A look at Eugene Oregon on the edge of total economic collapse. The only thing that pays is crime. All the timber mills are shutting down. Some people see martial law as the only way to restore order. Police are overwhelmed.

  • courtside did not close its doors "a few days ago" as you stated. they closed in the summer. I used to get my rackets strung there but had to switch this past summer because they were closed. makes me question everything else you say.

  • so when was summer to you i made this in December. I see even today March it is still vacant

  • I love how morons like yourself take a few examples of stores closing, empty houses and paint a broad brush and call it an economic collapse. How do you define an economic collapse? Is it unemployment of 10%? Guess what the entire country is in the same boat. Truth is we're spoiled. Try living in South America, southeast Asia, or the middle east and try inflation/deflation in 20% swings, almost entire countries living in poverty, etc. We don't have it that bad.

  • god bless Eugene

  • Saw this video...ignored it. Moved to Eugene and started a business anyway. It has been a year now and we have surpassed our monthly goals. I did this with poor business sense. Using Eugene's amazing public library and free score cousellors I found that I was only at 25% capacity due to inefficiency.While all the hobos protest and shit in the park I work and build. I'm a redneck,hate hippies and it doens't matter because I provide value. Suck my infected cock losers!

    America is beautiful.

    AND MY PASSPORT WAS FREE NIGGA.

  • The only things left on earth will be crackheads and cockroaches-just ask any cop.

  • u made eugene look like a crack head ghetto ghost town

  • Id rather be broke in Eugene than a rich man in Texas.

  • Hmm, this scene is a lot like San Francisco back when the .commies all dried up and blew away along with their beloved Bill Clinton's"New Economy". Well, this is what you get with a state that is run by anti business leadership. Just make someone else pay until they find someone else to go,just to get away from you.

    Hopefully given time, the people of Eugene will be able to rebuild a sustainable local economy and have one that works for them instead of all of this International Trade BS.

  • Riots and crime?...hahaha you pussy i hope you dont live here.. Eugene is a beautiful thriving city.. the only reason companies who retail stupid shit we dont need are going under is because finally the people of this nation are waking up

  • Hi, i'm from Barcelona. I did a road trip from Vancouver (Canada) to San Francisco > Las Vegas with some friends, and we still remember Oregon. We thought it would be the state between the objectives, but the better state we remember is Oregon, maybe because the people "politeness" is so similar to Catalonia. We were in 2007 summer. After watching the video i hope this is some kind of support to you.

    P.S. I hope you understand what i tried to say, my english is bad.
