Homeless people are just camping out downtown Portland. Trash is EVERYWHERE.
I thought Portland would of been one of my favorite cities just by the photos but actually going their for the first time... I would not recommend.
You constantly hear this about San Francisco and when we went there for the first time last year I found a lot of that stuff to be overblown. There’s definitely not shit all over the streets and sidewalks, and the homeless all congregate in certain areas (mostly in the Tenderloin neighborhood) It’s not like they’re all over the place. At least in my experience.
SF and Vancouver are probably the two most beautiful cities I’ve ever been to. Vancouver also has a homeless issue, but again, it’s all pretty much one area (East Hastings). We ventured into that area looking for a brewery and it was pretty sketchy.
I think it’s probably true just about anywhere you have to know where to go and where to avoid.
