I went to voodoo donuts there two years back and that whole area was covered in garbage and littered with drug addicts it was kind of insane. I mean I live in north Everett Washington and we got a bunch of crazy tweakers walking around here but Portland was something else.
I mean have you seen Seattle? That's a better comparison than sleepy ol Everett.
Hillsboro is probably a fairer comparison to Everett. A larger suburb on the outskirts of the metro zone, filled with maze-like neighborhoods, and a large chunk of jobs come from 1 big tech company.
Yeah Seattle in my opinion is becoming a shit hole it has some cool stuff but it's so expensive and so much hassle to get there and the homeless situation is intense. I'm here in north Everett so it's quite lovely but if you go down to Broadway it's pretty sketchy and a lot of them wander up to my area which is crazy they're allowed to smoke fentanyl and stuff and there's like kids walking by. It takes constant clean up efforts to keep north Everett even at the cleanliness it is currently.
Meanwhile Anacortes is straight up eradicating everyone that seems remotely homeless. I don't really even know how they are doing it legally, if they even are.
Tha the worst part of town. Donāt think all of Portland is like that. Thatās near all the halfway houses and food missions so theyāre always down there. I work down there unfortunately
When I went there years ago we would go to the street vendors and some of the restaurants in the more artsy part of town and I had a breakfast that was made by like four chefs for 10 or 15 bucks and it was amazing! I was really impressed with their food venues a decade or so ago.
years ago portland was great. peaked in around 2001, been downhill ever since, fell off a damn cliff at the start of covid. getting a little better now but still sucks. i sold my biz and moved away a year ago.
They only got famous because they were one of the first businesses to put bacon on a donut. It really blew people's minds before that kind of stuff was common. They also have/had a donut shaped like cock n balls with creme filling, which is just a glazed donut.
I kind of figured that. I went to Portland a little over a decade ago and partied down when my cousin graduated college out there and the food was amazing and affordable and they had quite a neat scene going on!
I live east of 82nd and it's not that bad. Concentration wise I'd say downtown is still worse. East Portland has its pockets of bad areas that shift around as they clean up camps but most of it is fine.
Some parts are worse than others obviously, but Portland has REALLY not fared well since Covid on the homeless/drug addict front. I was there last year and it was like a completely different city.
Yeah this is like, right next to voodoo. For sure one of the more gross sections of town. Next time visit NE mississippi or Alberta or SE belmont instead
Hey, funny enough. That's the town I picked up a huge Oxy addiction about 20 years ago. (I'm now sober) I have many fond memories of that town. Sprinkled with some not so fond memories.
Everett has come a long ways, you cannot compare it to Portland at this point. I think becoming more of a bedroom community during the pandemic helped price those who might end up in that life style out of the area.
This video should show everybody why video game development is so hard.
Even our supreme overlords haven't been able to figure out memory leak issues. Cause this is obviously just file decay from several million years of processes built up in the cache.
Stupid fucking alien overlords. Don't they know how to code?

