Wait...aren't Californians a protected class?

 

[Natebishop3]

Those fools... Californians aren't even our problem anymore. I miss the days of seeing a Cali plate.

It's all these damn east coasters moving directly to Portland. The hipsters are ruining our city

Case in point "Irvine eventually sold the house where the sticker appeared for $450,000 – to a man from New York, he said."

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

New York isn't any better, but Damn do I hate Californians

At least New Yorker's know how to drive in rain and snow.

Good! And only rent them to people who can actually name a player on the 1996 Trail Blazers roster.

Done! And we shall lord the properties over the heads of the wannabe hipsters who can only give you the names of the current Timbers roster.

As long as you don't charge $1900+ per month I'm fine with you renting to whoever. Gentrification is a MF

Unfortunately gentrification is a side effect of the urban growth boundary. There's not enough new development and the inventory of houses on the market is at a 10 year low. Things are getting crazy out there.

Bro I don't even know White people that can afford 1900 per.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Can't wait to move back! :MARIS61:

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Just wait until interest rates go up and the economy tanks, these houses will all be in foreclosure and short sales.

I sure as hell couldn't... The part that I don't understand is how does our economy hope to sustain these prices? This isn't Seattle (Boeing, Microsoft) or the Bay area (Google, Silicon Valley). This isn't New York or LA. We don't have shit for jobs here. Outside of Intel and Nike, where is all this money coming from? We have a ton of young, educated, hungry people moving here and for what? I don't see how our economy is going to support these prices.

Bro.. This is right across from the school I went to in 2nd-3rd grade. It's RIGHT kitty corner from the Welfare office...

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.

Downtown Santa Monica is still the most expensive place to rent in Los Angeles, and the rents keep shooting up: one-bedrooms were 3.3 percent more expensive in April than in March and up 10.7 percent for the quarter, to $3,100. Marina del Rey one-bedrooms are up to $2,600, Venice one-bedrooms are up to $2,580, and LAX-adjacentWestchester/Playa del Rey (which includes the Playa Vista planned community and tech hub) really is gentrifying, with one-bedrooms up a whopping 15.2 percent to $2,120 (that was higher than Beverly Hills at $2,100).

Downtown, on the other hand, dropped four spots on the top 30 list, to number 10, with one-bedroom rents falling 4.6 percent, to $2,270.

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.

[bodyman5000 and 1]

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.

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.
