PORTLAND, Ore. — For sale signs line what were once sought-after neighborhoods in North Portland. Many families are selling their homes due to an increase in violence and homeless camps in that area.
“It makes you not feel that great about living here,” said Greg Dilkes, who has lived in North Portland for 30 years. “It makes living in the neighborhood harder, not as congenial as it could be.”
Dilkes said the homeless camps along the Peninsula Crossing Trail near his home have changed the area.
“It’s the first time in a long time that we’ve actually seriously thought about moving,” he said.
