You don't know the half of it
Once we left Portland, we didn't see any homeless, no tents on city sidewalks, no graffiti (except for the ubiquitous rail car graffitis). Just clean, well run cities. Some places weren't the wealthiest places, but they are full of hard working people.
Started to get the creepy crawlies driving back into PDX along I-84: traffic, tents, mountains of garbage, graffiti, boarded up businesses. Used to be a beautiful city.
I told the wife to pay attention to every place we visit. Ask one question: Could we live here?
