Portland is great. And there are many places to live in Oregon as well. 30 years ago, Portland decided to reinvent itself. The citizens did a good job. Now, again it is up to the citizens because government can't do it all. We can and will work together to make things better for our children and our grand children. I know that Portland has the bones and the will to do it.

Great.

This popped up in my RUclips feed, so I chose to watch it. I'm originally from Portland, but after getting married in 2011, I relocated to Vancouver to be with my wife. Although I'm nearby, I still find myself missing Portland. I feel like most of the people that turned on this city were not from here in the first place. Although there were some challenging times over the past few years, it appears that conditions are now starting to get better! Many of us who grew up in this area love this city!

🥰

It is illegal to not pay federal and state taxes. It is also illegal to have off-shore security accounts, collect interest income, and not pay income taxes on the income. That is why WA Highway Patrol is looking for vans illegally moving cigarettes to WA and not paying the tobacco tax.

Good video. It is against the law not to pay sales tax on goods and services purchased in Oregon while living in WA. It is stealing. Tax cheating.

Can you link the video mentioned about development projects coming to the area?

I feel the need to point out that the vacant, tagged building behind them at :30 is going to be demolished soon and replaced! They're walking through lovely Sellwood.

I visited Portland for the first time last month and can attest that the city is not a hell hole. Actually it was quite lovely! When I went downtown, sure there were some homeless, but it was NOTHING compared to LA PRE-pandemic. The city made quite an impact on my gf and myself and potentially considering a move there from San Diego in the next year.

Some Californians probably moved back there because after a few years they realized they couldn't handle The Big Dark from Oct-Feb! 😂

The mayor is worthless

My experience in Lake Oswego is unique. I’m a person of color and I was transferred to Portland. I lived in Tualatin but worked in Lake Oswego. Lake Oswego is not exactly a multicultural part of Portland. It was 4-5 months before I saw a person of color. I felt the eyes every weekend I was hanging out in Lake Oswego..I had a co-worker who told me a joke (He thought)💭 Do you know what the call Lake Oswego? I said no.. Lake No Negros..🤔

I lived in Portland..the taxes are incredible. Especially for the seniors. If you’re retired..good luck

Have you looked at 16176 Matthew Court Lake Oswego? Very nice, close to the lake and on a nice quiet cul de sac.

Sounds like a six digit paycut. I hope I never have to move back to poor again.

Aside from interest rates how much of the slowing economy (and the home price spikes of the last two years) are effecting home interest?

that is a very nice area.

I love your videos mainly because I love Portland but can’t convince my wife to move there because she’s afraid it will be too much on her seasonal depression. I live in RICHMOND,VA ironically for this video. But love your videos! P.S. next time you do a neighborhood walk video, get a mini duffel bag and play the sad walk away music from the Incredible Hulk!!😂

It is bizarre that real estate agents have SEO optimized the living heck out of “living in Portland” on RUclips.

The homicides just keep happening, Portland is the West Coast leader in that category. So violent.

Bro these people gonna get y'all robbed shot and killed they not listing none of the crimes killings SMH terrible channel

Lived in NE 1965-2016. Democrats destroyed the city and I finally escaped in 2016. Whatever the left touches it destroys.

Must be new to the area. Should have been here for the riot on campus and the Antifa occupations. With defund the police, many stores have vacated the city, such as Walgreens. I don't visit anymore due to crime. Last time I was there, took Max to a Blazer game and parked in a park and ride with Tri-Met security patrolling the parking and trains station.

I’m done, honestly. We have at least 5 yrs until we can potentially move. I had 2 drug users in our rental. The city is doing nothing but coddling. The laws are extremely landlord unfriendly. I’ve been on the spring water trail regularly seeing drug deals, prostitution, large amounts of trash, twice my buddy and I stopped our bikes to put out tent fires. Constantly I get to witness drivers tailgating, speeding, without license plates. We no longer have highway patrol. Absolutely flippin stupid. I can’t walk to school with kids because sidewalks full of tents and their shit. It was a great place 15 yrs ago, with its share of seedy, but it’s now totally disgusting and sad.

