Why do so many Oregonians hate Californians? Here’s why

I wounld’nt waste time hating on Californians, it’s JEWS you should be all offended by.(p.s. the jews hold more money and govt positions than any other race but constitute 2% of u.s. population)

I’m originally from Chicago, and have been thinking about leaving southern California to Oregon for pretty much every reason described in this article. And I’d come up there to promote Permaculture, so I should think I would be welcomed heartily, except I know there are ignorant people everywhere.

One finger pointing at California, three fingers pointing right back at the Oregon finger pointers. You know, I was thinking of doing something very constructive for Oregon, but now I’ve changed my mind. I don’t need to be treated badly for trying to do good. Good luck up there..

lol at justifying their hate, using those same reasons against illegal aliens and they’d be appalled. Xenophobia, what these ignorant Oregonians are displaying.

I was born and raised in Oregon. I do believe Californians have had a negative impact. A realtor once told me her industry was responsible for the housing cost spike. She said realtors knew Californians could pay the higher prices so they raised them to benefit their pockets. It has hurt Oregonian and this state so much! Every Californian I’ve known bitches about our cities not having what theirs have, mocks Oregonians for how they dress, for hunting, ect. They all seem to embrace liberal lunacy and vote so. Northern California people are more normal. Southern CA weird. We lived by Peteluma for half year. Every person I met asked if we hunt, killed, and ate deer! ???? I got asked if we still had Indians and if we all had indoor plumbing ???? I agree with Tom McCall when he said enjoy your visit, but don’t stay!!!

Why does one group of americans oppose another? Because they are unwitting victums of a jewish banking and media effort known as divide and conquer.it works especially well when the victims are atheists . they have convinced the average non jew to value money above pride in workmanship. Money now holds the most importance. Divide and conquer. Hold dear your fellow non jew califonia niehbors because the jewish talmud considers all non jews to be animals and not humans.

I moved to Oregon in 1999 from Los Angeles. I expected a clean environment with corn-fed hippie types. And I was amazed and appalled at how over run this state is with meth heads. It is not a wholesome place as I was led to believe. It is crawling with drug addicts.

I’m just an American living in America. Grew up in a military family, lived in lots of states. There is a big difference between S. Cal and N. Cal. People who complain about where they live need to move, if they are unhappy.

I’m from Mexico . Lived all my life in SoCal. I like the rain and the forest and I’m a speed limit driver . I recycle and don’t have kids. I will purchase a hybrid soon. I send money to Sierra club and Oceana , rescue pets …I mean I agree most of people in California seem to not give a hoot about our natural resources . I dislike my own race so much because they throw trash everywhere and have a bunch of kids they can’t control. It’s so we all carry the label of the majority 🙁 I was thinking of moving to Oregon one day because I love the rain and the woods. I don’t get tired of cloudy days and love hiking . IF you decide to live somewhere you have to adapt and respect the people who were there before you. That being said a place who doesn’t welcome good citizens and judge without knowing first is not a good place. Here in California we are even dealing with a bunch of homeless from other states who decided they like it here. I don’t see people writing on their tents or cars “go back” much more accepting and civilized . Welcoming. Maybe Oregon is not for me after all.

Wow, I’ve lived in So. Calif. all my life and this article about us is way harsh! I’ve been to every state in this union except for 5 states and I find beauty and fondness for each and everyone I’ve been to. Every state has its quirks, weirdness, positives and negatives just as California does. I love my state! Sure it has its problems but it’s still my state and I’m always glad to come back home after traveling our beautiful nation.

Native California here. I understand the discontent many of you have expressed with transplants from California but I think a lot of people don’t understand that the problem doesn’t begin with Californians. Someone mentioned that they have seen housing prices in Oregon jump from $50,000 to $450,000. Well in my part of California, housing prices have jumped from $250,000 to over $800,000. This all began, of course, with the sub-prime rate loan fiasco, which initially jacked up housing prices, but was sustained by supply and demand. California is a popular destination for just about every other young, bored individual in this country who wants to get out of small town USA, or make it big in “Hollywood” or who wants to escape eternal cold winters. As a native Californian, I’m a minority in my area. This influx of people drives up rentals…many people are paying 90% of their income to their rent. When rentals go up, property prices in general go up (at least in California and it sounds like in Oregon too). When property prices have a continues upward trend, as they have on most of the west coast, investors begin to think real estate in that area is a good place to park their money. You think it’s only Californians driving up housing in your area but it isn’t. Attracted by the prospects of increasing property values, people from various states and China have been buying real estate along the west coast, further contributing to the increase in housing and pricing native residents out of their home towns, cities, and states.

That’s really the only reason most people leave California. Housing is just too expensive unless they want to live in the desert and are able to find work there.

That probably explains why Californians go to Oregon and then try to implement policies that “destroyed” California. They didn’t want to leave California to begin with.

Even the most right wing, racist, tax hating, illegal hating, welfare hating, homophobic conservative , if they are a native Californian or long time California resident, they will not leave the state unless they get priced out of it by cost of rent, the fact they can’t afford a house, or if they own a house, in rare instances where they have a fixed income, property taxes as their property appreciates in value.

They then come up with all of these ideological reasons rather than just admit they could no longer afford housing in the part of the state they wanted to live.

