my 1100sf house was about 1.1 two years ago and i could sell today for 1.5 without hitting the market. And house would get bulldozed 24h after the permitting.

built a 172" custom sprinter van 18 months ago for about 170 and could sell it immediately for low $200s.

So you may be right but very conditionally. Without parfing it I'm going to suggest that Portland is much less desirable than it was 10 years ago. Only two times I've had to avoid human poop on the street was in east Portland and Arcata CA.
