After Two Years Here, I'm Starting to Think Oregon Sucks

I could have save you some time........I knew this years ago.

Yet....I still live in Portland.

Aaron, you know I kinda liked it at first. But after two years, I feel like I've seen most of the Portland Metro area and the novelty is wearing off. Every day I see more negatives, and less reasons to stay. I'm starting to miss Laguna Niguel, CA. I don't know if I could move back to CA though ...

**AaronM** · 03-22-2005, 06:40 PM

I know where I want to retire but I don't wish to move there now......Not sure where the hell to move to so I stay here and travel a lot to avoid this shithole.

The negatives: toothless Meth users now inhabit the entire East side (which is pretty much worthless), unpunished theft crimes, downtown is filled with bums & runaway teens, the economy is really shitty, the road infrastructure and maintenance sucks for the population load, gangs infest North Portland, white trash qualifies as upper-middle class, Fridays and Olive Garden are high-end restaurants, shittiest drivers I have ever seen, Willamette River is mostly poo, tons of ugly lesbians, "sexy" girls here have hairly legs and many tattoos

Positives: nice green trees, interesting weather, some cool upper crust areas (Lake Oswego, West Linn, restaurants in the Pearl & NW District), good access to outdoor activities

This is just off the top of my head. Please feel free to add to the list.

Sounds like southern California without all the fucking rain!

Nope...Nothing to shoot here.

Don't bother.

Well now...There's a novel thought.

Gee...Why didn't we think of that sooner?

**Tat2Jr** · 03-22-2005, 07:08 PM

We moved outta Portland about 5 years ago. We were all set to move to Maui, but with just a month left until the move we changed our minds and headed down to San Diego. We had the cat chipped, the ship space reserved, and we were heading to the island. Thank god we decieded last minute on Southern California. I love visiting Hawaii, but I'm so glad to live on the main land. And I'm SOOOOOO happy I don't have to deal with the awful weather of Oregon anymore.

**Tat2Jr** · 03-22-2005, 07:10 PM

Oh, forgot the pros of Portland.... The Chicks are NASTY. Can Get them to do lots and lots of naughty things.

**kmanrox** · 03-22-2005, 07:30 PM

no offense, but the thought of living there makes me want to slit my wrists.

I have a friend moving there this summer. He's trying to get away from CA. But that's like moving to prison to get away from your inlaws.

**DateDoc** · 03-22-2005, 09:38 PM

I almost bought a place in Gold Beach but that is far from Portland.

**Chris** · 03-22-2005, 09:50 PM
