Downtowns are crazy

For context I work in the Vancouver/PDX area, and boy howdy, it idk how you guys do it. Trying to navigate or find parking in downtown Portland is insane. my on time rating is taking a bit of a hit because I can’t find parking. I just did a delivery to a high school which I’m already not a fan of (it feels weird delivering food to a kid at school) and it took me 10 minutes to find parking and then find my way to the front.

Maybe I’m just too used to driving big open roads with lots of parking around. Anyone got any advice or stories of their own?
