'No Californians' stickers being slapped on For Sale signs in Portland

1900 for a 2 bedroom out here in LA is actually really really good. And that looks like a brand new construction, probably pretty safe in Portland.

And these are pretty shitty older buildings too.

What is happening is people are spending a larger and larger amount on their income on rent nowadays.

 

Well they're finally starting to build in Old Town/China Town where most of the homeless population is located. Eventually all of the social services will be pushed out of that area because the Pearl yuppies won't want to encourage homeless people to congregate in that area.

 

Yeah.. It's shameful... This is why I say that Government by the people should be ran for the people. Charity is not solving the problem.

 

#AboutDamnTime

 

12 years ago I worked at a body shop in the Pearl District. It was near a park and our lunch room was on the corner of the building and had mirrored glass on it. Yuppie chicks would stop jogging and adjust their running bras in the window most every day.

FREE PEEP SHOWS RULE

 

Well stated.

My Father spends winters in Sun City AZ, and every summer when he comes up to his summer home here in Oregon, he says the same thing "Its like watching a bunch of poor people trying to make money off of other poor people"

Oregons econemy has never been that great even when nation wide it was booming. The only area that has held its own in Portland.

 

Intel and the rest of Silicon Forrest helps

Portland isn't nearly as bad compared to most of California still where the income: housing prices are way off.

Median Housing Price in Portland = $314k
Income needed to afford that house = $65k

 

Intel is great, but what if you're not a tech person? We have 70k+ move here every year. They don't all work for Intel. Maybe we'll just be a city comprised entirely of micro brews, foodcarts, coffee houses, and pot dispensaries.

 

We have the spotted owl to thank for single handedly taking down the lumber industry..the US Navy tried to get a contract with Coos Bay for use of it's port, the best port on the West Coast in some's opinions. Locals lobbied against it.

 

#L*kersLivesMatter ??

 

No

 

The purists annoy the hell outta me.

The population boom, a lot of them from California, are the reason for the transformation of the Pearl/Lloyd and now Central Eastside.

The problem aren't hardworking/employed Californians - it's the streetkids from all over the U.S. who don't leave.

 

Let the Hipsters claim they were in Portland before it was cool

 

What's the difference between Californians and the majority of Oregonians anymore? Both groups are usually smug assholes.

 

not even close. SoCal people are such assholes, I'm actually a nice guy here.

Oregon drivers are also slow as fuck while Cali drivers are super crazy.

 

Gonna have to agree with you. The attitude in California is bad.

 

thats why i just bought a house, mortgage was cheaper than average rent.

 

The housing prices and apartment rates in the Portland metro area are becoming ridiculous. And I am sure a lot of my friends paying much more than 30 percent of their salary just to keep a roof over their heads. With only about 35 percent of college graduates even getting employment, just what kind of future do new residents see for themselves? It's kind of depressing, really.
