    Why didn't they grow rich people at the farm? Poor people seems like a waste.

    Well, that's just silly. Everyone understands that "poor" is a description of the farm itself. It just wasn't very fertile.

    Contrast that with the County Productive Farm, a few miles south.

    One thing that’s lost in this discussion is that the Portland Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Portland and the surrounding suburbs, is still growing at an annual rate of 1.05 %. That would tend to indicate that it’s not the traffic, but other factors driving the decline in Portland’s population.
