An In-Depth Look At Housing In Portland, Oregon

"The ever-increasing price of housing in the Portland metropolitan area continues to change the city and its suburban communities."

"Some of us are happy in our houses, if we bought them years ago and aren’t in a hurry for a change. Especially if we’ve seen our property values rise $100,000, $200,000 or even $300,000 over the last decade."

"But young people and first-time home buyers are increasingly searching in vain for a decent house, in a decent neighborhood, for a price they can afford."

"In this edition of Rethinking Portland, the Portland Tribune examines the realities of finding a place to live, or a home to buy, in the metro area. And what those realities mean for the city and region, for people who have lived here for years, and for people who have recently arrived to start building a life."
