Moving to Portland

6/22/2016

Cynthia and I have joined the great SF Bay diaspora and moved to Portland, Oregon. It was a particularly difficult decision for Cynthia, for whom the Bay area was home for nearly 50 years. Her three children were born and raised in San Francisco, and she assumed that they, too, would make their homes in the City. My own move to San Francisco from New England was motivated by a job, and after a few years I, too, began to think of myself as a Californian. Well, sort of – a big part of me will always be a New Englander, where I lived for 25 years.
Moving to Portland has become a bit of a cliché in the past few years, especially for young families shut out by the astronomical cost of living in the Bay Area. It became an acute issue for Jessica and John when it was time for them to buy a house to accommodate their growing family. After a long and frustrating search, they relocated to Portland and we followed. They found a terrific place, and we found a century-old Portland house that has been taken down to the studs and renovated – a new house inside the shell of an old one. Both are in great, walkable Portland neighborhoods, and near each other. We miss San Francisco, but Portland is becoming a great new home for all of us.
