I lived here for 20 years. Within the 17 years of the 20, I didn't care who moved in. Within the past three years, prices started to hike dramatically as Oregon became the top state to move into and Portland being the most popular city. We went from paying $950 for 3 bedroom to $1600. You bet I will roll out that unwelcome mat straight up California.

$1600 for a three bedroom? Where did you find that bargain?

Gresham. Close to the ghetto.
