Look, I'm glad that people are moving here.  I'm glad that I'm from a place that is attractive to people.  The alternative is grim, and I'd rather not live through 80s Portland again.

That being said, population growth leads to displacement when homevoters and general nativist sentiment keeps housing from being built at a rate that can accommodate all these new people.  We NEED to build more housing, but resistance to this housing will only get worse if this dude is the poster child for the people moving here.

Martin, you have an obligation to your readers to profile some newbies that don't have parents ponying up for their condos.  There has to be someone other than popcollars, trustafarians, and culture tourists you can give a platform to.

Less of this kind of dude, and more like the "Newest Portlanders" article from last year please.