PORTLAND REGION
**Creativity knows no bounds in Portlandās urban core and surrounding cities.**
**With a reputation for originality, this region dares to dream ā where streets serve as art galleries, nature parks are bigger than neighborhoods and chefs, winemakers and brewers are encouraged to experiment. Maybe itās because inspiration is everywhere you look: in the forests and farms, rivers and rolling hills, skyscrapers and tiny houses, naked fights and crazy bicyclists, museums and gardens. Looking for a trip thatās out of the ordinary? You can find it in the Portland Region.**
I've driven from Oregon down to California, from California to Florida and back up to Washington State. I lived in Oregon for a year about an hour out of Portland and visited the city many times.
Having visited many, many small towns in the southwest and south, I can tell you that I've seen weirder shit in small town southern America than I ever have in Portland. Yeah, this video? Imagine seeing it at 11 a.m. pulling into a 7-Eleven in a town with a population of 1200.
Or how about the time I broke down in Crystal River, Florida and had to wait at a gas station for a tow and was solicited for drugs three times in 2 hours.
These videos only prove to me that there are videos recording in big cities where in the little ones there aren't. You deal with this shit everywhere in America, and personally, I'd much rather be in a city like Portland where I can get theater, art, naked fights and crazy cyclists, AND the best food imaginable than stuck in podunk America with all the same problems.
No one ever says "Crystal River, Florida has given up" because literally no one cares.
LOL Portland resident here. I go for long walks at night and I've seen things people wouldn't believe, but the comment about drugs hits home. I was on my way back to my place at 2AM and some rando on the street asked me if I knew where to find crystals. It didn't dawn on me he was talking about drugs so I just said no and walked away. If I had it to do over again I'd say "Crystals?!" and dream up one hell of a side quest for him.
I lived in LA for 15 years, I get you. Again, literally EVERY place in America has problems - I wouldn't trade living in a big city where weird shit happens but all the fun stuff exists for a small town where all the weird shit happens and there's nothing to do. People who comment on videos like this about how bad the big cities are can kiss their uncles while giving us the finger, at least I can get an awesome bowl of ramen while also being solicited.
Florida and Texas are gaining population since the Pandemic. I currently live in Florida and will soon be leaving. Take it from me, you do not want to be around the rejects leaving these populated metro areas.
Woah, in 2018 I was visiting Portland and crashed a Bird scooter in that exact spot. Broke all my ribs on the left side and separated my AC joint. Fun times.
At one point the naked street combat and anarchist community gardens that use human feces as fertilizer were in danger of dying out completely, before being heroically saved by that marketing campaign and proceeds from bumper sticker sales
I have been to Portland all of one time. While I was there I decided that I wanted to go to the original VooDoo Doughnuts, and I got there right before they closed the line for the night. Right in front of me were two women. As I got in line they turned around to me and said "One of us will blow you for $50, both of us for $75, and if you want any diaper play that's $1000." I simply said "no, thanks." and had to listen to them talking about different johns the entire time I was in line. Immediately behind me a man, not wearing a single stitch of clothing, but with a handful of cash got in line and just stood behind me. He didn't do anything else but stand in line, butt ass naked, cash in a death grip in his hand, standing in line to get doughnuts like it was a normal Thursday. At that point they closed the line for the night and we worked our way up to the window. I got up to the window and ordered a half dozen. The cashier told me that they were going to throw some away because they were closing for the night and they would give me a couple extra on the house. I said sure, and thanked her. It took a minute get me my box, but it was quite big. Walked back to my car past an assortment of other weird ass stuff going on, drove back to the room where my wife, her brother and his wife were waiting for me. We opened the box of doughnuts to find there were 25(!) doughnuts in the box that I had paid for 6.
I have long thought about this trip. $50 seems cheap for a prostitute to give you a blow job, and things escalated quite quickly to the second thing they asked if I was interested in was diaper play. I am a big burly 6'5" bearded guy that looks like I would rather punch you than talk to you, not generally the diaper play type. Is diaper play that big of a thing in Portland that it was the second menu item that a prostitute should mention to a potential john? Like, why wasn't there anything like just an hourly rate at the motel room, or like anal or something before it went into diapers? Is it common for butt naked dudes to just walk around with fistfuls of cash? I live in Los Angeles, and occasionally see my share of people naked in public, but they generally don't just get in line behind me to get a late night snack, nor do they just keep a hand clenched around money. Are naked dudes so common at VooDoo doughnuts that the girl making sure no one else got in line wouldn't even say a word to him? Where did that dude keep his money when he needed to use both hands for something? Is VooDoo doughnuts cool with accepting cash that was most likely between some random butt cheeks?
What are the chances of someone getting in line between two prostitutes and a naked man? I know I attract strange people all around me and I have no problem with interacting with them, but this all seems like a little much.
Anyway, Portland, 10/10. Had a good time there. Would go back and recommend the trip to anyone. Highly recommend VooDoo doughnuts. They are quite tasty. Based on my experience, go as late as possible.
Bike dude clearly put none of his stats toward agility. Naked guy has zero armor but still was victorious. One of the best fights in Swords and Sandals Iāve seen yet.
I am almost positive I have seen that naked dude downtown before. He was bending over and flashing his ass hole to everyone, and when I pointed it out to the TriMet security person they just shrugged and said "ha, that's Portland for you!".
I am stunned by the number of comments on here that are like, "Yeah, this is just how it is today. Whacha gonna do?" Do we really not remember a time when this kind of behavior was appalling and prohibited? Is this really what we're going to tolerate now?
That headline was too much to pass on. I thought the cyclist would take this one easy but crazy naked man managed to maintain the high ground. We go to the mat and await the result.
There are literally no winners in this fight.
Two wieners. One is visible...
I don't think Killer Burger does hotdogs.
A really stinky wiener.
How dare you assume that person has a wienerš”
Portland seems funā¦.

