4. The crime problem in East Portland is a bit overstated.

If you go to the city crime mapper, you can see that the crime rates in East Portland are roughly the same as the rest of the city (excepting downtown and part of NE). When you look at the detail of specific crimes, the vast majority are localized near the main streets--(Stark, Division, 122nd, etc).

Granted it's not a particularly good part of town, but when you look at the detail, it isn't really any worse than the rest of the city.