Similiar is occuring in SC. Urbsprawl is terrible. Many trees and woods being cut down running wildlife out of their homes, so bad that someone started a business removing animals from homes. But if taxes were imposed on these new construction sites and homes, animal control could do their job. Where these animal problems didn’t come along until this area was invaded. So who should pay for the problem we didn’t have? Who’s elected to represent the people who’ve always lived here? NC has a similiar infection.
Then taxes paid by the locals had been used to pave new roads to these subdivisions, while their neighborhoods are neglected. Where politics is like business, use others money for other people who have more money and it’ll be recouped. Then, with more taxes, larger government complexes can be made.
If you Oregonians are sick of the higher rent and other foolishness, why don’t you unite? Then take what you have and load it in your car or rent a U-haul, some might be able to get a good price on independent truckers and create a convoy walking out the state and move to the Carolinas? Southerners love wilderness and the outdoors. It rains reasonably well with sunshine too.
Where it sounds like you’re being used to benefit foreign aliens, so stuff it in their rear. A large mass exodus out, where there’s no one to buy their homes and rent their homes or serve them. Then Teardrops can fall, we had plans on making money off you, boo too hoo.
Where oil companies are looking to explore for oil and has off the coasts of the Carolinas. Which if I remember correctly, there’s huge nat gas supplies off the coast and could be oil. Move here and push for it, it’d open up a new industry. Which more nature and wildlife friendly than all these turd makers that have invaded. Where they live thinking nothing of what’s destroyed so they could invade. Very inhospitable to the environment.
So organize, unite, form a Convoy. Pull up “Convoy”, by C.W. McCall and play it in your Grand Exodus. Then play Johnny Paychecks’ song, “Take This Job & Shove It”, replacing the word job with whatever you’d call your situation.
If you put confederate battle flags on your license plate like in “Smokey & the
Bandit” or Confederate Battle Flags from antennas, in support of southern states liberty & freedom, you’ll get a better reception.
There’s forest here like Francis Marion, Beidler forest, at cetra. Look up the Swamp Fox, as he was a southern guerilla fighter in the Revolution who’d run into Charleston, fight the British, then run out into the swamp. Yeah, there’s swamps too. Not too many people get are by the alligators, but a couple of people were eaten by full grown mature snapping turtles.
Then there’s the Copper River Fed by two large lakes, Marion & Moultrie that feeds into the Atlantic. There’s the Blackwater river of the Edisto that goes from the upper areas of the state to the Atlantic, the Ashley River, and a few others.
But if you’re into natural, grow some yarrow to deal with mosquitoes. Then humidity and heat have to be gotten used too. If you have some wiccans or devout christians who sincerely pray to God, the weather can be changed.
You guys might feel at home here.
Convoy…….

Goodness me this is a extremely pompous and egregiously close minded article. Although it is quite humorous. I can’t tell if it’s supposed to be satirically serious, or seriously satirical. Either way, I would imagine that not all Oregonians are the same, and that many would be upset, or put off to be all clumped together, as if you saw one you saw them all. Guess what, Oregon and California are different states and, with that, are bound to influence their residence with different characteristics. First thing, you don’t own the land. When you die, you don’t take your land with you. If anything, you return to the land because it owns you, so please spare the whole “this is our land” statement. Second, the thought that Californians alone are the cause of all of your real estate woes is alarming all on its own. Do you blame all of your struggles outwardly with singular focus? Real estate prices are part of a system, like everything. If you want to point blame, blame the Big Bang, or God, or whatever you believe In, because that technically was the start of every issue in the universe. Next, this thing about driving. Driving anywhere becomes a habitual behavior of the setting you most often interact with. Did you ever think that driving in California is different, and that maybe breaking a habit that is day in and day out engrained into someone’s behavior is not so easy. Maybe you all could pitch together and start a program to help people become accustomed to your foreign Oregonian ways. And this thing about your roads. I’m sorry Tillamook County for your crap roads, welcome to the norm for any Californian. I do not no one Californian driver that would vote against fixing roads. Clearly you have never driven Californian roads. They’re quite shit. Maybe you need to do some soul searching and ask yourself who hurt you, and why you feel the need to poke the hornets nest that is “Oregonians hating Californians”. Oregon is a beautiful magical wonderful place, and many Californians visit Oregon because they want to experience something new and different. I’m pretty sure that’s why anyone travels to a place that is not their (current) Home. I would think their residents would match the state‘s calm and serene beauty, but after reading this article, I’m left to believe otherwise.

I know this is 2 years too late but i think that Californian’s don’t necessarily know how to drive. In California, their driving is an example for everyone; if there’s a slow down in one lane, the other lanes stay at a consistent speed, there’s no hesitation, no one is timid. That style of driving obviously doesn’t work up here due to thinner highway lanes, less high way maintenance, and dare i say much more timid and inattentive drivers.

I will however venture out that the lousy California drivers you see in the Pacific Northwest are the California rejects who couldn’t handle proper Californian driving after moving there for a brief stint.

Stop generalizing. Not all of California is San Francisco or Los Angeles from end to end. I was born in “The State of Jefferson” in the far north end of California. I’ve always lived in the foothills on the edge of the Sacramento Valley and the Sierra Nevada Gold Country. Small historic mining towns and logging towns that would fit in perfectly in the NW. Kind of rednecky hunting, fishing type places along with a liberal dose of pot farmers thrown in. So when I’m up in Oregon (which isn’t terribly far from my home) it always makes me shake my head when someone finds out I’m from California and gets an attitude.
