I love watching your submissions! Eugene does have an airport with great parking.

[@xkernalsandersx]

I don't believe it does any travel other than to major airports in the area, it's a regional airport so you can't just hop out of Eugene to Mexico as she was saying

[@ADR-j9m]

@@xkernalsandersx I don't leave the country very often. I live in Newport and for the trips I take, Eugene airport is more user friendly than PDX

[@xkernalsandersx]

@@ADR-j9m don't get me wrong, I love regional airports and try to fly into those over major international airports when I can

[@SalemOR]

You're right that Eugene has an airport and that it's regional and not an international airport. I'll be more clear in my message next time to ensure people know the Eugene Airport (regional) doesn't fly internationally (at least not at this time). And that if people want to fly to internationally they will be 2 hours away from the nearest international airport which is in Portland (PDX). Thanks for the feedback!

If you're considering moving to Oregon from California, just don't. Keep driving north

[@SalemOR]

I am cancelling out your comment with my own. I officially invite Californians to Oregon. Many of us will be happy you're here!

[@sc503-vetnut]

No, just keep driving west.

[@SalemOR]

into the ocean...?

[@sc503-vetnut]

@@SalemOR I'd never be that mean. If they got a decent underseal on thier car they could go to Hawaii or maybe China.

[@hungrydingo7037]

Why? We’re pretty conservative voted red. Why should we not stay in Oregon?

[@runDATrun6]

I’ve grown up and lived in Oregon my entire life. This was the first time I’ve ever heard of being afraid of trees hahaha

[@SalemOR]

I mean those trees are pretty...pretty dangerous. jk.

A judge ruled that there must be public access to the lake, and therefore it is no longer considered a private lake. This place is so sleepy and slow-paced that the local police have nothing better to do than set up speed traps for anyone who dares to vroom above 25 mph. Oddly, Lake Oswego is where many affluent divorcees tend to reside. There are places in Oregon, just 20 minutes from a Trader Joe's, Costco, 24/7 Winco, Freddies, Market of Choice, Inn & Out (soon) and 25 minutes from PDX Airport, with no immediate adjacent neighbors, no HOAs, unincorporated (so no city taxes), and a forest for a backyard. My gosh, avoid such places at all costs!

[@SalemOR]

I saw that! That has been such a battle, it's kinda crazy they actually came to a decision. I'll have to adjust my verbiage now in any future videos about Lake Oswego. Thanks for adding this as a comment for others to see. Much appreciated.

[@yellowstonefoster5543]

Fun video, thanks!

[@SalemOR]

You bet! Are you an Oregonian or thinking of relocating here?

[@Jujubeaeri]

I love visiting Silverton. It has a really cute yarn store there. I love everything about Oregon except Portland. I live in Gresham because of work, it’s not so bad. Cute video. :)

[@SalemOR]

Silverton is a cutie! Have you been up to Silver Falls State Park?

[@lamarjohnson9226]

I’m relocating to Oregon in a year hopefully thxs this video helped me out Also are there any skating rinks in Oregon?

[@SalemOR]

The only one I am aware of is in Portland at the Lloyd Center Mall. I wish we had more roller/skating rinks.

[@scottduke2809]

Hilarious 😂 some good stuff right here!

[@LETSGOBRANDONFJB]

Your not wrong about WOKE POS Eugene you forgot about the POS homeless criminal problem

[@MarcosCisneros-e4c]

Salem is the perfect size city. We just need to avoid building so many apartments, that’s causing way to much traffic and we don’t want our city to become like Portland or LA. As you mention we like getting to places quick. It’s the capital and people got places to be.

[@SalemOR]

Thanks for watching and sharing your perspective. Whats your favorite thing about living in Salem, OR?

[@kythrathesuntamer9715]

For me out in Cornelius the constant frustration is that I've got reasons to try to make more friends in person and the best way to connect is often over Similar hobbies, I have a lot of ability to connect to those with alt taste in music due to being so into synth and industrial but like even the Coffin Club is like straight in Downtown proper, The Hackerspace I really want to visit is all the way out by the Airport, and I'm frustrated by how much doing any thing Hip that I'd be interested in doing would require me to go well out of my way to attend. I need new friends, I moved out of Florida and back home but I'm, isolated and away from everyone in person and my whole peer group is now internet friends.

[@SalemOR]

Thanks for sharing your perspective. What do you think is one of the biggest differences between Florida and Oregon?

[@KOrnhOliO1]

First off, the pollen in Eugene is because Eugene is located at the bottom of the Willamette Valley. A Valley all surrounded and closed in by mountains. So, when the main crop in the valley is GRASS, you get a massive pollen bloom of RAG WEED and other grasses! It's not the trees that cause all of the pollen, and make Eugene and other places in the Willamette Valley the pollen capital of the WORLD! IT'S THE FARMERS AND THEIR GRASSES! FACT. NOT THE TREES, THE GRASS! 💯👍🤣

[@SalemOR]

Thanks for sharing. I'll keep this in mind for my next video about the area. What else should others know that I left out?

[@falsificationism]

Holy MOLY Lake Oswego....

[@ronaldmason7053]

Salem is a very boring State Capitol

[@SalemOR]

I've made a whole video about how boring and lame Salem is. I think you'd like it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJu8lKKBaaiGb6Msi=80pp5XboqDX8Q3D0

[@myworldfriends123]

🙂

[@rickalexander2801]

You spelled Wilsonville wrong.

[@SalemOR]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@naturalafricanism9219]

Rosenberg Or.

[@SalemOR]

Why should people avoid Roseberg?

[@TheyRiseBand]

Thinking of moving to Oregon? Avoid the cities, especially Portland. You're welcome (relocated here 5 years ago).

[@SalemOR]

Thanks for sharing. Where did you relocate from and why Oregon?

[@TheyRiseBand]

@@SalemOR I should've said the PNW. I'm in rural WA, now, but originally relocated to Portland from Denver. I wanted some place that had lots of water... It's going to be critical, going forward.

[@SalemOR]

What was the biggest difference you experienced between Denver and Portland? Any major culture shocks?

[@TheyRiseBand]

@@SalemOR The trees. CO has trees in the foothills, but nothing like OR. Moss grows everywhere and on everything. How small the blocks are and how compact everything is in Portland. The lack of sun still gets me -- CO has 300 days of sun per year (sort of). Crime and homelessness are much larger problems, here than in CO. People are generally friendlier in PNW (despite crime and homelessness). I was shocked by this, at first -- CO is more standoffish.

[@SalemOR]

Great info! It's hard to imagine seeing the sun for 300 days of the year. What do you must most about CO?

[@thornie123]

How about just avoid Washington and Oregon all together. The entire Pacific Northwest.

[@SalemOR]

What are your least favorite things about living in the PNW?
