I love how Portland natives all agree with me . But random people who move here just to turn it into san fran are the ones voting me down . More down votes please ! !!! Ill take one for my homeland . People don ' t seem to understand that by not just visiting and moving here you are destroying the culture and it ' s uniqueness . Black people keep getting shoved further and further out only to be replaced by a boutique doughnut shop that sells a glazed for $ 3 . Thank god for the Porn house on division hasn ' t sold . need a blight on the street for the new yuppies who are on their way to the salt and straw . Not everyone can move to the rain forest and expect it to still be a rain forest . Already hundreds of great houses are being destroyed only to be replaced by condos . to make room for the new comers . Rent has skyrocketed mine tripled in 3 12 years . The city is considering raising the height restrictions on buildings . Before you know it all the people who are moving here now will not be able to afford it . Then we will see them making comments like mine . The last part is not my opinion but something I have witnessed many times over . I feel like you should do time elsewhere in Oregon to earn your way to Portland Similar to how a lot of people gain citizenship . They have to go to under served areas first .
