More bite the dust. Boxer (Ramen) is closing permanently. Also von Ebert Brewing is shuttering its flagship operation in the Pearl. No foot traffic. Too expensive to run a business. So employees losing their jobs and reduction of Portland's tax base. It's all spiraling downward. OHSU was able to take some advantage by buying defaulted property. But not everyone can do this.

Newport Beach (in Oregon) has been a shadow of its former self. The coronavirus epidemic started it, but it never recovered. Now I know why – it's the drug crisis.

Hawaii has a program to help doctors pay off their student loans. Ordinarily I would be opposed to this (since someone else has to pay) but there's a severe doctor shortage in Hawaii, so they have to make it worthwhile for doctors to go there (and stay there), since the cost of living is one of the nation's highest. Like Oregon, I wouldn't give Hawaii a look. Only those already living there, probably, would think of practicing there.
