Living the Oregon Dream: 10 Realities You Should Know
Today we look at what you need to know about life in Oregon. And it isn't just crime, homeless, and Real Estate costs.
Oregon is one of the most exciting states in the US. It is arguably one of the most naturally beautiful states, with a rich history, interesting people, and home to one of the greatest cities the United States had to offer, but now serves as a cautionary tale. Yes, I am talking about Portland.
The rest of Oregon is so different from Portland that it is like they are two separate states.
How to Relocate to Oregon
Oregon has some fantastic universities.
University of Oregon
Oregon State University
Pacific University Oregon
Reed College
OHSU Portland
Do you need a local Realtor for the area you want to move to?

Here is a quote from the former governor, Tom McCall of Oregon & it nicely says it all "I urge them to come and come many, many times to enjoy the beauty of Oregon," McCall said. "But I also ask them, for heaven's sake, don't move here to live." This quote was from 1971. McCall saw the plague of moneyed Locus living in Cali & 52 years later we still don't want them to move here.

I lived in many places in Oregon from the time I was in grade school. No indoor plumbing in La Pine, also out in the sticks out past Creswell, swimming in water holes, fishing wherever, daily roaming fields, my Dad hunting, many times we had an outhouse (cold in winter!) and a water pump outside and it would freeze up in winter, later living in different parts of Portland, and Oregon City and just traveling the state. You could drive on the beach in some places then. So beautiful. People (the ones who lived there) were always willing to help, all friendly. We burned trash outside, picked wildflowers in the fields, dodged the neighbor's bull when we would cut across his field, so many memories. So funny, I do remember if you were from Ca. or had Ca. plates, to avoid people asking if you were just visiting, people would put mud on their front license plate One last great memory was 4th of July in the city of Portland. Then, you could be on the bridge that crossed the river and watch the fireworks go off overhead. Lovely place, then.

You are right. Good reason. I remember him. We didn't want all the progressive Californians to come here and turn it into another California, driving up property prices to the point people had to leave their homes because they couldn't afford the tax price along with the increased cost of living when their wages didn't increase to keep up with it. That's exactly what they did by coming to the Willamette Valley. Many people who lived in their homes and farms their whole lives were pretty much driven out. Too sad.

It truly is beautiful. Sad it’s a Blue state and going down the tube like Seattle, San Francisco, LA etc. No law, no order, no repercussions to criminals committing crimes. Liberals legalized just about every drug possible. Homeless situation out of control. Huge increase in crime. Riots and defund the police garbage. Schools teaching liberal/ socialist b.s. to the kids. It’s a disaster zone now. We lived there for eleven years and had enough- moved to a Red state 6 months ago and will never go back there again. It’s very sad as the natural beauty of that state is absolutely wonderful. You get what and who you vote for. We finally let our feet doing the voting for us. Aloha.

I lived in Corvallis for 15 years before moving to the Bend area. It’s like moving to another state completely, and it isn’t just the landscape. I think you could almost do an entire video on Bend/Central O vs western Oregon. You keep pointing out how expensive Portland has become, but never mention that that *average* home price in Bend has almost eclipsed $800k with outlying residences deep into the millions. I’m currently working on a $21 million house on the outskirts of town that is going up in an entire neighborhood of $10 mil+ houses. The Californians are here, and they are flexing HARD. The service industry is dying because the workers can’t afford to live within 20 miles of Bend, etc.

Most Portlanders drive like they are shopping at Costco, slow, distracted, and lacking situational awareness. You'll see out-of-state drivers speeding and tailgating because so many locals think Speeding is a capital offense, and intentionally drive 5-10 miles under the speed limit. Portlanders are also infamous for matching speeds with cars in other lanes. You'll see locals hop in the left lane to pass, even if they're only doing a quarter mile per hour faster, with no concern for what everyone else is doing around them. Maybe people are tailgating you because you're driving badly? (Before you cry "Californian!", I moved here from Kansas in 1989. I learned to drive in the snow, which apparently few people from the West Coast know how to do.)

Regarding the Cascadia Subduction Zone: I think he put too much emphasis on the tsunami versus the earthquake. As he said, the Tsunami may not have much impact inland from the coast. However, the earthquake could demolish homes, buildings, and other infrastructure on a massive scale in Oregon's urban and suburban areas.

@j.patrickmoore9137 Жыл бұрын
I talked with a geo tech engineer a number of years ago about what it will be like in the Portland area when the subduction zone unzips. He said that it will be like a 5 minute long, 7.0 earthquake. There are a lot of buildings that will fall down, mostly older ones that aren't built to the modern codes. A lot of homes will be damaged as well, and older ones not secured to the foundation will slide off and collapse. Most of the bridges in western Oregon will fail and many on the highways over the Cascades will also be impassable due to bridge failures. Oregon has been beefing up US 97 through Central Oregon, as well as the Redmond airport, to deal with the inevitable disaster. There's a great documentary by Oregon Public Broadcasting called "Unprepared." If you live in Western Oregon, it's worth an hour of your time to watch it.

Some geologists believe it will be in excess of an 8.0+ magnitude. Damage and impacts will affect the region from northern CA to British Columbia, especially west of the Cascade Range. No roads & bridges. The tsunami will hit the coastal towns (one-two punch) within ten minutes of the slip.

