Oregonians putting 'No Californians' stickers on for sale signs
Oregonians are fed up with the rising home prices in Portland and seem to think Californians are to blame.
"No Californians" stickers are mysteriously popping up on for sale signs in front homes that are on the market.
The stickers resemble a no smoking sign with a silhouette of the Golden State slashed out in red.
Realtor Lori Fenwick told The Oregonian that she learned about the trend when one of her buyers sent her a photo of a sign with one of the stickers. When Fenwick posted image on Facebook. she immediately heard from colleagues who had spotted the same sticker on signs.

back in 1990's Seattle. 
With its quarter mile limit on cutting ... 
As for the rest of it, yep, driven off the road in Oregon in the 1990s by some farmer. Guess he didn't like my CA plates.
In Oregon now, and while I don't miss the frequent quakes here (I was in the '89 Loma Prieta/World Series quake), I am getting to be a bit of a canned food hoarder thinking about the Cascadia subduction zone disaster that might await us. 
close to the fault and had a lot of damage - and trauma! As my place shook and things were crashing around me, me braced in the doorway, I was quite sure it was The Big One and my home was going to crumble into the river below. The aftershocks as you know were big and unnerving.
I was okay with earth tremors up until then ... and ironically, am now looking at moving to Oregon, but not thinking along the coastal area. I asked the realtor if Oregon would accept yet another Californian, and how could I get license plates before moving!

live in our backyard - they have only themselves to blame... 
I remember back in the late 70s the hilarious one-two bumper sticker punch: "WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA. NOW GO HOME" and "WHEN YOU LEAVE CALIFORNIA, TAKE SOMEONE WITH YOU."
Yeah, good times.
When I moved here 10 years ago I got a 600 sq ft apartment in the heart of what is now a heavily gentrified popular part of town for $530. Similar aparments in this area are now about $1,200. My old ones were converted to condos.
Real estate prices have skyrocketed in all the desirable parts of town, pricing out the former apartment dwellers that can't afford their aparments anymore.
Like it or not tons of people are moving here and they're not all from California. Like me, a lot of them are from the Midwest. But the perception, fair or not, is that the culture the Californians bring with them is having a negative effect on neighborhoods.
Favorite dive bars are being replaced with fancy wine bars, cheap cafes with $15/plate restaurants, and old houses are being torn down to build more condos/giant luxury homes that don't fit into the neighborhood.
All that is happening, but personally I don't think the growth is a bad thing. I might be biased because I do own a home in one of those desirable neighborhoods that I managed to get in on right before the market got really insane, but who knows. I do, however, think there is a difference between young migrants coming to a place they were looking to find other out-of-the-box thinkers (much like me ten years ago) vs. wealthy migrants coming in and trying to turn neighborhoods into cheaper versions of wherever they came from because the money they made selling their houses in more expensive areas allows them to live like kings here. No matter where those people are coming from.
But bottom line is it is happening so, well, get used to it or find somewhere else to live.
This cartoon was going around Facebook recently and sums it up nicely.
Repeatedly, and with gusto.
....
yup, that will be me in a few don't want to live in portland though. i prefer the countryside, around salem/eugene, but must be near a salmon river or tributary.
Poryland is called New Brooklyn ,Brooklyn is called New Whatever .Lofts were once factories .
The natives everywhere are restless = 7 billion plus gentrifiers and destroyers .
Guys. It's a sticker.
Most of us like you and want to be your friend.
as California.
Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, Washington and even Utah have harped on Californian immigrants to their states since I can remember.
Housing is getting ridiculous in Portland, I don't think Californians are to blame though.
Everyone wants to live near the best basketball team in the country!
Oh and we have legal weed now, so suck it CA. I am only kidding!
HOT. And DRY.
I kept thinking: "Wow, I remember one reason I wanted to get out of Cali." Everything was parched, brown, dusty, and dying, just like I remember California summers. The rain came back though -- hooray!
But, ya know, different strokes ... 
THE HUMIDITY WAS HORRIBLE
How do you do without air conditioning? 
We will steal your water eventually! 
I think it's usually a dry heat. But, then, I've also lived in the Midwest and East Coast too, and that is some major humidity right there.
We don't have AC, but we do have a grove of giant trees shading us and also fans and also a cool downstairs. There are a few days, though, when I reeeeeeally want AC.
You are probably right about the water! 
I loooooove our tap water -- straight from Mt. Hood. So delish! 
...they're probably seeing mostly northern Californians.
Yeah, those guys are all dicks.
Response to Liberal_in_LA (Original post)
isn't it the seller who determines the price? How is that Californians' fault?
Too bad. I was planning on going to Oregon on vacation next year. Staying in one of the parks with the Yurts. Oh well, lots of other places to spend my tourist dollars.
