In 1990 My sister and I drove to Portland to visit her son there. We fell in love with the city and wanted very much to open a bed and breakfast there. We were knocked out by the price. Portland does a good job of discouraging "outsiders" from buying and/or starting a business there, family owned or not. It's a lovely place and quite community oriented, but they make it clear that while they encourage your visit, they do NOT encourage your permanent move. Nephew had to leave because there are so few jobs. We saw a sign somewhere that stated "Welcome to Oregon. Enjoy your visit. Do not move here." something like that. The price of real estate keeps that true.
