I can’t comprehend why one would watch a video advocating to live in Portland, while having nothing good to say about it…. I guess it’s all perspective.

I lived there for almost 4 years because of a good paying job. But the crime is ridiculous. Anything less than someone almost dying the police don’t come. Had my car broken into 4 times, one time they tried to steal it but failed. Thieves tried to break into my apartment twice while I was home. And not to mention the racist people I had to deal with on almost a daily basis.

Dystopia. Unsafe. It used to be lovely here, but it's not.

I didn’t see the Portland, Oregon part, I just saw “six reasons to live” and felt it was important to click on it 😂😂😂

Thank you so much for the video. My choice was between Washington and Oregon. Oregon wins! I'm really looking forward to my move in August.

Congratulations! I hope you enjoy it so much :)

husband, got offer salary job so im looking to videos to find cons and pros , thanky you for this video!

I enjoy living here, but Oregon came in as 43rd for education/academics in 2024. I have no regrets living here, but I don't have children in school. I wouldn't consider education here a top asset.

Good info! Very insightful!

Glad you think so! People hate on Portland way too much in my opinion

I’m from CA but feel like a new start in life and Oregon for some reason has always called my name but I never been there 😂

I love living here but it’s so expensive compared to the average income and there’s not enough housing 😢

Let's not forget the Public Transportation in Portland is hiring like Trimet (Bus/Train system of Portland with a hiring bonus of $7500), Uber, Lyft, Taxis, Veterans Affairs Motor Vehicle Operator, and C-Tran (Vancouver WA public bus & paratransit Operators)

Thanks for these videos! My family and I are relocating from North Texas Prosper area to Portland Metro Beaverton to be exact! I'm original from West Hollywood Cali and after 5 years in Texas we all had enough.. That said, we visited Oregon this past January and it was amazing I love the diversity, great pedestrian infrastructure and many cool unique things about Portland.

Hello Gary. You're definitely not alone... I can't tell you how many people reach out to us with a similar story of looking towards this area for greater diversity & a more balanced lifestyle. I'd love to discuss your move, specific goals & any time frames/ deadlines you may have. Would you be open to chat via phone or Zoom? Thanks for watching the channel and taking the time to share your story! - Hal

@@TonyMarselle Depending on ones perception of the burbs because the burbs will vary from place to place. We lived in the sticks of North Texas practically and Beaverton is crazy close to everything. For me personally, I lived on the upper west side Manhattan New York City for 9 years and I lived in Los Angeles West Hollywood so yeah Beaverton is not even close to that kind of culture and life style although, I think for us at this point of our lives getting back to the west coast vibe and for the kids and being able to be around some like minded people and culture matters the most.

With 2.5 million people the number of jobs doesn’t seem like it’s anywhere near that. As someone with not working in hospitals, finance or restaurants is finding regular descent paying job difficult at the moment?

I have a weird question about the perks of Washington income tax… is that a real thing? Could you live in Vancouver but work for a Portland business and still have your income tax? Or is it that you can life in Portland and work in Washington for no income tax? Or would you have to both live and work in Washington? My friends and I were talking about moving to Oregon vs Washington and that was a huge thing we were stumped on

I cannot give tax advice, but my understanding & what I've seen with clients that relocate is that you have to either 1) live & work in WA 2) live in WA & work remotely or 3) live in WA & have a hybrid position where you only pay tax for the days you work in OR but the days you work remote in WA don't incur state income taxes. Please contact me if you have more questions at 360.818.4438 and consult your tax professional or I can recommend some for you :)

Portland certainly has its problems & I'll be doing videos on that as well, but it's not all that different than what I've seen in other big cities. Also, this video address the entire Metro, not just the city.
