I have a sister that lives just outside portland and I went to visit her a few weeks ago. Its hilarious seeing how clean and nice Oregon is, until the very second you get to Portland, where everything is covered in graffiti, trash and homeless people literally everywhere, and the occasional completely run down, boarded up building just sitting there.
That's actually half the problem. People in Beaverton or Oregon City are trying to act like Portland doesn't have problems, because it hasn't arrived in their neighborhoods.
