Review of Portland, Oregon


ANTI-CALIFORNIA
Star Rating - 1/14/2007
OUR EXPERIENCE WAS NOT VERY POSITIVE IN PORTLAND , OR ANY OTHER PART OF OREGON. WE MET MANY PEOPLE THAT RESENTED PEOPLE FROM CALIFORNIA. WE COULD NOT WAIT TO GET BACK TO CALIFORNIA. WE DO NOT CARE FOR NARROW-MINDED PEOPLE. WE MET SOME NICE PEOPLE AT WORK AND SCHOOL ,BUT ALL IN ALL THE GENERAL ATTITUDE IS THAT CALIFORNIANS ARE TAKE OVER THEIR REAL ESTATE MARKET AND THEY RESENT IT. IT IS A FREE COUNTRY IS ALL I CAN SAY AND A PERSON CAN BUY REAL ESTATE WHERE THEY WANT TO. THEIR CLOSE MINDEDNESS JUST DID NOT WORK FOR US AND WE ARE GLAD WE LEFT AFTER 1 YEAR.

The reason why there is an "ANTI-CALIFORNIA" vibe is because we see people come from California and try to change the area and make it mini-California. Honestly, if Californians were all about moving to the Northwest and respecting the beauty and quality of life it has to offer, people would be more friendly. However, we see Californians come in cut down trees and completely disrespect the people that have lived here for generations. We're not being close minded, we're protecting what we have. CALIFORNIA's economy and quality of life is in the tank, we don't want those people coming to the NORTHWEST and doing the same thing. Bottom line we're good people trying to protect our heritage, vales and not wanting to conform to the big state of California.
