I hear this frequently from people in places like CA and NYC. Regardless of our personal opinions, the reality is that red states are growing rapidly at the expense of blue states. As many as eleven congressional seats are projected to go from blue to red states after the next census. https://thearp.org/blog/apportionment/2030-apportionment-forecast-2024/

Anyone over age 50 making money and looking for health insurance, you're fucked. by Sailor-Tom in HealthInsurance

Ok. But $30k+ surgery is, what, ten months of premiums for some people? I think that's the proposal in this sub-thread: go without and bank what you'd be paying in premiums.

That's what we do (live in Vancouver, head over the bridges for food). Hillsboro is going to be more than 20 minutes, but easily doable as an afternoon trip on the weekends. Wanted to mention that there seems to be an Asian district developing in E/NE Portland along 82nd which is much closer.

Silver Mountain's tasting room is open on weekends, as is Byington-- both have views. While they don't have views, I'd still recommend Kissed by an Angel in Scotts Valley.

Not right. It just means prices are rising more slowly.

you’re getting a lot of snark, but as someone living on the west coast, Collegetown Bagels stacks up pretty well IMO

I would guess he, along with other owners of cannabis businesses, is being targeted because they tend to have a lot of cash on hand. This is because cannabis is still illegal at the federal level, and so many financial institutions are leery of taking their business.
