I wonder how much of a stir this would be causing if a wealthy "outsider" wasn't doing this but a local that deemed the house not suitable to their needs.

For my whole life Oregonians have had it in for Californians moving up there. We even called not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign a "California stop."

From my understanding there is a heightened sensitivity to housing in Portland. It doesn't have the natural urban boundary that San Francisco does but have a self imposed urban growth boundary that causes distortion in housing prices.

Thanks. Have you considered differentiating b/t user and moderator action with something like [Dead] and [Dead - User Flag]?

I believe it was flagged as being akin to celebrity gossip.

Possibly. I'm curious if this one survives.
