I hear mars is gonna have a colony soon.....im thinking of going there

Im in Eugene but i go thailand for if i can i move from northern California weather same go ducks and the moon

Pfft he uploaded a video called 10 reasons to NOT move to outer space

lol

Agree.The larger the population anywhere,more people just ruins everything.Humanity wasnt meant to overpopulate this earth since It was meant to be spread out onto other celestial planets and moons.Someday soon i hope.

That's what I was going to say. It's actually a good place to live but people like him that whine like little bitches about people moving to oregon. Takes time to get used to oregon but eventually you'll kinda like it. I lived there for 5 years then moved back to socal.

Many Oregonians think the same. Prices have really gone up from all the Californians moving here.

Oregon is in the bottom 5% of US high school graduation rates. The schools are so bad. If you have kids DO NOT move here.

@@suzankathleen3953 that's so stupid kids fault for dropping out the schools are fine me and my whole family have you gone to school here we have a couple businessman in our family but make good money we have a doctor in our family some went into the military we have like three teachers in our family all products of the Oregon school system if a kid drops out that's not the school's fault

Tony Rome yea because every kid starts out with a great family, an awesome support system and is encouraged to do well in life. Those stupid kids just decided not to embrace it. That’s great for you, but you have an idiotic small view of reality.

me too

that makes three

Move to Medford Oregon it's pretty fucking calm here

@Todd Jones if you pull an umbrella out in Oregon everybody will know you're not from here. Best to just use a coat that you know is waterproof.

Don't, i live here in Oregon, it sucks

This is amazing Oregon is a great place just stay away from Portland

@@DuhPsychoo Portland used to be great when I first got here but now not so much.

Good! :)

Yes: moving here in Oregon was a great choice for me as well

@Chief Tahchawwickah Oregon has casino so move in portland

Maybe if other states didn’t allow their kids to come to Calfironia for superficial reasons and then need to go back home because they can’t make it long term in Ca..it wouldn’t be the mess it is. I’m a 4th generation Calfiirnian and I didn’t like everyone coming to my state and Fing it up. Now we are beyond repair!

he’s from California... so a Oregon home state report is bull. It would be more creditable if he talked about why he moved from California to Oregon. Pretty obnoxious when someone moves in and criticizes what they don’t even understand. Pretty standard California behavior. “We don’t like our state so we will move to yours and then get on government boards to make it like the state we left.” Actual Oregonians worry about the mental health of Californians.

sounds about right

Katrina Selby well as a person who used to live in California and moved to Oregon. I can say that we moved up to Oregon because of family and something else but I’m not sure what. But, yeah that’s why my family moved to Oregon.

I agree. I grew up here and the snow in the mountains is not as dry and plentiful as it used to be. Rush hour traffic in Portland is getting bad. And the litter problem is horrible.

@@kmselby25 you should worry about Californians mental health, we are crazy...lol Well some of us can be..

Same here. Although I had to leave to texas for family, but I'm moving back soon. I couldn't be away for too long

The entire state is quickly becoming that way due to a greedy real estate industry and outsiders from uber liberal states.

Cess pool

You're right about the greedy Real estate business but it's been Cailfornian's that have driven the real estate market up in Oregon their price of a home down there is over double what it is in Oregon

Is there really a place that a person can get by on a minimum wage job in the US? I am from the Northeast and 60,000 a year is a struggle.

Hiya Heather! Your chagrin and point of view are crystalline, and based on facts. Before the Great Recession, Oregon had solidly decided humans are scum on Earth so more government on our necks was good- this made housing costs bloat compared to incomes and job availability. In Central Oregon, my city, Dem and Repub, worked together for YEARS to come up with a city expansion plan to help make our lives affordable- and we were SUCCESSFUL. Our plan was sent to State. They delayed years, eventually telling us to expand UPWARDS and stack and pack in. Why? Because the sagebrush, desert sand, lava rocks, junipers, sage grouse (covering over 12 Western States) were threatened. Insanity is the norm now.

Nice bike

Stunt Hiker, I feel the same. I rented a cabin in the woods once for three days. I gotta say, those three days were the most peaceful days for me. I did not have to deal with annoying people, traffic and city pollution while is was in the woods.

He's using reverse psychology

I love Oregon, but the new legislation that Kate brown is in forcing through executive power because of covid-19 makes me want to move.

