Rumor What's going on in Portland? (1 Viewer)

You ever hear about the owner of Ricksaw Charlie's and the husband of the Chief of Police at the time?

No, what happened?

The story behind Uncle Chen's and Chen's Dynasty is crazy too

 

[Shogun X]

I guess it was called Tuck Lung

Also, in the article was this guy from Fong Chong...I remember that dude.

Edit: this was actually Bill Naito who Naito Parkway named after. Thought that was the Fong Chong owner



I remember they used to have a tank with Geoduck and we'd order that. Dope stuff.

Because Californians with more money are moving here from bigger $hit holes.

Its not just the cost of high housing in Oregon but also the percentage of income to acquire one is I think is in the top two, Nation wide.
We know people that have relocated because they want to be able to acquire a home at a more affordable price.

So it’s not THAT bad then? If they can get away with such high rent, it must be a desirable place to live? Just asking.

Shit there are a few places I would consider moving to and as much as I love the PNW thats saying a lot. There’s a couple little sleepy towns south of SF we found on my daughters college visits that were amazing. Also, my aunt lives in Imperial Beach way down south….not a bad vibe down there either.

Housing prices as a percent of income are very high here and many young people are having a hard time affording rent or a mortgage.

Again, just looking at Portland, this seems way off to me.
