In reply to the discussion: Oregonians putting 'No Californians' stickers on for sale signs [View all]DiverDave
(5,245 posts)67. When the houses in Reseda (just an example) tripled in value in the late
'70's a lot of folks cashed in.
some weren't as laid back as their neighbors.
The Ungreeting card I liked the best was "last year 546 people fell off their bikes in Oregon, then the inside said "and drowned"
The resentment of folks that just didn't get they weren't in the city anymore was thick.
One guy shot and killed a fisherman on a boat in a fishing hole in front of his house, claiming it was "his".
This was the Rogue river. Which is legal to fish from a boat....
So, yeah, people didn't like Californian's.

Growing up in the west and living in many places I can say that this anti-California thing is as old
