I am sick of watching outsiders destroying the culture and history of one of the most historic and beautiful cities in America. I have been watching it happen to the entire state since the early 70s. I remember what it was like in the early 60s as a kid living in Laurelhurst and I know the personal history through family back decades earlier. Culture and history seem to be no match for business and money interests gone mad and they are no respecters of human memory, art or advancement.
