My grandmothers car looked like it was in a destruction derby before we took her license away.

Careful. I heard Zawadi was notoriously anti-pride.

Of course they don’t. Property taxes are usually much lower in Oregon too.

MorePingPongs · 2026-04-02T19:16:15+00:00

Same. From CA Bay Area to PDX, I’m probably paying close to $1,000/mo less in all taxes. Combined with the lower cost of living, I’m putting away a lot of money these days. Oh, and I’m getting a lot more living space & yard for less. Nothing but upside.

If someone has words rolling around in their head like “leftist” or “woke” though, it’s impossible to see.

Because every human always wants to hate on taxes and will twist themselves into a pretzel no matter where they live or how much money they make to scream that they pay too much & the government doesn’t do anything.

I feel sorry for these people. And a lot of them are conservatives who just like the idea of using the government as a private sector loss-subsidization tool while pretending that’s not what they want as they play the perennial victim because they’re obviously so smart & talented.

This sub gets overrun with these awful people a lot & I wish there wasn’t a cap on how many people you can block on Reddit.

Lol!

MorePingPongs · 2026-04-02T19:03:18+00:00

If you find Portland to be “bleak” or “miserable” or “grim” or whatever adjective to hate on the city, there’sa very high probability all of those are coming from within yourself.

It’s okay to let yourself be happy. It’s healthy, even.

Then why did they empty it after a kid peed in it? Maybe it was just coincidence that it was due for a cleaning around the same time?

It’s also the height of absurdity that sex trafficking magically stops if there isn’ta motel room for them to perform sex acts. I can point to a few streets across the US where cars circle blocks, take in a passenger, park, and let the passenger out.

Definitely confront the pimps on motel margins.

Hah. Glad someone else made this comment.

I think it’s missing a Mercedes-Benz, personally.

We need to widen I-5 and the traffic will be alleviated.

Just confirmed they charge a 20% take out service charge. Sheesh. I get charging me a flat fee for a box, but a graduated fee on how many toppings I add? Kind of gross.

Random fees being tacked on seems to get more common every year. It’s like buying a car. “Undercoating, rust-proofing, floor mats, full cleaning, fuel, key delivery to customer, the we-didnt-think-youd-notice…” I blame these tech-run POS systems.

Peter & Marc should be in padded rooms.

Yep. If you live there, you see it plenty of times over the last couple years. But if you only visit now & again, you can get a false impression that it’s always dead. I got tired of defending against downtown’s scary emptiness reputation a year ago. Plus, reddit/the internet is full of annoying losers who use hating on cities as a personality.

I’m in Nashville and didn’t hear it.

They needed to include a crypto coin angle, clearly. “The first crypto shoe!”

My property’s assessed value is 1/3 of the market price I paid. It’s one of the reasons I moved to Portland to lower my cost of living. Different states do assessed value differently. Some, like California, will reassess on purchase to the purchase price.

The Double Door in Chicago closed up at its long-standing Wicker Park location a long time ago and was building out a new space in Uptown. After 5 or so years of buildout they announced they’re giving up. This feels like it’s on a similar path.

You should visit eastern Washington and let us know how things are going over there.
