Looking to move to Portland and looking for an apartment in the NW and SE. I notice most apts. in the SE allow dogs, while many in the NW also allow dogs. I like dogs but would not live in building that allows them because I cannot stand the constant barking you often get when dogs are allowed, not to mention the fleas and smell they leave behind when they pee and poop in the apt. So why do so many apts. put dogs over humans. It’s pretty frustrating to see so many apts. that would be a good fit for me in the SE but I have to rule them out because they allow dogs. I guess I’ll have to stick with the NW which seems to be more for cat people. At least cats don’t bark all day. How many apts do we need that allow dogs ?
Like dogs, hate barking

You won’t find any part of Portland that isn’t a continual chorus of dogs … 24/7. The cocaphany is mitigated slightly in the suburbs by coyote song.
The city and county no longer attempt to regulate any of it. Animal control doesn’t act on barking dog complaints and the cops don’t/can’t intervene on noise issues unless the noise is mechanical in nature.
You best stay wherevyou are. Better still, tell your friends: Portlandia was fiction.
Dogs: I honestly can’t think of something so intrusive with so little payoff.
I don’t have a dog, but have to put up with them screaming next door, then setting off every dog in the neighborhood. I stepped it shit the other day. I got bit a month or two ago. And when eating outside with my lovely girlfriend a while ago, a dog pissed near our table, splattering our legs with piss.
I opt out on having a dog and I still have to live with the inconveniences that come with them.
Other people’s kids? At least they’ll pay taxes and are the perpetuation of the human species.
Traffic? I rely on goods and services that rely on roads.
But dogs…it’s being asked to sleep around the schedule of other people’s dogs, deal with smelling of dog piss, and the threat of getting attacked. In exchange I get fucking nothing. But somehow I’m the problem.
I guess I shoulda been blunt.
Stay the fuck where you are.
There ain’t no room and most of us don’t fucking want you here.
Those claiming otherwise merely want to get into your pants and take your money.
You will know this the moment you arrive with out-of-state plates.
We’ll wave at you.
With our middle finger.
Just stay the fuck away. You are not wanted.
LOL, Jesus this forum never fails. Dogs exist and bark and are about ten thousand times more tolerable than people. Dogs that behave badly do so because the people who own them fucking suck. I live in what was supposed to be a no dog building (on the coast) and at least 4 of the 12 units have one dog, one has two dogs. The only dogs ever heard barking are the ones with an inexperienced owner (she’s 85) who adopted them because their owner died during the pandemic. Our next door neighbor (not in our building), though? He is fucktard beyond all comprehension and his dog barks constantly because he does nothing about it (and since he got the dog as a puppy, doubtful the dog will ever be trained properly).
And then there’s the one person (at least) on here telling people not to move here because that TOTALLY works (that’s called sarcasm). More people are leaving Oregon than moving here and you can tell who they are given the top states they are moving to: Arizona, Texas, Florida, and Idaho. The influx of people from California isn’t going to stop (don’t believe me: see Seattle). It’d be easier to leave Oregon and take all of the “don’t move here!!!” crowd with you. There is more of a chance of people who hate people moving to Oregon being happier elsewhere than being successful in preventing people from moving here by telling them over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and not to move here because they’re not wanted. You may as well join the “we want to move the Idaho state line” freaks because neither of you will ever accomplish what you are trying to accomplish.
@Tovarich are you r, just r?
@Tovarich nevermind, I missed your first comment.

Hey Christina!
No, Tovarich, as the name implies, is far “friendlier” than I. I’m just do’n my part. Figure the OP needs to know what their getting into. It’s a cruel world out there. (Says the old guy being priced out of his home because of rising property taxes spurred on by the Californication of my neighborhood)
And dogs, lots of dogs.
signed,
I love dogs, have a couple of my own. But I wish people would clean up after their dogs, because I’m really tired of stepping in dog shit.
People’s thoughts on dogs reveals many things. I once had a co-worker who went crazy because he thought his family loved their dog more than him. It was probably true.
I fondly recall the Malibu Barbie crying to all who would listen, how unfair Portland is that she couldn’t drive her bmw up 26 in a snow storm because, you know, when was the last time it snowed in Malibu?
Who was going to pay for the damage the snow caused to her Christian Louboutin’s?
And the company, that towed her car from the center lane of 26 where she left it, wanted money?
And we laughed at the level of fucking stupid entitlement emanating from that vacuum posing as a brain. Never realizing that the dollars that paid for the boots and car and hair, also bought influence.
Until we awoke one morning to learn that, for the first time ever, ODOT and PBOT, despite a terribly fragile ecosystem, and despite a history of drivers either learning to drive in the snow or just stay home, was henceforth going to salt the roadways to accommodate these subliterates whose dollars also pay for the very things we abhor.
Slimy backroom politicians.
Thanks Kate. Thanks Ted. Thanks Barbie.
But who is going to stand between me, the “I know what is best for all of you” Ken & Barbie fresh from Malibu, and that mob of thugs yelling mean things at me – when that mob IS the police?
