Similar to what has been observed in Seattle and San Francisco, property values in the core areas of Portland have plummeted.The question now is, how long will it take for the city to recover?

I have no idea if this is the case, just my observation.

Least that's been my observation.

@Chris Mason I don't have stats to back up my opinion, but my local observation is that houses are sitting on the market longer and we are seeing price drops.

I even went as far as to write a book on what I've observed over the years and researched about lottery winners in 2015. 

Not enough, just an observation.

Let them observe what you're doing and then see the results.

Each location will be different as far as what is "better" so not fiscal advice that way, just an observation.

A few quick observations:1- I sense that a lot of nice-guy landlords with way below market rents just got a major adrenaline injection, and are goona be quickly serving 60 day termination letters to those month to month tenants...so not sure exactly how that will help to stabilize homelessness.

Sorry, I have nothing positive to add, just critical observations.
