I understand the appeal. We have sunshine and The Stars , we are a liberal state where in most places cultures are celebrated happily and so on. We are not perfect in the slightest but I understand it perfectly. I’m from Los Angeles and believe me when I say that leaving California is not a choice I would have made 100% happily if my rent was realistically affordable, if there was no traffic up the ying yang and IN-N-OUT lines weren’t so long amongst other more things.. We have plenty of mountains, beaches and trees n shit to last us a lifetime of adventure. But unfortunately California is becoming a place for the few elite.

Imagine watching a video where they only show clips of your city covered in snow, except it only snows in winter. That's my biggest problem with videos like this. Sure our summers are incredible, which is why if you love the outdoors it's amazing to vacation here during the summer. The footage should be of rain. Drenching rain, sprinkling rain, hail and black skies, days with solid white clouds where it's dark by 4:30pm. I've lived here my whole life, in different areas of Portland, and now with my family in the suburbs. I watch people move here, want to make friends, and leave after a year or two. Either due to underestimating the weather, or they get tired of working 2-3 jobs just to make rent. This isn't a place you move to and hope to get a job. For white collar professionals I've grown up with, there's better opportunities and they have mostly left. Is Oregon amazing? Yes. But it's not sustainable to work so hard for so little.

A message to C (below). Joseph, in Northeast Oregon amidst the Wallowa Mountains may not be as tourist-free as in former times but is still an area of incomparable beauty & not as many hikers as in some other locales. But one area that still seems in relatively unspoiled condition is the Steens Mountain Region in southeast Oregon. Although in the northern section of the Great Basin, the Steens has several varied climatic zones & a spectacular car friendly (at least if you start from the Frenchglen side) washboard surface loop road that winds its way through those several climatic zones (with corresponding unique types of trees & plant species as the road ascends to the nearly 10,000 foot summit). Once one reaches the summit the loop road continues & ends on the highway a few miles south of Frenchglen. This particular section I would not recommend except for four wheel drive vehicles. I was last on it some 14 years ago & I doubt very much that this section is even today in any better shape. But I could be wrong & maybe it’s been made more accessible now. Inquire with the Bureau of Land Management or with local residents. In short this is an area of Oregon not so many are familiar with & well worth exploring, for hiking (I.e., Kiger Gorge) & north of there one can, depending on the time of year, observe Wild Mustangs grazing the sagebrush. The Steens is well worth exploring for those who think they have experienced all the wonderfully diverse landscape that Oregon offers.

I wonder exactly who and how they made up this list. Also WHEN??? I’m an Oregonian and have been over 50yrs. Was raised here and I have to tell you(being raised in Portland which I HAD loved) I wouldn’t encourage people to move there. Also you said it rarely gets below freezing in Portland abs snow is gone in a few hrs. Also not true going back decades. Lake Oswego is a very rich area to live in that I’m doubtful that any middle income person could live in. Reason for low homeless level is because it’s been for the rich for a very long time. One of the problems with high living costs is that people from out of state move here and are raising the cost of living. As for Springfield, while it does have a few nice areas, a majority of the city is quite depressing and full of crime. Methamphetamine currently has a stranglehold in Oregon. In this past year opioid overdoses has significantly rising by 70%. Suicide rate is also higher than the national average. When you like to high methamphetamine addict issues...with it comes high property crimes. In Portland, it saw at least 6months of nightly protests that turned into riots and looting. Eugene, being a mini Portland, has also had issues of riots, looting, traffic stoppage by crowds that attack cars. Homelessness is also a big issue in Portland, Springfield, and Eugene areas. Put it this way, I don’t venture into Springfield alone, and only certain parts of Eugene. If you want your kids to see homeless sleeping on the street in the middle of the day with their butts showing, welcome to Eugene and valley River center(VRC is the high end mall for Eugene area). I would hope that if you are going to recommend places for people to live in, that maybe you should actually VISIT these places. I LOVE Oregon and it’s a beautiful place to live...but the major cities are turning into messes and nothing is being done. This isn’t the Oregon I grew up in. But it’s still a beautiful state with lots to offer. I do live in a small rural town of 6,000 in the mid Willamette Valley. We don’t have violent crime here, some property crimes due to the increased use & availability of methamphetamine in our state. I have lived in this town for over 26yrs and live it. Clean air. Neighbors you actually know. Friendly people that still say hi even if they don’t know you. I know my neighbors and they know me. We watch out for one another. It’s the way in my opinion it should be everywhere but it’s not. I worry regarding the urban sprawl swallowing up the fertile Willamette Valley. I worry more about urban sprawl swallowing up our town and bringing with it the progressive values and influence of Portland. I won’t say where I live, cause I don’t want more people moving here. I’ve lived in this area a very long time as my mother lived in small town 5miles from here. I visited her during summers and fell in love with the area after I graduated high school.

Here it is one more time: Portland is a cesspool (thanks to the mindless virtue signallers running it) and Helsinki is not a cesspool (because we have a well-functioning government here that takes care of problems instead of just blaming them on someone else). You don't need to worry about my language skills, but thank you so much for your concern. I speak five languages fluently, even though I'm American. Perhaps you should concentrate more on your understanding of very basic English, so that you can avoid writing butt-hurt drivel in the future as an apparent knee-jerk reaction to things that you don't agree with. By the way, You really should really brush up on your punctuation regarding the English language. It's hilarious that you talk about someone else's alleged lack of English skills, yet you clearly have at best "Internet English" yourself. Thanks for my daily laugh, in any event. As my way of saying thanks, here's your absolutely free Finnish language lesson for today: The word "kamala" in Finnish mean "horrible". We absolutely love that one here in Finland at the moment. I won't say why, but maybe you can figure it out all by yourself. 😂

Um, did they actually visit these cities? If you are thinking of moving to Oregon, don't. The homelessness is increasing as affordable housing is non-existent in EVERY city/county in the State. Crime along with drug addiction is increasing, unemployment is rampant & due to Covid, many jobs WILL NOT RETURN. The elementary & secondary schools in most counties are woefully underfunded with buildings crumbling down around the kids ears & little to no access to a quality education. State graduation rates are abysmal.

Portland is expensive, not to mention with a high-crime rate it's also dirty with a lot of homeless population. Sadly, it looks like more places are becoming the same.

I don't know what this researcher was on but these cities suck to live in unless you are rich. Portland: A looooooooot of homeless people to the point that some create homes on or right next to some homes. Can't do anything about it cause it's considered inhumane. There are whole streets with homeless on both sides, haven for destructive protest/riots. High rate of car accidents by people without insurance, decent amount of armed theft if your in the high numbered east side.Eugene: is just the smaller version of Portland same shitty aspects.Haven't personally lived there but have visited and have friends who lived and left Eugene. They thought it would be a good place to live. They regret it. And Lake Oswego: If you grow up in Oregon you might know the sadly true other name this "city" goes by. Its basically a rich, possibly 99% white city. Its a pretty place to visit mainly for the lake. Everything else is blah.
