Look, I appreciate the fact that working in Beaverton and/or Hillsboro is probably super fun and fulfilling for you, but listen up: You know what would be super fun and fulfilling for me? Having a Swede's chance in hell of being able to afford a house here in Portland, where I work. While I love riding my bike to work, I don't love it enough to ride down from fucking Vancouver, which is where I'll be forced to move if house prices skyrocket any higher. So how's about instead of buying up all the close-in houses with your buckets of suburban-made money and then clogging up all the freeways getting to and from work every day, you invest some of those gobs of money into Beaverton and HIllsboro, making them less heinous places to live. And then live there.
Thanks.
