Review of Portla,


Gentrification
Star Rating - 2/26/2017
There is a deliberate gentrification of Portland going on. While that may sound wonderful to the wealthy and well fed, its having profound affects on those who are not. Soon Portland will be in that quandary of all gentrified cities where they can't get cheap labor locally to take out their trash and clean their windows. I find this to be an ethical dilemma on part of those running government, but if that kind of thing doesn't concern you its a very pretty city. If you are concerned about a high cost of living to wages ratio then be prepared to live out in the booneys and commute long distances for wages that barely cover your living expenses, and lots of competition for it.
