I had to turn the radio station today while listening to this show.

It made me so, angry.

I have lived in Oregon for 27 years. I was born here.

It never ceases to anger me when I see what used to be green-forested hills in Mt. Scott area now being carved out for condos and McMansions.

Gentrification is on the rise, and put on by developers not even from Oregon.

You are ruining this state. If you like Oregon so much, then emulate it in your own state.

DON'T MOVE HERE AND EXPECT OREGON TO ADAPT TO YOU.

The lady from Travel Oregon isn't even a native as far as I can tell. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But I highly doubt an Oregon native would attempt to sell their state out...