You can always come back....i do after X amount of years.

i come back to see all my family like twice a year but it's a 16 hour drive 😣

ya i am how u know

I moved to San Diego 23 years ago and never looked back until now.. and I’m pretty horrified how much it’s changed!!😱🥺

Toooo much weeed,,,

Fr

Ryan Patershall, so you have mixed feelings then.

Love the state, like the people, hate the politics.

Than move to Iowa! We have really nice people here

Same here in Austin,TX love the city hate the snowflakes

Me too.

You're right the homeless have more rights than the people who pay for there property and always told no you can not do this, you can not do that. But as soon as some one with political power omeit domain it, they do what you was trying to do develop it. But presto its getting developed.

@Chief Tahchawwickah anywhere along the coast . You can check out all the coastal towns. I'm sure they would love to have you . ♡

@Chief Tahchawwickah oh, your a chef??

Do you think eugene oregon is a good place to raise a family?

My friend moved there like 15 years ago and she has been trying to get me to move there or at least visit. I always said if I decided to move out of state Oregon would be it. Oh yeah and the traffic n heat are the reasons why I'm thinking about it.

Same with bend

@@whyareyoureadingthis282 so you like Bend Oregon?

I also live in portland

@Nolan Forsyth My political affiliation has nothing to do with me living in and loving Oregon. You, sir, are just trying to be a jerk and succeeding at it. So my advice to you is to piss off.

@Nicholas Marshall Nick, I have no political affiliation, if you really want to know.

Agreed

look up measure 2020 & the drama around it that might turn you off from oregon

@Ashton Chabot right!

@@arthurmedina6175 you've obviously never been to Oregon have you. Please come to one of our small farm towns and see how that goes for you.

If you are born in any state, doesnt matter where you grow up, by law you are citizen of that state.

True!

Honestly now: tell me one place in this country that it Isn't.

A pithy, cogent, direct, balanced, and worthy statement, Aaron. I see, according to what local health care told me over five years ago, the opioid problem is worst INSIDE THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY- so they deflect and obstruct any discovery by blaming end persons- the persons whom they steal the meds from, particularly ambien and opiods. Heaven help you if you tell them what they tell you about this- "We cannot hold your meds at this clinic, our staff will TAKE them" (emphasis mine).

Aaron Martin TV not like Portland and that’s the truth!

liberalism is Oregon biggest problem. A state full of anti gun idiots. Venezuela now stating they have NO GUNS to remove Maduro. It's awful to be in a totally defenseless situation. That's what California/Oregon want. Venezuela asking Us to intervene as they have no weapons. That's what socialism does for you.

Ssshhhhhh don't tell anyone

Which is Oregon’s way of paying for the tourists. Really stupid. Need to abolish the income tax and go with a sales tax so EVERYONE pays when here. And it’s ‘hey’.

But your state income tax equals me buying $2000 dollars worth of unnecessary items a month to equal your state income tax. I left oregon because of its income tax.

Jason Browning Because only Oregon residents pay. Sales tax would collect from all the visitors who also use services.

You have a federal and state income tax. I pointed that out already. You have me confused with soneone else

Yes Oregon is very beatiful :)

It’s a great place to live, no matter where

I live in oregon its a nice place and nice decision. Also best profile pic XD

Oregon pretty much everywhere (except Washington County because it's boring) is a very good place to move in comparison to a whole bunch of the states. Not the best, but still pretty good

When people talk about Oregon, they are always talking about the liberal, Western part. But there's another area of Oregon, the conservative, Eastern part. I've been told there is mostly arid, desert terrain in the East by people who have traveled through that part. But I never talked to anyone who actually lived in Eastern Oregon to get the lowdown on what that area is like. I would be interested in knowing what a person who has lived in Eastern Oregon thinks about it.

The furthest east of Oregon I've seen is The Dalles and the only thing that stood out to me was a restaurant called, "Spooky's" (which is an interesting name choice considering when it was made)

Vicky Abramowitz I lived about 45 minutes outside Pendleton about 7-years ago for a few years. The climate is very dry, windy and dusty. It's not uncommon to see many tumbleweeds there. You don't notice the dust at first, but after my first two weeks I started getting noticeable buildup. Wearing sunglasses and cleaning pads for eyelids helped. The land tends to be very flat from central Oregon; this makes it difficult if you like privacy or target practicing. Most of the land is for farming and grazing. If you stick around long enough, you'll notice the stench of fertilizer for the fields during the summer. You cannot escape the smell and stay indoors the entire time. During the summer you can get sunburned without noticing before it's too late due to how dry it is. It snows during the winter and black ice is very common. Let me know if you want any other specific information.

