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

Maybe we'll just be a city comprised entirely of micro brews, foodcarts, coffee houses, and pot dispensaries.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

We make a lot of money and we spend a lot of money

Just don't let them move to seattle. I already have to pay a fortune for housing.

You live in the wrong part of SoCal...

Honestly, there are shitheads everywhere. There were shitheads when I lived in NYC, there were plenty when I lived in Portland, there were a lot in Marin county in NorCal and there are enough in the San Diego area.

There is not that much difference between people in Oregon and people in SoCal, except from the tan and the ability to drive like you are under 80.

There's a HUGE difference between socal people and oregon people. Sure, there might not be much difference between some assholes in a nice Lake Oswego Neighborhood and some rich orange county suburb, but overall, Californians are selfish assholes. Oregonians are WAY nicer.

You are just trying to butter us up so that we'll let you move back someday. It won't work.

I have a plan.

Move to the Pearl, be a total asshole for a few years. Complain how Oregonians are slow and everything is boring.
A few years later I'll complain about how the Pearl district is over-run with assholes from California and everything is corporate.
Move Eastside for a year or two and tell my neighbors that it was to get away from the commercialization, gentrification and Californians moving in.
Then move somewhere to the burbs in NW/SW Portland/Lake Oswego/West Linn and use crappy schools and seedy characters everywhere on the Eastside as my excuse.
Then move to Orange County or San Diego, complaining how Oregon is boring as fuck and there's no culture or anything to do and its raining all the time and depressing.

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

Yes, over half of them are.

 

[MarAzul]

Really? How many New Yorkers own cars?

As I recall, nearly everyone in Kingston, Poughkeepsie, or Binghamton New York drove cars. Not sure about Albany, never been there.

How do you feel about purist street kids?

Californians moving to Oregon is just white flight.

My theory on this is as follows:

1. White Californians move to Oregon to get away from the Mexicans. The prevailing thought is schools and communities have gone to shit, people can't speak english, everything is turning 3rd world, etc.

2. Those that do move to Oregon are priced out of California's wealthier areas where Mexicans are priced out. So they go to Oregon to get away from Mexicans and they can buy a house on a middle class income salary.

3. The type of person that would move out of state to get away from Mexicans would be kind of a dick or at a minimum, a douchebag.

4. So these dicks/douchebags move to Oregon and say they are from California and are annoying, and people assume all Californians are like this (partially true still).

I'm doing my part though, I did order this shirt and will wear it around LA.

The average Californian is far more materialistic than the average Oregonian.
The average Oregonian is far more passive aggressive than the average Californian.

Californians are in a constant race to earn more money to buy more stuff.
Oregonians are in a constant war to stop as much progress as possible, and will get in anyone’s way that is trying to pass them up.

Californians believe being unequal is a form of freedom that is necessary to escape slavery.
Oregonians would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom.

You make a valid point about Oregonian vs. Portlander.

But how do you explain the Eugenemaniacs?

College cities tend to swing that way. I mean look at Austin, they're in the middle of Texas and it's basically Portland-lite.

Some black family is gonna change their name to Californian and you guys are gonna have your hands full with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson
