Was in Portland recently and can confirm it’s looking pretty $hitty in some parts. Saw about 6 vehicles with personally added boots on them to stop theft. I saw about 6 roof top cargo boxes left wide open as to make it clear they are empty. Saw a lot of cars with broken windows.

Visited friends in a nice neighborhood and saw 2 POS cars full of derelicts looking for something to steal. These rigs were so [Bleeeeep!] and driving in circles through a neighborhood and very out of place.

The town does have an air of lawlessness. You just see signs of petty crime everywhere. People are straight loco for paying what they pay for an ordinary house on an ordinary street in that town.

Another weird thing is you just don’t see kids playing anywhere outside except parks and under parental supervision. It does not feel like a family friendly town anymore.
