Yo Briggs! I was in portland for a couple days and just left last night! I'll say it was bad in the sense of the homelessness, but im from Alaska so im used to dealing with it. Oregon was really nice otherwise! I was also in California earlier in the week and my wife and I stayed out of downtown l.a it was really bad.

[@bliss3596]

Not as bad as it was 2 years ago. I also know the started the camping ban todays. I'm sure Briggs will make a video on that soon.

[@adrianasoldevila630]

No camping anymore 🎉

[@loditx7706]

Another reason to move is weather. I was born in Texas and lived most of my adult life there. Every summer got hotter and hotter. The only time I ventured away from AC was to walk the dog. It got to where depression would start in March when the AC had to turn on and last pretty much all year, although one could turn off the AC in early November. It had to come back on some days sporadically throughout the year. I escaped just because of the weather which worsened due to climate change. I escaped to a cooler, cleaner, greener place and still get excited and awestruck when it rains. It rains often where I am now. Even though the state made your list for some bad things that have not affected me. P.S. The homeless continue to migrate in and the problems caused by them are unpleasant and continue to escalate. Austin is really bad.

My dad spent the first 23 years of his life in toledo, and he told me he knew guys that worked at the Jeep factory and whenever they wanted a break, they would throw a tool into a machine have it break down and wait for the line to get repaired and would get back to work.

[@buffalobill9958]

I'm kind of surprised the US is on here when everything you said you can say the same for other countries that weren't on the list. The UK for example, just had an election and half the country didn't want to partake because they hated both candidates. A lot of arguing about the parties going on as well. The NHS is in a terrible place. Mainly because of budgeting, they're losing money quick. Has a lot to do with a lot of people at the top making a lot of money to do a lot of nothing. The NHS literally is in the middle of a strike right now because of pay. Though to be fair the nurses do make peanuts. Then inflation is out of control, gas and groceries just keep going up. Then housing is insane. The typical mortgage length used to be 25 years. They recently started doing 35 year mortgages to make it a bit more attainable. The average mortgage length is now 32 years. That's a ton of people taking out 35 year mortgages to raise that average and it's still nearly impossible to buy a home. Just saying, a lot of US problems are problems in other countries as well

Would you please stop with the cracks about us marrying our cousins in Arkansas? We don't. For future reference, marrying your first cousin is illegal in Arkansas. It's legal in Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Vermont. Not in Arkansas. And no, that's not a recent development.

I also live in one of Portland's outlying areas, and you are right on about Portland. It's still better than California; I spent 32 years in central California near Sacramento, and as soon as we could we left and ended up in Beaverton. Now we live in a different part of Portland's metropolitan area and like it much better.

[@pdxmtngoat]

Another good video Mr. Briggs. Portland, Bend, and most of the Willamette Valley in Oregon has seen better days. But yes Oregon is still a decent state. Nice to visit. Love the lack of sales tax whenever we visit. Also what and where20% of Portland would you bulldoze?

That louisville KY bridge building scene is waaay old. It has been completed for several years. They had a Walk-Across-The-Bridge day after completion, I participated and received a souvenir medallion. It's called the Abraham Lincoln bridge. In the foreground, is the BIG FOUR walking bridge, a repurposed Railroad bridge, next is the aforementioned Abraham Lincoln bridge, in the background alongside the Abraham Lincoln bridge, is the partially obscured John F Kennedy bridge, built in the early 60s. Not a Kentuckian, but a thirty miles north of the Ohio River Hoosier.

Being from Calif. with relatives in Oregon we visit there often traveling by motorhome...Seems to me and im not sure exactly why other than Portland i think Oregon gets a really undeserving bad rap....We love that place compared to whats going on in our state...We never ever seem to have any kind of bad experience in Oregon even in Portland where we have a daughter...And i see Portland as i do almost any Metro area...Way to much traffic, to crowded, homelessness, and just a place thats not my kind of gig...I would 100X more live in Portland than i would say Oakland CA....(we Live about 45min from there) in the far east bay at the beginning of the Delta...Oregon coast stands up to any coastal area in this country....Areas like Bend and the States state parks are awesome...All of southern Oregon is great also...Its just different there than the rest of the state....

I live in Oregon about a hour from Portland and I think the state is pretty cool, actually it’s one of the prettiest states in the US. I don’t know when this video was filmed but it’s July 2024 and the homeless are gone out of the city, that itself is big progress 🎉

You are spot on regarding Houston, Memphis and Little Rock. We live in S TX. To drive to visit my family in SW KY, we must go through Houston, Little Rock and drive fairly close to Memphis.

Well rounded thoughtful analysis as usual. Baltimore needs to make the going down list. Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over, expecting a different result.

I am looking at leaving Texas as the local governments are just always up in your business. I am looking to move to Oklahoma where as long as you are not in some incorporated cities limits you are mostly free to do as you like within reason of course. In Texas if you want to put up a hunting cabin you have to jump through a lot of hoops if you are allowed to build it at all. In Oklahoma they could not give a crap about some thrown together hunting cabin out in the woods. Also property is just so much cheaper up there. I have a 900+ square foot house in large metro area in a working class neighborhood aka really small in a mostly OK neighborhood. In Oklahoma I can buy a 2,000 SF house on a few acres outside of some cities limits and have a little money left over to do some minor upgrades with what I could sell my Texas house for. Another nice thing about Oklahoma is as long as you are not in the panhandle you are only about two hours away from Oklahoma City. If you are in south Oklahoma you could get to DFW in around three maybe four hours. The only thing that sucks about Oklahoma is that they have a 5% income tax that they don't give any consideration for long term capital gains.

Weird about Kentucky. During the Oxy crisis one county in South Florida was dispensary #1. Pain Cliniics everywhere. A movie named Oxcontin Express was about this county. I drove thru a few parking lots, guards outside with serious assault weapons. EVERY LICENCE PLATE WAS FROM KENTUCKY! Now the laws are too tight. Put the tylenol back in and max pill should be 10mgs. Max pain use 2 because that would contain the extra strength insoluble version of acetaminophen (tylenol). There was not a big problem until 40 and 80mg no tylenol versions were introduced by the Sackler family. Injecting 80mgs IV will probably kill anyone without a serious opiod tolerance. It's common sense and good if used in hospitals by a pain specialist as are certain fentanyl isomers. Otherwise hell no.😮
