I read back a couple of posts to the one about you two moving to Portland. All I can say is that a lot of Californians are leaving the state. It's crowded, dangerous, and expensive. It's the new mass exodus like the one that pushed Westward until the close of the frontier, or the black exodus from the South to the North, or the exodus that brought so many people into Cali from the close of WWII until the mid-90's. Now people with means and common sense are going to Oregon, Idahoe, and Washington. Even Nevada is growing with California expats. Myself, I love Texas, and I think I'd be there already except all of my family is here, mostly in Sacramento and I love them.

My name is Joe. I grew up just behind Bing-Malony(?) golf course around 24th and Florin road. Currently I'm living in midtown. You have it nailed when you say that the cost of living is sky rocketing in this town. As far as what people on the fringe are doing I don't know. I don't get out much. Later.
