Same. I went to Portland in 2022 for Railsconf. Me and my wife both went thinking to visit the city a bit before/after the conference. It was awful. Downtown was mostly boarded up and did not feel safe at all. Chicago, Philly, Baltimore, Detroit, any of these "violent" cities unironically feel safer and I would rather be in that portland.
