ReplyDeleteThanks for the warning
Relax KC soon you'll be like Portlandia!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL believe me this isn't some utopia that many seem to believe. We have the same problems major cities have and they're getting worse and housing is the biggest problem.
Affordable - no more! Sorry but you missed that boat a long time ago. If you want to live in the inner core the rent costs are outrageous (average is $1500 for a one bedroom) and that's only if you can find a place. Trying to find a good house to buy is a challenge in the inner core as well...our neighborhood has one of the lowest inventory in the country. Bidding wars are common for dumpy fixers - if you can find them.
Jobs? - uh this is the land of low wages and no jobs. Oh, there are jobs but mostly entry-level and for the top end you have only a handful of corporations to choose from.
Schools? - the state of Oregon has probably one of the worst funding schemes for paying for schools in the country - only property taxes. That means most are crying for money. Portland Public Schools is a joke with constant teacher's union issues, underfunding and the facilities which have been left to fall into disrepair (want the lawn mowed at your school? Gonna have to do it yourself). They came to us for a bond last year for facility repair and now they want to offer up another one.
Portland has also spent its money poorly - yeah we have a shiny new street car but our city streets are potholed and falling apart so much so the city council is floating a scheme to charge $12 / month per household to fix them. You might think "well,I plan to bike on those famous bike lanes everywhere." That only works when you live in the core and if you can only afford the outer neighborhoods that isn't much fun or practical - it really does rain 9 months out of the year.
Yeah, you probably know someone, who knows someone, and have heard it is all good but research it before you decide that this is paradise. Oh, and I didn't move here - I'm from here.
brookside is so mad! all of us! boondoggle unjust undue burden disenfranchised why dont business owners from out of town get to vote rex isn't backing us everyone agrees hipster coffee toy trains everything you want you can have if you just vote no i swear we'll improve busses we are transit experts.
ReplyDeleteCalm down russ. You seems so angry since you had to shave all your hair off. Personally, I like the look. It's SEXY!
ReplyDeleteCard-carrying Mensa wunderkind monitoring these premises all day every day... savoring Tony's freshly wafting farts...breathing them deeply.
ReplyDeleteOh the self loathing he must feel to just not be able to stay away.
Now get back to setting the world on fire, you hard-charger!!
I vote for Jordan and against the TDD Triple Tax.
ReplyDeleteI vote against the TDD keptatuple tax! It's 17 secret taxes.
ReplyDeleteFact!
I live in Lenexa. Everyone in brookside agrees with me
The royals are winning (for now) and the morons of Kansas City pay bucks to support it only when they (the Royals) are successful, sounds like we can finally understand why The morons who pay taxes in KC only shadow success when it rarely happens here, instead of being a real part of making this city happen...again KC is a joke filled with people who could care less!
