Oregon was stuck in a deep recession because businesses would not invest in our state. Property tax cuts brought investment to our state creating much needed jobs It is amazing companies like Hynix came here at all after they were harassed to no end by our local PC liberals. To keep INTEL and NIKE here, Oregon has done exactly what SF, and Cali you reference have done...substantial tax relief. It's the old shell game in cali...like the 90% income tax no one ever remotely paid thanks to the loop holes but we can pretend we're nailing them rich people.
 The fact you keep going into denial...it took property tax relief to get Hynix to kill their plant in Scottland and offshore those jobs here...and when the Eugene city council would not renew those tax breaks they bailed town.
