Portland was beautiful until everyone moved here

Every out of stater who moved here and devastated Portland's housing market, infrastructure & resources are more than welcome to leave. It would go a long way to fix the problems plaguing Portland - just a few short years ago Portland was beautiful, much more affordable , cleaner, safer and friendlier but then everyone just kept moving here untealistically expecting a fairly small city that was already grappling with dearth of resources & pushed it all over the top. Fact is all of you people who had to move here gentrified what affordable housing Portland had and it's you people that complain and criticize but also happen to be the people who created all the garbage, homelessness and violence! You've driven housing costs sky high and stressed every resource to its breaking point and have the nerve to complain about how crappy it is now and none of you seem to correlate it with the massive influx of people like you who came in droves and wrecked it. Yes, people will be angry reading this but every native Oregonian like myself knows this true. Liberals aren't to blame, transplants are. Time to put up the sign instructing people from out of state that they are welcome to visit and go home !
