The sound of snow is KILLING ME

[@kimberlybush2219]

I live in Portland and ride the bus and Max train all the time. The trains and busses smell so bad. Almost every time I ride public transit, it smells like poop because so many smelly people ride.

I left 10 years ago. I came to visit after the decriminalization and i cant even get my people on the phone. I dont even know if theyre alive. This is so sad. Sober addicts went back to being addicts real quick.

I've live here for 43 years and I do not see anything wrong until after 2020. The Rose City is long gone and have been destroy to the bottom of the hell. Any of you wanted to move in to Oregon, you maybe made a wrong choice. Think it over and make a right choice for your life and for the future of your children.

I’d say correct except for the fact that we are trying to fix our problems by replacing those who created them. We are also growing up late. Measure 110 was a terrible idea I did not vote for it. I think magical thinking has come to an end here in Pdx and along with that goes those creative mindset that help create it ( the golden era Pdx). Balancing act.

Portland for me = 3% of income tax for daycare (i dont have kids), 1% tax for homeless + 9% income state income tax. I have 2 choices. 1). Pay a 2nd mortgage in taxes/watch my money vaporize or 2). buy another house in WA state (appreciating asset) and leave. Portlanders love to vote for taxes that dont impact them and force smart money to leave to support other economies.

You guys are pretty honest for being a realtor 😂

[@hotshothomeimprovement]

There is so much more homeless in literally every other city in America! I’ve lived in 6 other major cities and that is quite frankly a nonissue here in Portland

[@michelero4297]

You convinced me, I will not move to the Portland area. TY

I appreciate your openness and honesty, God bless you and yours, in Jesus’ Name

The Chicago of the West Coast,totally thwarting the will of the majority of the rest of the state as does Chicago to Illinois.

[@crimestoppers1877]

Tell us about property taxes and income taxes?

[@kevinjabroni1554]

Is this a question fam

Oh Debrah!

That ice sound is annoying as heck. Couldn’t watch the video after 15 seconds.

[@jessel2022]

I can hear your footprints through the ice more so than you’re narrating… get a different mic or don’t walk in the snow while making a video

Portland is a "huge, major city"? NYC is over 10 times the population of portland. 10 times bigger! NYC is much safer also because NYC has moderate politics and a common sense traditional police force.

[@brandino97yyc]

On the west Coast it's one of the major areas, and it's a important trading hub

[@_zombie_queen_]

It's huge on the west dude. NYC isn't safer, its bigger, so per capita, sure. In reality no. We have a ton of trading posts and it's super easy to get around and it's beautiful. Well was.

[@neilost86]

Portland is a dump.
