Five times the population means five times the traffic, five times the human-caused wildfires, five times the pollution, etc etc etc. Real estate prices have been driven out of range of most native residents; everywhere Oregonians now live in tents and travel trailers, or squat in the woods. Conversely wages here are dirt because of the constant influx of applicants. I have a friend who was a wealthy financial advisor in CA; now he works in Oregon for minimum wage "just for something to keep busy." Great, you're a California millionaire, and you feel compelled to take a job from an Oregonian who really needs the money? We SNOBs (Society of Native Oregon Born) are sickened when transplants begin bragging about California from the first one minute you meet them.

I can relate believe me, and I can understand. That is why you will never hear me bragging about California, there is a reason I am leaving it!
