, unemployment. Typical democrat city.

[@rhaebeam]

it is nicer then I thought and even on a cloudy day! yes historically beautiful! great video thank you I enjoyed the ride.

[@E180TEKNO]

Portland's a really pretty town, I think. It's rated rainy in the fall, so it's really beautiful. It's green, I find it weird, yet it's a Portland city, but I find that the green and the color that defines it. It is the association of the colors of the Forest of the state of Oregon.

Are cyclists required to stop at traffic signals in the United States or they just can make their own way thru the gaps

[@harryhenderson792]

the cyclists in Portland can do whatever they want because they are more special and better than everyone else.

[@kalebsobacki7908]

on a legal standpoint if they are on the road they have to follow all the laws of an automobile would and on the sidewalk they would need to follow all the laws of a pedestrian
