No. 8 Oregon Ducks It's the first game of the season, but the No. 3 team in the country isn't supposed to struggle like this. What made Oregon's hard-earned 24-14 win over FCS opponent Idaho -- at home, no less -- even more confounding is that it gained 487 yards on offense, held its opponents to just 217 total yards, had 31 first downs and only one turnover, and held the ball for nearly 40 minutes of game time. So, how did the Oregon end up with only 24 points? In short, the Ducks were sloppy. The offensive line was a sieve, allowing three sacks, accounting for seven of Oregon's eight penalties that cost it 60 yards and stalled a handful of promising drives. Oregon appeared to move the ball at will, and Oklahoma transfer quarterback Dillon Gabriel debuted for the Ducks with 380 yards and 7.8 yards per pass, as well as two touchdowns, but he also had a fumble and threw the ball 49 times. Gabriel completed 41 of those 49 passes, but the balance between him and the running game didn't look to be quite established as the Ducks barely crossed 100 yards rushing as a team. Even though the defense looked close to midseason form, to say there's room for improvement for Dan Lanning's team would be an understatement as it heads into much tougher matchups. -- Paolo Uggetti
It's corporations owning single family housing, and especially foreign corporations. But it's absurd how much apartments cost now. My buddy was paying something like $900 a month for two bedrooms in Sherwood back in like 2008. It's at least double that now.
Hahaha heard that so many times. I do pay dues. It’s $41 a month. I like to compare it to non union dues. What are non union dues you ask? Well thats the 40K less I would make a year if I were not union.

probably not connected legally however well hidden they are under layers of ownership flow charts but certainly connected by motivation and mission. Sharks in bloody water. Hedge funds & capital management firms with billions in cash looking for high yield opportunities, not caring at all about any long term damage they cause. That's not new capitalism obviously; pools of investors looking for unregulated markets to exploit has happened for decades this 'scheming' seems pretty simple: find an area with low to average home values and low to average rental prices. Gain the necessary market share thru collusion to control prices. Then jack up rents for the quick return portion on investment. Higher rents yield escalating home values which in turn, feeds even higher rents and home values. Then cash out on the artificially bloated home value before the inevitable crash. And use the billions made to buy yachts, 3rd homes, art, and blood diamonds while bribing politicians and looking for some other saps to fuck over