+Sam Thanks for the info. I now know about 80% more than I previously knew about Eastern Oregon.

on the bright side, if you are homeless and need a ride to the liquor store our local police department is there to assist, happens everyday

Naw we don’t want you here

I’ve heard Washington is nice maybe move there instead

We’d love to have you here :)

@@mythicx3604 move anywhere but the west coast

@@skeetha6290 why???

I heard the 70's &80's were pretty bad here. Especially, when the gas shortage Hit. I love Oregon compared to living in California... Stockton CA of all places. But yeah, it's been a struggle living here just like anywhere else ..

Will Saint the 70s and 80s in Oregon were amazing for children. I do remember my father griping about gas prices but overall it was rather utopian. Fifth generation Portlander here.

I'm old enough to remember the 70's gas crisis. Yeah, it sucked, but the middle class wasn't squeezed as much as it is now. The cost of college or a house wasn't such a big issue for most families with one income. I blame citizen's united as the root of all of this socioeconomic mess. I'm just glad to be working in tech or PDX would be really unaffordable for me right now.

Yup I'm in Sacramento and made the choice recently to buy a home which was super expensive, but it was my choice, so I know that when I sell t'll be when the price has gone up, which it already has. but you know, if you really want to live in a certain area, you have to do your homework but it can work. For example when I retire, all I want is a bed, kitchen and some kind of media. Lol my plan is to keep my housing costs as low as possible, I hope I can do that.

Truth!!!!!!!

You have uttered the best kept secret of Oregon-Washington, Janet. well done.

Damn easterners, get out of my rainy state!

I don't think it's the weather that concerns folks .

True. But half of OR population is the pdx metro and probably 3/4 on the west. So its fair to assume most people will move to the rainy side

@@dufus2273 Oh.. It does. Have you seen it snow here? Everyone loses all of their shit and acts like we're all going to die. God forbid we actually have a winter.

States cant leave the united states so its harder than it seems

You live in Springfield don't you. Ride motorcycles and are generally miserable at the best of times. I know you Mikey. Get out and smell the roses.

Mike, I lived there for over 30 years - I have never regretted my move away!!

Mike Q bye bye

Good

mike q bye bye,dont come too the north east

nobody cares

And you aren't around the bend, are you?

Same here. But Bend is ruined now. Too many people.

How can you be proud of someone else making a choice for you?

Didn't know that argonians were americans

NatureShy the people are kinda mean actually. Oregon is very racist and pretty much full of white people. I’d move to Seattle or california. (I live in Oregon)

How do you know you love it There when its the only place you have ever lived? Don't put down that pipe Oregonian. You are so compartmentalized that you have become a vegetable.

underrated Yeah it’s pretty racist ngl. But I still think it’s great despite that downside.

shut up kid.... Oregon has been polluted enough with out siders

Well folks--in 25 yrs the U.S. will lose almost half of their land mass due to oceans rising DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING causing the ICE CAPS TO DISAPPEAR! And if you jackass GOP keep your dumbass heads up your stinking butts I hope ya'all drown in your own STUPIDITY!!

Nice! :0)

Very cool! Don't listen to Robert he seems like an ass.

As long as you leave your blasted drone at home.

Hiya Lobster. I appreciate your experience based reporting and analysis. I can sense truthfulness in your expression. It does give me pause- a credit to you. Consider Central Oregon if you like eternally sunny weather, some snow, and they still let canoes on the river(s) if you get a permit and an appointment. IMO it is much better, nicer, to be in 14 degree, sunny, no wind, weather than 42 degree cloudy, windy, watery, cold. Nothing depressed me like Seattle and not seeing the sun for roughly six months in one stretch. Best wishes.

ancient history. different world now

I left Michigan a year ago for Oregon

Do it! PDX is the best

What city you in? Im in medford

Lebanon, sweet home, and the coast are the nicest areas here in my opinion

Thunder Boi - I grew up in Medford. It's actually pretty damn sketchy. The nice thing though is that you're never far from reprieve of the valley to enjoy the outdoors.

I live in Sweet Home😄

What? Unpleasant. We are the rudest people on the planet. If you bother us in any way🐝

Liam Tahaney that is funny. I live in California and work in Oregon at a huge lumber mill!

