I guess I should have prefaced my comments by saying I was born and raised In Portland. A place where kids could be outside in the evenings, a place where we often walked down town and had no fears of anything. Now it is crowded with homeless badgering you for money at every street corner. Where the slogan "keep portland weird" has turned my home into a haven for the worst of the worst here on the left coast. I guess it may not seem so bad for someone who likes big cities. Personally we sold out home last year and I am desperately trying to find someplace as far away from here as I can get. Somewhere where family values are still upheld and promoted. Big city folks can co e here to spend your hard earned money, your welcome as long as your weird!
