My take on the weather as a 30 year resident: My fav months are April and September. May -June is cooler and cloudier than other parts of the country (55-70) which makes those months disappointing. Then July and Aug is when it really warms up and it's best to head to the mountains (coast is foggy).Tons of sun. Aug can be very oppressive in the lowlands, but Sept will be awesome. Summer continues to the first week in Oct, then fall is short. Early Nov on the coast can be magnificent - 65 and sunny, but by mid November elsewhere you're into winter. The worst rains are from Nov 15th to the end of the year. Jan is the coldest month but a little sunnier with your best chance of snow. Snowfalls are light, but ice storms can be vicious. Feb and March are dreary and wet as temps start to warm a little. Then April is extremely welcome, warm to 70 and often not as wet. Beautiful month.
I’m from Florida born and raised and have only lived here for my 26 years of life. It is SO HOT everyday even in November and December. Last week it was 80 degrees. I’m trying to LEAVE that heat 🫠
Sounds fantastic. I lived in Chicagoland my whole life and I had the worst winter for three weeks of hell deep freeze -40°. It was awful. I think the Oregon Washington area would be a great life change as I won’t have the extreme winters I won’t have the extreme summers. I’ll just have a nice balance. I think it would be easiest to live there then try to live in like, southern California or Texas or Florida Colorado would be nice but I think there’s more to explore in the Pacific Northwest and I’ve never been there before
"Avoid moving to Portland, Oregon unless you can handle these 10 facts" would have been a more honest title. There is sooooo much more to Oregon than the Portland area. I realize that more than half of the state's population is in the Portland metro, but come on. Sorry if I sound a bit resentful but as a rural Oregon resident (Hood River Valley) I get a bit tired of how some folks seem to think that Oregon resident must equal Portland resident.
I agree. I don't live in Oregon but I've been thinking about it and all he's talking about is Portland and I don't plan on moving anywhere near Portland anyway
Can any of you recommend good places to live in Oregon? I’ve only ever seen people recommend Portland and want explore other options.
@@unknown44420 Well, what are you interested in? There are plenty of quaint seaside towns on the Oregon coast. Mountain towns in the Cascades. Some medium to large towns aside from Portland (Eugene, Bend, Medford, etc). What kind of setting appeals to you?
Having wanting to move there for a while now or Washington areas; I’m going in this open minded to the fact that Different areas of Oregon are so much different even culturally… like territories/regions. Wouldn’t of thought of Oregon as being just Portland. I can consider it city living though. Thank you for this video. I’m a bit nervous leaving a state and families faces and friends but opportunity awaits. Being a introvert does not help any.
@@rtctdg2000 in the same boat. Living in California right now but I wanna dtart something new in either Oregon or Washington. Just don’t know which of the 2 and which cities. Any info would be appreciated!
$450k price range for a house is not "affordable"
From Portland and been in Texas for years. And yearly I'm home sick. Miss the beauty and nature activities.
Currently in Florida and interviewing for a job in Portland, just discovered your channel recently. I have a lot of videos to watch, lol. Appreciate all the content
Did you get the job?
Wanna trade houses?
Did u take the job? I’m in similar situation :)
U may possibly live in the best state in the country. Yes the weather tropical storms abd lack of mountains suck but the economy abd politics there are hands down the best. I've been debating Orlando but I've been trying to look into republican heavy cities in Oregon. I love trees mountains and the ocean.
@@11onejay Orlando is getting extremely crowded and over populated as of right now. Prices have gone up, and the cost of living here went up as well. Florida is becoming the most expensive state. Orlando is great place to visit but not to live. My fiancé and I are planning on moving out of Orlando.
I've recently moved here from Texas. It's been Much hotter than expected. Perhaps a video on the laws... Or lack there of.
Lol....you did it backwards
@@obijuankenobi420 not really, it's reliably HOT in TX, it's unusual here
The realtor in this video recently moved to Texas to get away from Portland Oregon, he has another channel on youtube promoting his real estate office in Houston Texas. Tells you a lot about what he really thinks of Portland.
@@obijuankenobi420 🤣🤣🤣 okay. I was thinking the same thing
@@angelaj8958 it’s not hot in portland.. the weather that portland had this pass summer is unusual.. that rare. It nvr got that hot
Why did you leave out the homeless part?
Have you been to Austin, TX? I think homelessness is the same in all major cities. They were everywhere here and not just in Austin downtown.
