Dear friends that are obsessed with living within Inner Portland, GIVE IT UP (for now). 10 years ago, the average yearly earnings of residents in Buckman, was $19,000 ish a year. Average house there is $367,000. The apt I used to pay $650 for, is now up to 2k a month. The yuppies moved in to buy up the lifestyle that many artists and bohemian types created. Now they have Gentrified those areas in hopes that they will be part of something that is already gone. Its sad, but true. Heres how you battle back. Move out to the neighborhoods you can afford. REVITALIZE them. Take your art, your bar money, food money and talents to Gateway. Take them to Montavilla. Occupy Felony Flats. Make those places the great spots that you helped make Alberta and Division and Hawthorne. They will be left to their dull, overpriced selves and they will move on to the next trendy spot. Then we can move back inner, where we belong! Or something. In the meantime, show your discontent the old fashioned way. -Throw rocks at the new windows of condos that are still being built. - Verbally assault the yuppies. They really cant take harsh words. Totally serious. They are grown up assholes that were coddled as children. Words hurt them. -Vandalize -Steal their roses at night -Urinate on their cars and or in them. -Salt their yards -Graffiti their condos -Turn Portland Weird into Portland WTF? The possibilities are endless.