1959 Oregon was the third largest producer of Lumber in the world,, Everything was centralized around the logging industry,,, I believe I was 7 or 8 years old in Grants Pass Oregon one block away from Millie's restaurant when they took out a dead Redwood tree. it was huge they block four city blocks to cut the darn thing down... what a sight to see, a professional tree topper dropped a hundred foot section that hit a puddle of water and drownded 21 people on the street,,, thank God they were out-of-staters.😊😊😊

As was the nation!!!

Haha. You're right. He says a lot to pretend to not "choose sides" all the while being obvious about which "side" he chose.

I mean it’s kind of fair. Especially if you’re planning on living away from Portland

Agreed. In Wisconsin liberal cities think the rest of us are here to serve and finance them. Like Virginia, they will find out differently.

says the guy on the internet. derp

MusicMonkey101, oh, please... You millennials would not last even one day without going on your phones.

You speak like you have never experienced it hahahaha So tough. "We are stronger than yall think. We could be in the woods without a phone... I think?"

Millennials don't know it but they're the first generation cutting their throats in slow motion. And there so clueless about it.

Ikr, its like they think we're aliens or something.

I am the same way somedays

TheRedKnight; I’ve already moved to Oregon and it’s great. However, since you mentioned Texas, just letting you know, I was considering Texas too before I decided to make the Big Move. But I chose Oregon instead. As for Montana, I’ve heard great things about Montana even though it wasn’t on my list. But it’s close to Oregon and it can be considered to be the Pacific Northwest as well.

I'm out in Eastern Washington but I love Montana oregon Idaho and Washington can't beat it I did work out in West Texas in the oilfield and it's alright

Except Texas too hot and Montana 5 months of frigid winters

The big cities in Texas are not Republican

Bro it makes lines sooo much fun

This is why I consider moving there. It's got the highs and lows of precipitation in one state.

You left out Klamath Falls. LOL

TheGeoScholar eastern Oregon sucks ass though. If you're going to move to Oregon, it's going to be to the Willamette Valley, and it's always raining here. I like the rain way more than the sun anyway.

Geography scholar? So, you look at maps? Good for you, buddy! Only people with the internet... and without the internet can do that. You're special.

oogrooq I do more than look at maps. If you don't have a Bachelor's degree in Geography, you have no right to make assessments of what a geography scholar is.

I agree with all those.

Albert Lee I live in San Diego as well and honestly I can’t wait to leave too

Thank you. As I to am originally from San Diego, well Ramona. But passive aggressiveness drives me to anger.

It's passive aggressiveness to another level. But instead of pretentious people like the ones in San Diego, people are more passive in Portland and Oregon in general, like take their driving for instance, people all go 60 miles per hour and NEVER EVER use the horn. Ever. But that calls for some poor driving skills

Well if you're moving to Portland you're definitely in for a change

keriezy I live in Portland and basically every day a pedestrian gets hit

the infrastructure can't handle the huge population/traffic increase and then you have a mix of aggressive driving transplants from LA that can't drive in the rain and mellow locals that ride bikes and steps out in traffic a lot.

I was born here. Only one in my family in fact, I regret it every day

Why ?

I love the rain; it's home.

Me too, been seriously thinking of coming back to my home/childhood state, would love to enjoy all the places I did as a kid again like Rainbow Trout Farm before I get too old to... being able to toke up without fear while reliving memories is also very tempting, so!

SPARTA X57 I lived in NewEngland for 54 years, moved in Arizona 5 years ago. 114 degrees sucks, no rain and dust storms. I miss the rain too.

then you aren't missing much! They cut all the trees down. 98% of the forests are gone. It doesn't hardly rain anymore.

SPARTA X57 I miss the organ that I grew up in

I think you need to bless the rain down in Africa.

Crystal, this may not be what you want to hear but realize that the mind can go where the body can't go. Maybe, in spite of being chair bound, you can develop other ways of going beyond your confines, but in a mental way instead of a bodily way. They may not be ways that are based on having an active body in a physical space, but they may be potentially just as fulfilling, maybe even more so. I sincerely hope you are not as physically incapacitated as Stephen Hawking, but he might serve as an example to you of what people can achieve even with limited physical capacity.

