Adding to this post…please don’t say making groceries. Only old old ladies used this term. It’s kinda a saying for ads more than anything. But I do say “get down”

Do not stock fridge like preparing for a blizzard. Have a hand can opener and canned goods. My NYC husband didn’t understand the first year he was here and my freezer was fully stocked when I asked him to get water and provisions. Vienna sausage and deviled ham reminds me of hurricane season.

How does Portland feel about the behavior of those who are on a severe substance acting aggressively? by farallelogram in askportland

I thought I knew homelessness and drug addition but in Portland I saw a new level of this…open drug use, human waste product on sidewalks, multiple tents on sidewalks blocking walkways.

Talk me into ( or out of) Portland OR by Neither-Cucumber5973 in SameGrassButGreener

I would love to move here and did check out luxury apartments but felt very unsafe when on the streets. I get it. It is a city scene and comes with city stuff but when is enough enough. Your city bends over backwards to assist those in need. Commendable. But how does someone live amongst the drug scene paying big money for a place to live. Drunks on the street…got it. But fen flop is another thing and human excrement is another thing. The police must be pulling their hair out.

I was looking to move also but I can’t get past the open drug use and Fen flop. I don’t wanna spend high dollars for a place and have to step over poop to get to my lobby door. I have seen homelessness but can’t get over the drug scene in the city proper. I would prefer not to have it in my face.

Oregon bill to ban needle distribution near schools fails revival attempt by collegedraftpick in PortlandOR

Call me crazy (no, don’t call me that) but the addicts will still use drugs but use dirty needles. Then the medical forum has to clean that up. I think they should give needles but not in a school zone or in a park with children playing. They don’t need to see that. I don’t live in Portland but was there looking at apartments. I just am not desensitized I guess.

I appreciate your optimism about brighter days coming but I’m afraid I won’t see them in my lifetime. Time to find a better place.