@@scotttang6229 yeah and austin is no where near as bad as portland
@@scotttang6229 Nice try, but Portland is 1000x worse than Austin.
Let’s fix it Y’all. It’s going to take all of us
That’s EVERYWHERE
Housing prices will not go down any time soon, IMHO. Inflation is too high for it. Expect double digit appreciation in prices I think. I am no expert: this is just what you see everywhere on the news.
because of the californians moving here!!!! they need their houses burnt down in middle of night hahahahah
Important things I wish realtors would have told me before moving to Portland Multnomah County. You are financially taxed extra 1.5% annually if you make 125k or over if married it’s 200k your forced pay a extra baby sitter tax, homeless tax, art tax that others who make under that do not have to pay & increases of 0.8% coming soon to 250k single & 400k married. In parts of Portland metro you have to pay annual fee for a backwater test on your home this is another scam. Was never told the Max light rail system is a moving homeless shelter with open drug use & drug transportation inside train, the homeless people ride for free, sleep & live on train year around spreading diseases & toxic drug residues like fentanyl all over inside the riding cars. Plus there we’re no toll road’s very few photo ticket cameras & not a police state focused on taxing working people this is all unfortunately changing, more & more homeless people are shipped & welcomed here & more police now who only going after tax payers & toll roads more traffic ticket cameras on the way. Do your research before moving here it has some great areas but some are horrible & stay out of Portland basically is what I’ve found unless you’re very wealthy & do not mind what I listed above.
Funny! I was watching you when we needed help and info to move to The Woodlands in Texas from Tualatin and it helped us A LOT. Now we are thinking about moving back to Oregon as well because our teens are not happy here. Hope you are loving back up there again, cheers! Looking forward to possibly moving back to the in 2-3 months. The Woodlands is beautiful but the rest of Texas just isn't for us after growing up in the PNW, missing those Christmas tree farms and dare I say the rain when we did nothing but complain about it.
Fun fact. The PNW is actually far less rainy than what's known as the deep south.
Lol Florida rain dumps are predictable at 4 pm in summer but last 5-15 minutes. Sounds better than gloomy clouds for 6 months of the year
@@AssBlasster maybe it just depends on what you want. I’d love the idea of coming down to Florida living on the gold coast but there’s no mountains there’s not a lot of greenery and they do have coastline in Oregon and Washington beautiful and then you can go to Canada, if you like Vancouver and such drive the train through the Rockies.
There seems to be an unwritten law that apartment houses have to be built right next to all the freeways. I reside in a senior and disabled of any age building. The busiest stretch of I-84 is literally over a fence. If you have respiratory problems, they will get worse living in an apartment next to the freeways here. Stupid, uncaring planning folks, and developers here. And San Francisco prices.
My brother was born in Portland where my family lived in the mid-sixties. My parents left because it was grimy, crime ridden, poorly planned city with with an aging infrastructure and a lot of crumbling houses and neighborhoods. Portland re-invented itself in the early seventies and now faces an excess of people wanting to live there, because it became such a desirable place to live and now it’s expensive and overcrowded, not deteriorating.
I would caution people to shop around if your looking for a rental. A lot of these management companies are very very predatory! Costs can be insane and once they lock you into a lease, if you have any issues; they be like,"too bad so sad".
how could you ignore the devastating increase in property & violent crime in Portland? or, the fact that drug use and homelessness are rampant in downtown Portland?
You did not mention gross taxes. High tax rates. Granted, you might have a lower cost of living from Seattle and California but you got some mean tax rates and the items Oregon taxes.
Is that why alot of people live in Vancouver? Legitimately asking since Oregon has really high tax
@@giannizamora7247 yes it is correct. Homeowner taxes are getting outrageous, and really you get nothing for it, no street cleaning, no garbage cleanup, Resident here since 93'.
Oregon income tax rates are higher than California. There's no sales tax, but it's discussed regularly and someday it will happen. And likely they won't reduce the income tax. People here are very bad at math.
do you have any videos about health insurance options in Oregon?
Dude, which Portland, OR are you talking about?! Cuz the one I live in is post-apocalyptic. Stop lying… it’s terrible here.
Do the research don’t listen to this person.
Dont forget the lovely increase in crime rate, homeless, shootings/robberies and trash/dumping.
oh ya your right, mustve slipped my mind!
and don't forget the super high rents, wages that don't allow anyone to afford living in an apartment, stupid people who are anti vaxx and support fascism, and don't believe in following mandates during a global pandemic that btw is STILL HAPPENING.