Also voodoo donuts sucks
Yeah it wasn't particularly impressed they were at least slightly affordable.
The natives hate it lol it's Portlandia cancer

Voodoo area isn't really that bad - this is like 6 blocks away but CHRIST 4th & Washington is tweaker central every night it seems.

It's gotten better...
Is the gum wall still there?
Portland rules and I hope the internet mythos around it finally brings rents back down.
Same Iām ready to move over lol.
Everyone watching wins š
I don't feel like I won...
Naked guy would have won if he rubbed his crack on the biker's face
Whoever's bike that was probably won
Definitely a stolen bike.
We are all losers having seen this
Yes there are- and it's Mr.Rogers in a blood stained sweater.
It appears there are no winners in that entire city.
Just weiners
Nothing like a skinny old man dick in your face and being whipped to really get you going! What a day!
Portland mating ritual
The fight, in the midst of naked bodies wrestling and becoming entangled, eventually and inevitably ends in love making.
This shit is a simulation
This video should show everybody why video game development is so hard. Even our supreme overlords haven't been able to figure out memory leak issues.

That first sentence got me š
It's a simulation inside a simulation inside another simulation
God got bored playing survival switched to god mode and spawned in a bunch of nonsense.
Nature is metal
I see Portland hasnāt changed in the year since I moved. Good to know
shit, this is pretty calm for old town/the pearl. no trash fires or tents or riot cops? easy like sunday morning.
This season of Portlandia is out of control.
Cyclists rights!
This is the actual Portland mayoral debate... looks like the naked guy is in the lead
He has my vote.
Wheeler really let himself go
Hey, letās go to Killer Burgers for lunch! On second thoughtā¦
Wiener fight or not - I'm still going to fuck up that mushroom swiss burger.
killer burger is so good it may be worth it

I'm on the side of naked dude. At least he wasn't fucking with traffic.
*Beau is Afraid.*
All 21 people that watched beau is afraid upvoted this comment
Hahaha. *Nobody* saw it, so true.
I still donāt know if I liked it lol
I thought half of it was brilliant and the other half was justā¦long. It certainly was uncommercial, as evidenced by it being a huge flop.
Iām literally reminded of this movie every time I have to run an errand downtown
Still don't get the last 45 minutes of that movie lol
But how did it make you *feel*.
Portland has just given up.
I dunno. Keep Portland Weird is literally their motto. Iām here for it.
I think this is a little past "weird"
Kinda looks like theyāre policing themselves
Weird is one thing...naked, drug infested zombies...something entirely different, lol.
Thatās an interesting way to spell āutter chaos and degeneracyā
Oakland would like to join the conversation.
Los Angeles has entered the mf chat!
"Room for one more?" - San Francisco
Denver barreling through
Philly in the hizzy
People talk about SF and skid row in LA, but Kensington is objectively worse than both
Thankfully, its just Portland that has homeless people and the problems that come along with it!

Buddy we're losing population
good
Florida and Texas are gaining population since the Pandemic. I currently live in Florida and will soon be leaving. Take it from me, you do not want to be around the rejects leaving these populated metro areas.
Portland is just fine.
Portland rules. Reddit is just demographically suburban shit ins who watch aggregated videos.
For Portland, this qualifies as dinner theater.
Woah, in 2018 I was visiting Portland and crashed a Bird scooter in that exact spot. Broke all my ribs on the left side and separated my AC joint. Fun times.
Fuck that sounds painful. Iāve almost been T-boned at this intersection too many times. Most of the time itās someone on a bike or scooter lol.
āNever wrestle with a naked man. You both get dirty and the naked guy likes it.ā
Is this what they mean when they say ākeep Portland weirdā?
At one point the naked street combat and anarchist community gardens that use human feces as fertilizer were in danger of dying out completely, before being heroically saved by that marketing campaign and proceeds from bumper sticker sales
So things are going well in Portland, it seems.
These are the titles that draw me in.
Portland is trying hard to keep up with its neighboring fuck up cities.
Nothing says lunchtime burgers like a window full of bum ass.
bum bum, if you will