People are come as you are atmosphere so you feel welcome anywhere. No sales tax is nice. But the bad rap Portlands getting these last couple years makes me question if I could retire here or not and Jan thru May can be very rainy with hardly any sun/ can do a lot of damage on emotions those months. Would love to see Portland clean up it’s act for the rest of us Oregonians.

Raised in central Oregon and lived there for the first 22 years of my life. I say things have changed drastically. What use to be our fun little playground is now gone. The forests are all being cut down like crazy, people that just moved there or visiting aren’t taking care of the environment and a lot of our lakes are losing water. Sad it see it happen but that’s the price of growing. Don’t think I’ll ever move back.

Starting in the 1970s Democrats from California started pouring in and by the late 1980s Oregon was primarily Democrat. Being old I actually remember it happening. Just like people in Idaho there was a lot of hand wringing but there was nothing that could be done about it. Same thing happened in Washington.

I’ve lived in OR since 2002, did not grow up here but moved here for a guy and loved it. Just a little tired of the 7-8 months of rain but it makes us appreciate the sunny days more. I agree with you, I especially love that it takes 20 minutes to get to a hike it. You literally can drive 1 hr to Mt hood for a ski and 2 ish hrs west to the beach. The coast is calm and not over crowded although it gets pretty windy in most coastal towns. I love all the lushy greens and fresh air that since moving up her from CA I can say I dont get those seasonal allergies as often anymore. If I ever move out of OR it would have to be a state similar to OR.

I lived in Tualatin Oregon, a suburb of Portland for 3 years. Being from the Central Valley of California I will tell you that in order to enjoy that part of Oregon you MUST love gray skies and rain ALL the time. Do NOT underestimate the dreariness of it. My experience of moving from one of the sunniest cities in the US to one of the cloudiest was not an enjoyable one. It's funny because I live in a city this guy rips on but I'm less than an hour from the Sierra Nevada mountains, Yosemite, and the Sequoia national forest, all of which have more natural beauty than anything the Portland aka Stumptown area has to offer. Oh and the beaches that are a couple of hours away aren't rainy and cold 9 months of the year.

The Willamette Valley averages since 2006 or so in the upper 80s/mid 90s in the summers now, and the rain everyone always harps about actually hasn't been a thing at all since then either. Used to have or historic and normal average of 42.5" of it a year up here in the Portland area, but ever since then have averaged around 15"-25" a year and VERY spread out rather than all mainly in late autumn, through early-mid spring. We went from having a average total days a year 100 or above around 3-5 to more around 8-15 a year, too. And a Oregon's theme is to constantly complain about the weather, as as soon as they get the weather they wanted and beg for, they immediately are tired of it/hate it and want the other weather they were complaining about not liking all over again lol. Its annoying. As a lifelong Oregonian myself? I'm haunted by it haha.

I love living in OR. I use to hate the politics here. Now I love and embrace them. I hope the antics of Salem keeps people away. Our secretary of state was let’s go for taking 10 K a month from a pot company. The state reps got busted for taking expensive alcohol from the Oregon liquor board. Then fired the liquor board so they wouldn’t get in trouble. I live in the i5 Corridor. I’m retiring to the east side of the state to live on the side of a mountain in the middle of nowhere.

My daughter moved to Portland last fall and she's trying to get my wife and I to move there. I like it, but the real estate is expensive and the property taxes are nuts. Just not there yet. I Don't want to spend 750K on a house with 11K in taxes and it needs 200k in work.

Yecch. Only incident I've heard of like that happening around here in Baker City was the Braswell boy taking a dump on the steps of City Hall or the Courthouse, according to the neighbor lady across the street (who has been his probation officer at least once). I think he finished his time back in September.

Oregon is absolutely beautiful. Portland is to Oregon what Austin to Texas.

Technically Austin is TRYING to become Texas' Portland. One look at their website proves they've pretty much copy/pasted the Portland blueprint and planning of 15-20 years ago to a T. That's not smart for the record. Not unless you too wish to mimic Portland's rapid decay and decline from their "peak" in the early-mid 2000s.

Speaking of history, Baker City in Eastern Oregon is named after the only sitting senator to die in battle. He raised a regiment of Oregonians to fight in the civil war and died leading them at the battle of Ball’s Bluff

I'm really surprised we didn't learn about that back in 4th grade, when county history was a requirement...Wow. That was way back in 1977, if I recall right too.

Dude where haven't you lived in? Also I'm a daily new sub so do you have a video that talks about you and your experienses? Love the vids. Very informative and sometimes disappointing (meaning the bad parts of any city/state not video quality)

Briggs, why are the beginning of your videos a click track? I hear three clicks and the videos start really odd. The bumper you had was good, maybe an update but good.

I recently got back from vacation in Oregon, and I wondered who was crazy enough to traverse through the seemingly barren wasteland of East Oregon. Then I got to Seaside, saw the statue of Lewis and Clark and said “oh yeah!” In all seriousness though, I wouldn’t mind living in the PNW. It’s just…money and all that! 😩

Southern Oregon gets plenty of snow (try going over the Siskyous in January). The Rogue Valley has a 1000+ft higher elevation than Eugene & north. I’m a life long Oregonian (60+)& the State taxes are outrageously high. At least there’s a choice with sales taxes. Southern Oregon wine producers have switched to growing pot. Areas actually stink (unless you like the scent).