Rent is the same in Portland as where I am, yet I'll make almost double just working in restaurants. My quality of life will skyrocket, while also making more money. Too me, Portland looks cheap af with tons of opportunity to work.
I loved Portland. I think the weather is great however the traffic is awful and the overpopulation at all the outdoor events wasnt for me.
💯
You need to disclose if these are ads chief.
Stop Lying. You moved away from portland because you hate it there. Now you're trying to make money on the backs of people by implying you still live in portland. How many real estate deals have you actually done....It's one thing to move and make videos...but for the last couple years you haven't mentioned that.....not once....is that being truthful?? Hw many times have you said you live in Texas....Don't worry we saved all the good parts already.
Exactly what I just said like he been saying he moved from Oregon to Texas selling houses now all of a sudden he's back in Portland like bye 🤦🏾♀️😒
😂😂😂😂😂
Portland is broken I would suggest moving elsewhere
I was wondering if there was a tiny house community in Portland Oregon I've heard that there is one in Oregon and was wondering how close it was to stores if there was one
It is located in the coastal area.
@@Novabrek Meaning the river or the actual Pacific Ocean coast? The latter is still a livable part of Oregon.
Arf. I'd NEVER be able to buy in the Portland Metro area. BUT, there are loads of opportunity.
I also wouldn't want to buy there. I'm on the South Coast. 😊
I can handle these. I’ve lived here for 8 years 🇺🇸
My cousin and husband lived in Beverton for years he worked for Nike and retired a millionaire.
Sounds like Mike 🏀
Just got back from Portland. I thought it was a zombie city. Downtown is nasty, dirty, unsafe, and filled with drug addicts and criminals
Sounds like every city. That's because this is an empire in the throes of decline.
How does homesteading look like on the west country side of Oregon? Market gardening?
Not really sure. We don't see it at all where we are at.
Wait.....you're back in the Portland area ?
Time stamps really help.
I want to move to portland so bad! But I have to convince the person i'm living with first to make the move.😉😉
It is shit here and I'm planning to move out of here. Highest state income taxes in country, 9.9% and cost of living is high as well.
Are there enough healthcare jobs? More specific. Patient care Thecnician like hemodialysis? Physician assistant?
Love all the B Roll !!!
Just DON'T MOVE TO OREGON, I've lived here in Southern Oregon for 30+ years, I'm moving, this state sucks
It's America. Every state sucks.
@@maxsmart9116 😂 sounds about right. Don’t get me wrong there are beautiful sceneries but the living can make it difficult
Can you explain why you are moving?
Southern Oregon is where it is at! Best weather in Oregon
its the prettiest but still nothing to do
It may have good weather but that's it, I was born in Grants Pass, so many places in Southern Oregon that are dated.
That intro has is off the hook yo'! Felt like I'm getting ready to watch a podcast based out of a Daft Punk party bus!
HAHA!
I-5 by wilsonville almost comes to a stop during rush hour. Probably no surprise.
Im a social worker and I am struggling so hard to determine whether moving to Washington or Oregon is best and where I will have a better quality of life. Can I get some help from those that live there?
If you move to the Portland or Seattle area you shouldnt have a problem finding work in that field. I also have a degree in social work, but live in a small town. Much harder here and I had to find a job in a different field but the big cities should be easier.
Both states have more than enough social workers try going somewhere like Oklahoma
What about Arkansas
Washington is better in my opinion if you like modern things
DONT.
Keep up the good work, I will be moving up there next year, with my girlfriend
Sounds great!
“Literally”
I want to leave
This seems mis-labeled. It's all about Portland, not "Oregon" which is much larger
Is there a good foot running vibe and culture in Oregon?
Yes! Lots of trail running too.
you may spend a lot of time running for your life.
Yeah he might also want to mention the homeless issue and filthy my hometown has become. It's never been this dirty and hopeless here. There are pros and cons. I believe this guy is a bit too optimistic concerning a potential move here. Definitely do your homework before making the move. And consider whether you have any kind of change you would like to bring here to make things better. I am currently working in that myself. But it's not easy anywhere you go. Only The Lord Can make things right. But we can make our voices heard and bring righteous change. God bless you ALL. 🌴🙏🏼🌴😁👍🏼💖
I moved here two years ago and can't wait to get out. Portland was a great city 10 years ago or even 3 years ago. It's filthy, the nightlife is greatly reduced, and income taxes are high (and I moved here from CA). Oregon the state is probably still a good place to live, but PDX is DOA.
