People move to Oregon because the state hasn t been ruined by population growth.
Sooner or later, of course, they will be falling all over each other if they aren t careful. That s why in the early 1970s, then-Gov. Tom McCall asked people not to come here. If they insisted on coming, anyway, McCall requested that they not encourage anyone else from back home to move here, too. Ethan Seltzer, a Philadelphian, arrived in the early 1980s.
