About the only thing worse would be to go to some of the strip clubs in NE!  

And that's based just on OLive news reports of the shootings and homicides over the past few years.

"As of mid-December, police logged 155 gang-related shootings or assaults this year, down from 181 at the same time the year before. Gang violence calls in 2015 represented the highest annual number in Portland since police began tracking them in 1998."