Our new government is inverted totalitarianism and managed democracy. Since citizens united you know that orwellian law that made corporations people and they and the super rich could start buying elections and representatives? This is an empire in the throes of decline.
I love how you deliberately avoid discussing the horrific politics and the outrageous amount of homeless drug users 👍 Great video
I got out of Portland 2 years ago... it's an absolute shitshow!! I moved to Portland in 1989 and it was a great town. Now it's a mess. It's your money do what you want.
And the bastard lied in the beginning of the video about how great #10 was going to be 🤣🤣🤣
Anything along I-5 is. But the whole state is governed by the same liberal mindset in Salem.
Portland is dead, especially downtown.
@@etiennedegaulle3817 Wdym it's poppin' with homeless askng for cigs in Chinatown. And I mean, who doesn't wanna meander into Union Station,
@@AssBlasster Touché. I lived for 2 years across from a Plaid Pantry. Asking for cigs was the most mundane thing possible.
HI, I maight move fraom Norway to Portland, But if I buy a fral at around 300k what will I have to pay in property tax? will it be around 3000$ a year ?
Approximately but it always depends on city.
@@LivinginPortlandOregon OMG ! no wonder you guys in US, have alot of homless people. Ok, we have high incometaxk in Norway, but not all citias even have propertytax.........the dram of going to US, and settle, is then over :) I heard, aldo New Y. hva about the double of that .
I love Oregon
It is great living here, it is beautiful and so much to see and do, no sales tax. Some people are putting it down to keep others out. Especially those that wear red hats, ban books, need a fascist in charge because they can't think for themselves.
People are actually leaving Portland lots of the money pulled out of Portland 😂shops closing etc. hiking trails be careful used needles laying out.
People need to be more truthful Portland is broken I live here.it’s nothing like he says it is.
I thought you lived in Houston selling houses???🤔🤔🤔
I'm so confused. He says there's a lot more to Oregon than Portland but then spends this whole time speaking about Portland. Feeling pretty annoyed.
Ya that's cause he's from ID so anything looks better, there is more than just Portland, I was born and raised in Oregon and have lived from one end of the state to the other and in between the Eugene area is good too lots of little towns and the great thing is your're only a couple of hours either east or west, east for the high desert and west for the mountains and the Pacific ocean.
Video starts at 1:45
They need to house the homeless and migrants since we legalized personal drug use and we are a sanctuary state
Stay in Florida.Oregon is broken lots of homeless people.crime is out of control
There's an uptick in crime everywhere. The crime in Portland isn't shit compared to other cities. You guys are a bunch of crybabies.
We have that in Florida too
@@NTEDOG561 but maybe in pockets right. I’m in sflo as well
@@indy3240 all over Miami being the worst. Not as bad as California or Oregon but still.
Get your sh&$ together Portland!!
Love this video idea, great job, are you getting leads from this?
Don't forget to mention the %23 income tax.
If I ever moved to Portland, you'd be the guy I'd call. Tom in Shizuoka prefecture, Japan
My home town !
@@hiromiB1971 今掛川市に住んでいます。
my inlaws lived there when my husband was a baby
Dude said nothing about ANTIFA violence and police impotence.
No reason for me to ever visit Portland Oregon. From everything I see, nothing about this state appeals to me.
I love Portland and I love Oregon because it's polar opposite of Texas my home state. The weather is cool and wet unlike hot and dry and windy! The people are way cooler and probably don't tell you you're going to burn in hell everyday. It's not gun violence everywhere you look or domestic violence everywhere you go. I don't see near the mean drunks I do in Texas
If u love the sunshine don't move to Oregon
You missed snowmageddon.
I’m sorry but as a true digital nomad there isn’t a major city I haven’t lived. What’s funny is the comments. Seems political. Texas Oregon California snipes. Not gonna to burst your balloon but homelessness and hot weather is bad everywhere and neither republicans nor democrats have a solution
Austin TX sprawling economy but clearly a homeless problem. Some cities Portland LA San Diego are worse but it’s bad everywhere
Pssst… it’s a carrier pigeon lol
moved there in 2010, escaped in 2020. there isn't enough money on earth to make me go back.
I moved here in 2016, I'll be leaving soon, it sucks!
@@outlierproject9029 you shoulda been there back in '10, it was a fantastic place.
I'm in South Florida, I was considering Portland or Salem, mainly want to move somewhere green, less crowded, with a decent population. Would you recommend anywhere else in Oregon or just in general?
