I moved with my family to Oregon from Cali many years ago, and I've got to tell you, this place sucks.
In Western Oregon, expect to see gray skies, or rain for months at a time.
This winter so far, for instance is the winter from hell. It has rained for weeks now, with just a one day break here and there.
Pretty much since the 1st of October it's been mostly gray dark and wet.
We have been spoiled by several mild winters, but this winter is looking like the classic Western Oregon winter.
Also, with each passing year Oregon becomes bluer and bluer.
Along the I-5 corridor Eugene, Salem, and Portland make ALL the political decisions for the rest of the state, and those decisions are liberal through and through.
Oregon, also is an expensive place to live, and in fact don't know how it ranks right now, but several years back it ranked #1 for the WORST place for retirees to live.
Too wet.
Too gray.
Too expensive.
Too liberal.
My advice, RUN, don't walk away from here !
I'll be getting the hell out in a few more years.
I was in Portland last fall. I admit...I like the infrastructure. Very easy to get around. But...a lot of hippies and liberals.
Oregon and Seattle seems like a place where white liberals move because they want to get away from blacks but won't say so....so they move there to remain tolerant but be away from blacks.
The older original Hippies from 1960s, many of them of course, when they woke up realised they were Conservatives.
