$700k in Hillsboro? Holy hell.
Investors Buying Up Almost 30% Of Oregon Homes As Hillsboro’s Median Price Hits $700,000
Housing is on everyone's mind. Those who have it are wondering what their homes are worth and maybe considering buyinghillsboroherald.com
When I first moved here way back in '93, Hillsboro was cow fields, a tiny air port, and Intel. Tech grew like crazy and filled out the cow fields, but the idea a house average is $700k is nutty. Beaverton has been out of the question for a while because the traffic is awful, but I thought Hillsboro and Forest Grove were still options. I was wrong.
Time to sell up and buy the whole town of Limon.This just in, breaking news, Jackson is fucking crazy.

Nope - but there's one in Hugo, just down the road...Is there a VFW there? I’ll need $1.50 longnecks. A LOT of them.
I can tell them I was in the French Foreign Legion.

I just checked - it's only 5.5 miles *under* the mountains there.This is written by a friend of mine. She is bitter. She and Kidwoo should meet.

Bet none of them were Italian.not one engineering group anywhere would sign off on it being remotely a decent idea.
That was irrelevant for the immediate need, which was to reopen the pass not tomorrow, but yesterday. The real fix is already being planned, this fix is more like the way an army builds a temporary bridge. It isn’t a repair, it’s a life-line. In the truest sense: 30-40% of our local hospital and first responder workers live in Teton Valley.Really fun to watch was them repairing that highway before getting the soil samples tested and analyzed. There were more than a couple geologists/engineers that were asking "WTF are you doing?" with that highway repair, as in super sketch.
Oh, the incredible misinformation regarding the feasibility of a tunnel. Three factors: we are in an active subduction zone, next to one of the more seismically active areas in the country due to volcanic forces deep underground, and the soil/dirt is some of the worst, unconsolidated garbage, the tunnel would likely fail repeatedly, in multiple locations, every year.
Not only that, it would like cost billions upon billions, and billions more in maintenance.
As well as the fact that periodically Moose and Bear would need to be shooed out of there.
This has been studied extensively, and not one engineering group anywhere would sign off on it being remotely a decent idea.
It's Wyoming... they would probably balk at spending tree-fiddy on infrastructure.TBH $260m seems cheap to me for a tunnel of that size and location.
I'd have thought it would be nearer to $500m
I unfortunately saw my first POStruck today. Damn those things look even dumber when you see someone has bought one of them.
They look even dumber when you have seen several of them and certain aspects like the huge gap between the bumper and the rest of the truck and the unavoidably awkward windshield wiper. Clearly designed by a dipshit in a board room.I unfortunately saw my first POStruck today. Damn those things look even dumber when you see someone has bought one of them.
It is, you just don't tell em that till they are halfway through.TBH $260m seems cheap to me for a tunnel of that size and location.

I saw my first one in Texas 3 days ago. My d*ck did not fly off.I unfortunately saw my first POStruck today. Damn those things look even dumber when you see someone has bought one of them.
lol, and whatever was 260mm in 2013 is a billion now.$260m is loose change to @rideit 's neighbours.
Yea, but peekaboo views of the lake? Can't discount that.
It's not even finished.......