@@theincfiles The major population centers are portland, salem, and eugene, and i wouldn't recommend any of them. Nothing on the I5. Homelessness, and extremely liberal politics if that's a problem. Bend is beautiful but pricey. And inheriting some of the problems from portland that it has.
Literally every single city has homelessness. And it's liberalness is an attraction for many folks.
The latest data on Redfin shows that the interest in moving to Seattle and Portland is falling fast. Oregon needs to re-criminalize drugs.
Don't forget the homeless people are over downtown
Facts
11:27 aren’t there mostly highways there and they’re capped at 55?
Great vid thanks! 👏👏
The drivers are very polite there.
CHANGE THE TITLE IF THIS IS ONLY PORTLAND.
You need to be a scientist to get those jobs
Graffiti, drugs, homeless and antifa yay!
Don't let the secrets out!
I like how he didn’t mention one of the worst homelessness and dirtiest cities is portland and ive been to almost every bug city in the US
Because what is new? Every big city has excessive homeless populations. Haha i grew up in Florida, but homeless pop is still big. They just live in the forested areas out of sight instead of the sidewalks and freeways underpasses....
You need to get out to many cities before you conclude that Portland is singularly bad. Louisville, Ky. and Indianapolis have large sections with street people, drugs, shootings and robberies where crime was low 30 years ago. It’s not a west coast thing, per se.
Avoid moving to Oregon unless you can handle this one fact... Portland.
LOL!!!
You ruined the planet!
Drizzzy?
Lived in Oregon my whole life the state is in dire distress due to politician’s making and passing laws making the little guy the blue collar workers struggle I drive truck for a living and don’t make near enough to make a comfortable living we are losing timber companies all the time costing jobs that this state was founded on literally on the capital is a golden man holding a axe homeless rates throughout Oregon are at a all time high along with crime rates people who’ve only been here for 4yrs have no room to speak on how great this state is I get it I love Oregon but true Oregonians are about sick of this state and it’s political parties making it hard on it’s citizens
Yah this person would hate it here so don't come. Move to Florida and let Deathsantis run roughshod over your entire life.
Please don’t move here newcomers have destroyed our way of life
😂
I'm sure that's what Native Tribes said when they got colonized, yet here we are
It's America. People can move wherever the hell they want and there's nothing you can do about it.
@@doasty we conquered them they can get the f*** over it.
I moved here from Boston but actually have roots in E. Washington. Does that make me a newcomer?
Injured on the job in oregon in 2014. The state refused to treat me, I could not get my case to court for years. Lost my house, still injured and still homeless.
Oregon is a failed state, you have zero rights!
Pray to god he will guide you and help if you ask for it
it use to be a choice, the state of Portlandia or the state of Oregon, unfortunately, the tentacles of Salem's hard left-wing leftists are no longer satisfied with the valley but are hellbent on 'shaping' all of OR.
there was a similar problem in the '80s with the Rajneeshees and they were ultimately kinda
chased out of the state, maybe too bad but they too wanted 'all of OR -- no different than Portlandia's leftists. If only the Rajneesehes could have simply kept to 'themselves' all would have been okay...
so what it boils down to is 'toleration' of left-wing extremists and their agenda; hardly palatable for folks who have kids but maybe tolerable for folks who do not object to rampant crime, illegal drug use, the ubiquitous bums, and lunatic politicos...
Lunatic politicos? Try living in Idaho.
I was born in Miami. Florida is a real shit show. People if you want to see crime n drugs and homelessness move there. Ohhhhhh wait isn't that a red state. Ran by the far right extremist domestic terrorists. Stop acting like every blue state is totally fucked up... because they aren't. Red states have more people living in poverty they have more overweight and sick folks who are uninsured and refuse to get help because ya know... that means government and to them it's an evil empire. Don't let these rethuglicans blind you to the truth.
@forgotten man, your highly partisan rant could just as easily have described Louisville, Ky. There are people living in the streets literally a block from Mitch McConnell’s home. Handgun crime in the city and in nearby Indianapolis has skyrocketed in the last 15 years. Indy, the most Republican large city in the nation, was rated a couple of years ago the 3rd most dangerous city from handgun crime in the nation. There were so many street people asking for money while sitting on the sidewalks of downtown Indianapolis on my last visit, they blanketed the downtown. That’s the heart of your conservative territory. So stop with your whining about leftists.
What a joke !!!
Top 10 of all time!
