As someone who grew up just 30 minutes north of the California border, I also want California to leave its problems at the door. My family (and other locals), who are multi-generational Oregonians, have always had negative bias against Californians, due to problems they bring when they move to Oregon. Anything from advocating more tax avenues or higher taxes, to gentrification, to excessive speeding (Oregon has max speed of 65 in the entire state), to nanny-state type laws. The culture difference between California and the PNW is very different.
- StudentStuff 9y agoWhy should my neighbor have a lower property tax bill than me? This is a prime cause of the financial issues of municipalities in California, when you buy property, your property tax gets rate capped, incentivizing people to hang onto property and rarely sell.
