Yes, I'm frequently in Portland. Services are clustered in the bridge area of Burnside and one freely can walk around the city w/out feeling at risk. "Smelly males" isn't "my" issue.

You and your relative John may also consider the study from a national group that found Eugene's situation unique. Unique in a country of 305 million. Not exactly a bragging point, is it?
