Living in Oregon: no sales tax, Portland premiums, rain
Oregon blends Nike and apparel, Intel and semiconductors, timber and a Portland service economy with genuine cultural pull. There is no statewide sales tax, which residents notice daily.
Portland-area housing has become expensive, and the state income tax bites upper-middle earners to fund services. Rural Oregon stays cheap. The state fits tech and creative workers who accept the tax-for-amenities trade and do not mind gray winters.