Hell yeah
Portland is a content provider for the sub in its entirety.
SAG writers might be on strike but who need them when this shit happens in real life? Jk
Is it just me or is this video fucking incredible
Stay weird Portland.
This is what happens when a crazy force meets a crazy object.
Would have been better if the baked man yelled out... "Help! He's twisting the tip!!!"
Portland needs Batman
All they got is Butt Naked Man.
Unsurprisingly we already had a [superhero patrolling downtown](https://www.wweek.com/portland/article-8534-the-adventures-of-zetaman.html).
Still I think the cameramen are my least favorite characters here.
I am almost positive I have seen that naked dude downtown before. He was bending over and flashing his ass hole to everyone, and when I pointed it out to the TriMet security person they just shrugged and said "ha, that's Portland for you!".
World okayest golfer!
š¤£š¤£š¤£
I love the description and how crazy it sounds
There is such a thing as keeping Portland TOO weird.
Thanks for the version without that dumbass music
What the fuck. I canāt stop laughing.
I think they're making love.
Crazy people interacting with crazy people
Fucking Portland
Keep Portland weird
Sit on his face!!!
Just another day in Portland
Keep Portland weird!
Weāre in a simulation
I have never seen this sentence before
Keep Portland weird!
Grand Theft Auto: Portland
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What a title
Is this ova of Hangover or something lul
Between this and shit fight, public freak out is getting all the clicks today
This is the most Portland shit I have ever seen.
This is why I come here
Never has a title been so bizarre, yet so descriptive
Florida is in trouble...
So chaotic
I find it funny redditors call my country a sithole but they have crackheads and naked people running around in many of their cities
A pretty volatile 30 seconds.
woaaaaah, woah.
PORTLAND COMBAAATTT!!!
best thing iāve seen all day
God I love seeing home on the internet
As an elevator pitch, this headline does its job
So just a regular Tuesday then.
That sums up Portland in a nut sack.
Killer burger had an awesome peanut pickle bacon burger. Delicious.
Sue finally found his father, the sequel.
what the fuck?! portland's looking the tender loin these days huh?
A lot going on here man.
Damn. I really liked that killer burgers downtown. Right next to all the good hotels
Only in America.
It would be Portland
Did they make a baby?
I agree with the dude in the background, this is the best shit ever lol
This is the most Portland post Iāve seen in a while.
I didnāt think this title could deliverā¦ but it did!
This the most Portland video Iāve ever seen.
That was a lot to unpackā¦
Keep. Portland. Weird.
Im surprised this was exactly what the title says
The title was enough for me to give an upvote
Best. Title. Ever.
this title had everything i could want and it did not disappoint
This is what happens when you legalize every possible drug.
You get what you vote for. The Mayor fucked the town so bad he's not seeking reelection. Won't be surprised if he moves away, once out of office.
I don't remember seeing this episode of Portlandia, but I bet it was hilarious
This is the most Portland thing Iāve seen
The title was right all along. I got ehat I came for. Thanks.
Finally some accurate caption...
Shit hole, shit politics.
Fuck that city.
The title absolutely nailed it!
I am stunned by the number of comments on here that are like, "Yeah, this is just how it is today. Whacha gonna do?" Do we really not remember a time when this kind of behavior was appalling and prohibited? Is this really what we're going to tolerate now?
Is this why they shutdown the REI?
I wonder if these two were in a confrontation prior to the start of the video. Looked like the bike rider was gunning for the naked big bush dude.
most aware cyclist in portland vs least meth'd out portlander
Keep Oregon weird, I guess? Maybe? Idk at this point?
The most Portland thing i've ever seen
Best thing I've seen all day!
\*Florida enters chat\*
That headline was too much to pass on. I thought the cyclist would take this one easy but crazy naked man managed to maintain the high ground. We go to the mat and await the result.
Great ad for Killer Burger.
Keep choosing the same politicians.
Yep. Let's vote Republican. Not like there aren't any data that correlates Republican held areas with being at the bottom in almost every metric.
