Review of Portland, Oregon


don't move here
Star Rating - 5/9/2007
I have lived in Portland for 14 years. You don't want to move here, the traffic is terrible, Californians are moving here by the droves and bringing their bad attitudes, selfishness, uppity behaviors, reckless driving habits, lack of respect for the envirionment, and all-over toxicity. Home prices have shot through the roof because Californians are willing to pay anything for the homes here. The Californians say they come here to "get away from it all" yet they demand the same lousy strip-malls and fast-food joints that they had in California. When it isn't raining, and that is not often, one tries to get out into nature yet every yahoo from different states brings their 40 foot motor home with a generator to our parks/recreation areas destroying our wilderness experience. And they demand development in pristine areas so they can drive their fat lazy as#@ into the wilderness instead of hiking there; so their spoiled self can sleep between 400 count silk sheets. I'm going to move to Montana!
