    Yeah lets go with it since you first brought up anyone being triggered. Lol.
    The triggered are the ones who couldnt handle this thread from the outset, having any negative portrayals of the city and made it a point to try to portray portland as being beautiful.

    So yeah. Lets go with that. ;)

    cool. Im headed to the coast next week.

    I'm simply providing the other side of portland some aren't reporting for some reason.

    and hey its the ones in the link saying its trash. You have a problem with the posts, take it up with the local news networks.:dunno:

    Seems to me, from the outset of this thread, that some people got triggered from it And made a mission to try to change the narrative...


    if thats not you, then hey, your not triggered. So no worries. Enjoy the beach!

    I made one post about my family and I enjoying downtown Portland and you respond with 7 posts about Portland sucking. I'm sure you can understand how I might think you could be triggered. If you're not, oh well.

    Anyway, enjoy your time at the beach! The drive in fall time is gorgeous.

    Wanted to recommend a place if you aren’t too scared to come into NE Portland. You know with how dangerous it is and all. Food cart on MLK and Lombard.
    Union Burger PDX! Fantastic food. Minority owned, guys from the neighborhood doing good.

    That’s why I don’t understand how you question me or where I hang or go to. I’m FROM inner city NE Portland, born and raised. Bro, you grew up in some Brady Bunch neighborhood halfway to the beach son.

    Looking forward to checking out those spots!

    I'm from the south side of Chicago. I laugh thinking about how bad or rough an area has gotten here. Since I've moved here 20 years ago, it's gotten better imo

    It was really bad here mid 80s-mid90s. Gangs all moved up from LA, but they did a great job getting that under control.
    Things are bad right now though. Still my city though. Still going to live. Get out and support the local businesses and live life. I’m glad they made this thread, so I can share our great city with others. I don’t think I have the time to google bad things happening where you guys all live. I don’t know why people would take time out of their busy schedule to share bad things about places, and actually seem to enjoy it.
    Maybe we should start a Gresham or Clackamas or ‘Couv thread? I can only hope you all enjoy where you live half as much as we do where we live.

    I think the City should sponsor Pow Wow Peace Pipe Concerts. A come together time promoting be kind and respectful to all. Leave your politics at the door!

    Where in Carlsbad? We live on the edge of Carlsbad - in the unincorporated area between Carlsbad and San Marcos.

    If they are closer to Carlsbad Village, I am happy for them - The old smoke stack from the old power unit was taken down- quality of life and property values have gone up in that area a lot.

    This is a result of having a shitty police force. Get rid of the corrupt police and pay more for better police.

    Or shut down the Portland Police altogether and have Multnomah County Police handle it.

    Give them free housing in Portland so they are actually part of the community.

    But good police are not going to be interested in working for a corrupt police force.

    When somebody says something which is provably false it's important to point that out so the conversation can proceed using actual facts.

    You are entitled to your own opinions but you are not entitled to your own facts.

    The police have not been defunded. They have not been dismantled.

    The ones who have gone have chosen to leave.
