Yet. They think they have the right to force me to live next door to 3rd world, Muslim migrants.
(and...to pay for it)
Acid bath.
Did Nike start out in Oregon? Prefontaine was from out there. One would think Addidas would not be so much as welcomed out there.
I don’t know Preston Page’s politics, but I am going to go out on a limb and surmise that he is a run-of-the-mill lefty Californian. You know the kind. “Power to the people but keep off my lawn”.
Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.
There's an upside and a downside to gentrification, as I see it, When people like this exec move in, they are more likely to preserve the original look of the house, and to keep these beautiful old neighborhoods intact.
I would rather see this kind of gentrification than see the area bought up by developers ... who knock down old housing stock and slap up cheaply built apartments or McMansions.
On the downside, it's disheartening to local millennials to be priced out of the market. Instead of vandalizing the homes of the wealthy, they should (a) work harder (b) learn patience and (c) stop voting in Leftist politicians who make it harder for them to earn a good living.
Not so much a Portlandia thing, but echoes of Governor Tom McCall—1967-1975. Have a nice visit, please don’t stay.
Beautiful couple, I wish them all the best.
Yes, it did. I believe Phil Knight made the first Nikes for Pre. We Husky fans call the University of Oregon “Nike U.”
Fake incident?
This is a common misconception. In CA the leftists are concentrated along the coastal cities and wherever Hispanics live. In OR they are concentrated in Portland and a couple of smaller cities along I5. In WA they are concentrated in Seattle, to a lesser degree, Tacoma, and again is some of the smaller cities the western half of the state. The Eastern half of the state is much more conservative. Idaho's leftist are mostly in Boise. Something about cities and the ocean attracts the mentally ill leftists out west. Basically in CA, OR, and WA the further from the Pacific you get the more conservative the people are until you hit a town like Boise.
As I understand it the majority of the leftists in NY live in NYC. Am I mistaken?
Nope. You’re correct. Upstate NY could be confused for any number of so called ‘red states ‘. A county by county election map of ny is mostly ‘red’.
The cities are cancer for the most part
I spent a week in Portland once, that was six and a half days to long for me. Oregon is a beautiful state, but Portland is a toilet.
I knew Nike was in Portland but not Adidas...
Revise that to coastal California, Willamette Valley Oregon, and Puget Sound Washington.
He fits in there as he has lots of tattoos : )
During that time, our family vacationed up there and saw many "Don't Californicate Oregon" bumper stickers. Unfortunately, no one read them.
These attitudes go back a long way. I think it was Gov. McCall(?) who said “you can visit but don’t stay”. We moved to Oregon twenty plus years ago when a mine started back up and I’ve never seen a more unfriendly place.
When you’ve been over-run by outsiders, it sort of sours you on bringing in more of them. Parts of the state have been reduced to an economic waste-land courtesy of the feds and the idiots in Portland meddling where they have no business and less knowledge, including the part that I grew up in.
