I live in Oregon--a lot of our population growth has been 1) due to an increasing population of migrant workers, 2) moderate housing prices/great liveability in Portland, and 3) well, Oregon's just a great place to live, why WOULDN'T you want to live here? Oh, yeah, rain.
I have a feeling former Gov. Tom McCall is rolling in his grave. For those of you not familiar with Oregon history, Gov. McCall was one of Oregon's best-loved politicians, known for protecting our beaches, instating our Bottle Bill (the first of its kind in the US), and developing the urban growth protections Oregon is well-known for. McCall was well-known for the following quote, and I agree whole-heartedly: "We want you to visit our State of Excitement often. Come again and again. But, for heaven’s sake, don’t move here to live."
