\nAge 23, white female, lives on High and Sherman for over a year

<\/a><\/p>\n
\nAge 30, white male, lives in the East End, has lived in Portland ~30 years total.
\nProblems with Portland: There is no outreach of what people want in the city, unaffordable condo, Portland is using money on arts to amp East Bay Side, but displacing middle class because housing is becoming unaffordable
\nTechnology Improvements: Public transportation, some sort of rail line, public Wi-Fi<\/p>\n![\"Image](\"http:\/\/i57.tinypic.com\/2dl14ip.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\n
\nAge 49, white male, lives in Rivertown for 26 years
\nProblems with Portland: Unaffordable for working class, condos are too expensive
