    dude, the entire valley is on fire, home-sale wise. Just sold our wine country house for double what we paid for it 5.5 years ago. Didn’t put it on the market, talked to an agent that brought us a serious buyer when we weren’t even sure we were gonna sell. Had to move about 0.8 miles from the main street of restaurants out here which kinda sucked, but the amount of money we made AND the amount of bills we’re avoiding by getting out of an old house was simply too much to pass up. Bought at the right time, interest rate-wise. And now we have funds to do the fun projects and things we want to do to our Hawaii house.

    Both are crime-infested and excrement-riddled like Portland, but with better street musicians.

    I wouldn’t go to either city for a few days, but Memphis is safe now that HCP is gone. Give NO another day or two though….

    Every place has it's good and it's bad. Sure, Portland has great attributes, and believe it or not so does La Pine. Are there problems in both places, yeah.

    There is a lot of hate for something just because of a geographic location. Is Memphis a shithole? Sure. But they have some great barbeque.

    Let's make another thread about how great the city of Portland is, then merge it with this thread in a couple years. That would probably be a better representation of how bipolar Oregon is.

    I think Portland might be too colorful for people in Lapine.

    Why would people want to pay so much extra just to live in such a horrible city?

    Honestly you’d assume people would be packing up and leaving.