Considering moving from Los Angeles to Oregon, with my wife and 6 month old. Just not sure where to get started, as far as finding a good job and affordable housing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

No one I know will sit on hold for two hours to make a report on crime so I don’t know how they figure their crime stats.

I used to live in Oregon. I didnt do as good in Oregon but some people like it. I personally wouldnt go back.

No one in their right mind who has cpmmon sense wants to move to Portland, Or Oregon for that matter. Its a dump now.

Mister Cullen you ain’t by Chance related to Don Cullen of Cullen rentals up in Cowlitz county Washington are ya???? Lake Oswego nice but looking to build on 2-5 acres Kalama Woodland up to Castle Rock WA Red pill 💊 no state income tax maga country blue state not gonna get a felony for weed from dickhead Desantis!!!! 😂 Hoping Trump win gas goes to 2.75 a gallon mortgage rates down to 4% and we can Clearcut America and replant Stay blessed #WLM 😂

If you like being near PSU and the Waterfront, as we have, you might take a look at our condo for sale. The safest block downtown. Great views. We are moving back to Europe. 111 SW Harrison St Apt 18B Portland OR 97201

A few months ago I saw a 1br condo on SE Belmont near 30th. It was an old building (~1920s). The place had no pool, no workout area, and no landscaped yard, yet the monthly HOA fee was more than $500. Why on earth would that be the case?

Great video, Aaron! Loved learning about Stafford’s beautiful properties and unique charm. Your insights on the acreage and tax deferrals were super helpful.

Love your video!

I feel bad for anybodys mental health who has to live in Oregon. I did so much better in life after I left.

Love the code words and showing the Black child when discussing East side schools. Ugh!!!

Anyone moving to Portland now should have their head examined. I'm only here because I was born here. If I weren't already here, Portland would be at the absolute bottom of my list of places to live.

Lake Oswego has its own police department and its own City Hall. It’s not a neighborhood . . . And It’s not in Portland at all. Don’t misrepresent.

Yo didn't mention the Homeless

Portland can be great if you can afford to live in a nice area

Wishing you the very best in life and in your business. As a resident of Oregon City, I have a vested interest in the livability, natural beauty, and economic success of Portland! 😊👊

Portland is an absolute toilet. Don't even think of moving here.

Here’s a con of Lake Oswego- unless you live at the waterfront, you’re basically in Carmel, Indiana.

Well done! We are looking in Oregon and Washington for land to build a custom home, no hoa. Will keep you guys in mind!

great video!

Another great video you two!!

Beautiful there

You are the people that are making our home unaffordable. If you don't like the weather stop complaining and leave.

Another great video….however, when you are promoting the high quality of Lake Oswego schools (which they are), the potential buyer has to make sure they are buying a property that entities their kids to attend a Lake Oswego school. Look at this map. Everything above the dotted red line is Portland/Multnomah County school districts. Everything below the line is Lake Oswego/County school district. Portland side has average schools and a much higher property tax rate along with a Homeless tax and an Arts tax. LO side has lower per capita takes rates and exceptional schools. I know many people who relocated a portion of the Mt. Park neigborhood in Lake Oswego, received that precious LO address and zip code, only to find out their kids will be attending Stephenson or Capitol Hill grade school, Jackson Middle School and Wilson High School. Very shocking and frustrating when they can see Oak Creek Elementary from their front yard only a couple of blocks away, but their kids can’t go there. www.oregonmetro.gov/sites/default/files/2024/05/14/Jurisdictional-boundaries-and-parks-44x34-20240509.pdf

I like your videos and information. Where do you get a good steak in LO?

Definetely getting in touch, we are in the planning process of moving to Lake Oswego, we are working with our realtor here in TX to see if we are selling or renting for the time being …but if selling we’ll need a realtor in LO and you guys are awesome, kind of the reason we want to move there in the first place.
