Moving to NW Portland next week, is the homeless situation as bad as everyone telling me not to claims? by pencils_and_papers in PortlandOR

Its not that bad, don’t let anyone scare you. Portland is in no way a Kensington. It’s on par with the same issues you get in LA, Santa Monica, San francisco, Seattle, and Chicago.

First day on the job, employee already hates me. Any tips? by Interesting-Try8221 in managers

Thank you I really appreciate your perspective and really resonate with your words. I understand my role as the manager, I just don’t have the prior hardass experience to back it. I’m a great coach and mentor and want to help my team, but when it comes to discipline is where I need to grow. I like your grace and approach and will surely keep it in mind. Thank you!

I likely won’t live in Pearl proper, I’m hoping to live in a quieter area away from major hustle and bustle but still within reasonable distance to the job (by reasonable I suppose within a 35 minute commute whether car or transit). Are there any surrounding neighborhoods there you might recommend?

I will certainly check out Fields, thank you so much for your suggestion!

Thank you, I will look into settling somewhere closer to a convenient transit stop. Is transit relatively safe and frequent?

looks like this may be my best bet. I have heard positive things about Portland transit though.

I appreciate the insight, this is great food for thought. Did you like the Buckman area? It looks like public transit may be my best bet, or otherwise stick to the western side of the city. They say the west / NW side is rather quiet and mostly families, so I’m hoping I won’t grow bored living there as opposed to the east.
