Hard to judge a state based on a reality show on TLC. The Roloffs live in the Portland area. I’m in the same valley(the only highly populated part of Oregon,) I’m just 2 hours to the south at the other end.

The reality here is that it costs more than it does to live in Portland, we have huge drug and crime issues throughout the state(mostly related to meth and heroin,) and unemployment is rampant.

It’s not a bad place to go per se if you have money to start a business, but we have thousands of people who moved here thinking that they could walk into the cannabis industry living in Hoovervilles...
