I have a lot of allegiance to Portland -- I am a native Portlander and have lived there many years of my life, in NE and SE. It is a practically perfect city. For the last three years, I have lived in Clackamas County, and have been most pleasantly surprised as its attributes have been revealed. Sure, it has snooty areas and Republican areas and areas pocked with the disease of anti-taxation and anti-progressivism. But so does Multnomah County, for sure! Portland itself has notoriously underfunded its schools in recent years. And just try to get a library bond passed!

I guess the OP should read The Oregonian and Willy Week and the Trib online for a while.

The cheapest housing is generally East of SE/NE 82nd avenue. laconicsax Jun 2012 #1

east of 82nd avenue is also where crime is a growing problem. grasswire Jun 2012 #2

The crime problem in East Portland is a bit overstated. laconicsax Jun 2012 #4