Crystal, I hiked once with a disabled friend in his chair near Seattle. My heart just sank at the thought that he couldn't hike to the places I've been so I started throwing together ideas for a practical chair - something with electronically activated "legs" which could firmly hold on to a trail and move at the speed of walking or, a small wheels on a set of robotic arms which could lock up to "grab" a trail but freely roll when on a smoother surface. Do you have some thoughts about how this would be built?

Crystal, if i lived near you, i would come get you and put you on my back and we will go for a hike! :) 🌲🌻🌼❤

Hear you Crystal in a day and age where we are inclined to give everyone equal rights we as a society have somewhat failed those who mobile challenged. With the $ we have could certainly create jobs for those who need to build nature accessible trails for people like yourself. I would love to build things that truly benefit others. Just looking for places where people think less of themselves and more of others around them.

Hey i know this is a year ago but have you looked into the possibility of prosthetics to try and help with your condition

@@whoppergoldstein5308 Exactly......I really get bugged when people say that "Oregon is wet all the time". They've never been to Central or Eastern Oregon have they.....where it's DRY AS A BONE!!! (I've lived on both sides of the State). The same with Washington. YES the west side is wet, but the Central and Eastern side are like deserts..and that's 2/3 of either State!! Ignorance is bliss they say.

Hiya Saad! I have good news if you can move East of the Cascades. It is sunny most of the time, never humid, rarely rainy, undepletable water in the ground. The BEST THING about Oregon is Bend. There is a rotating, giant, weather shadow created by the five Cascade mountains all close together, the hub of which is in NE Bend, extending maybe 10 miles in a circle. The best thing about Oregon is the secret Central Oregon dynamics, there are five types of geography, four types of ecology, within 20 miles. Beware living in town, there is a financial bubble in pensions (like PERS you have surely heard of) that is passed via subtle fee and tax moves onto the City residents- water bill pays firemen, dog catcher, police, city, more, pensions that are cratering the City finances. They continuously bleat there is a need to save water (read: charge you more per gallon) when there is an undepletable, replenished, pure, supply from those same Cascade glaciers year after year.

I don't see how you can say the coast is not like Floridas. They're completely different in that Floridas waters are closer towards the equator. Meaning the water and the state of Florida will be hotter. I've lived in Oregon all my life and don't really care for the rain. It's just something you get used to unless it's nonstop then that gets annoying.

Kevin Filbin o

Not to mention much of Texas is flat so there’s nowhere to really overlook scenery. One of the worst states to go hiking in!

I live in West Texas and couldn't agree more! We have to drive 2 hours just to get some kind of canyon to hike in. We were amazed when we went to Oregon for vacation last year at the endless trails!

Housing market here is doing well and lots of people are relocating here for jobs. Seems like a pretty good economy to me.

Breckenridge got really expensive. People want over a grand for just a bedroom. I just moved out of there to Leadville.

I had to move back to California and that was worse. I love Oregon but it's so bloody liberal. Can't stand it, I was Democrat until I moved to Oregon. But coming back to Eugene.. I noticed that More places were hiring once Trump got into office. And no,I'm not a hardcore Trump supporter. It's just my experience.

p k the economy has stabilized now, but back in 2008, which is when I was talking about, it sucked.

RockyMTN steeze, when I lived there back in 2008 my girlfriend was the county clerk, so our apartment was free. I do remember friends complaining about the rent... it's kinda weird that it's so expensive when half the places are empty if it isn't ski season.

Lol. sounds like Oregon

Kat cankan hey sweetie have you checked in the Madagascar ?? lot of land,, a lot of rain,, there a little bit of arid desert, property is dirt cheap,, beautiful ocean view 360° east to west north to south!!,,,, I'm just kidding,, if you like Oregon Oregon likes you,, good luck, with your decision to move here.😊😊

Dale Slover- Very funny😂. I am not planning on moving there, l would like to come on holiday/vacation as you say. But it is so beautiful l may not want to return to London and my river glimpse of the thames😀

Ian, this is PRECISELY what made Oregon great- sufficient space around homes to allow this flexibility. Now, forgotten, we seem to have a mania of converting ourselves to pack in, stack up, or die back mentalities- At a City Planning meeting recently, we were put in a school, divided into classrooms, given maps OF CALIFORNIA URBAN AREAS to scrawl upon. The insanity is not slight. Appreciate your astute observation, Ian.

Ian A go home don’t encourage more people my God look back please go back where you came from

Except the liberal politicians don't want you to do what you want. They want you to do what *they* want. And idiots are okay with that.
