Thank you so much for sharing this information. I'm a West Coast native currently residing in the Gulf Coast, but I'm looking to come back to the West Coast in the next couple of years after my kiddo finishes school, so I can be a bit closer to my mom since she's getting older. I found you to be informative on this video and a few of your other videos I've watched.
Great video! However, it is missing the one main con, the weather here in winter is very gloomy. That is one of the key factor which is missing in this video.
To a degree, yes. Although they are not required to be 100% fire or earthquake proof, as that would be cost prohibitive. Holt Homes has a new Japanese home product launching this year starting at $1.2M that will be fire and earthquake proof up to 9.0 magnitude, im excited to see it.
This is great info, but about the no income tax, something you didn’t mention but you probably should is the fact that a lot of people who live in Vancouver and Camas actually work in or out of Portland or somewhere in the tri-county area (Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington) because of the huge diverse metropolitan job markets those areas offer compared to Clark County, and if that is the case, even though you LIVE in WA you are still paying Oregon State income tax every paycheck unless you live in WA and have an interstate exemption like long haul truckers or other jobs that consistently cross state lines. Even those people living in Clark County and working from home for a business or agency based in Oregon still pay Oregon income tax, even if they never drive across the Columbia to go to work. The only little saving grace to this predicament is that if you happen to shop in Oregon, or buy something online using an Oregon mailing address while still residing in Washington you will not have to pay any state sales tax to Oregon since Oregon receives the bulk of its state taxes from its state-based employee’s incomes (notice I said employees not residents).
Great video. I have concerns about the Clark County population increasing by 200,000. Traffic on I-5 and 205 will likely be unbearable with that level of increase.
They need to scrap the whole idea of expanding the MAX to Vancouver via the I-5 bridge and build a new bridge across the Columbia between Camas and Troutdale. But who’s gonna pay for that? I don’t know, maybe toll it til the debt is paid with the clear expectation that the toll will cease once it’s paid for, but fat chance right?
Lucky you, I have a video about insurance coming out soon :) Insurance rates went up here, and nationally a lot in the last two years. If you live in the city the actual risk of a wild fire is infinitesimal. Flood zones are rare here. I would refer to the FEMA map. I mostly see them really close to rivers, creeks etc and in lowlands such as in certain areas in Brush Prairie.
Its not a comprehensive list, but I've certainly touched on it in other videos and made videos entirely about the subject. Crime and safety is not something I can talk about explicitly with fair housing rules.
Would you like to see wider/bigger roads, infrastructure fixes (filling potholes etc) or both? I feel like they usually hit it pretty hard in the warm months. The tough thing is that big projects take SO long. The SR14 addition which added one lane between 205 and 164th took two years, how crazy is that?

Awesome, thanks very much for watching! Hope you find the perfect town and area to call home

True! Though to be honest I like it ;)
Like 14... Muy atractivo tu video my friend Hannah ... Thanks 💯👌
mosquitos are bit annoying there during summer.
I agree 🤣
Eat lots of basils! Also in your garden plant what mosquitoes do not like...
Do the local building codes require the builders to build earthquake & fire resistant structures?
To a degree, yes. Although they are not required to be 100% fire or earthquake proof, as that would be cost prohibitive. Holt Homes has a new Japanese home product launching this year starting at $1.2M that will be fire and earthquake proof up to 9.0 magnitude, im excited to see it.

Thanks for clarifying! Yes that is true about working in Oregon but living in Washington. Cheers.

Thanks for watching! I certainly hope we can improve our infrastructure to support everyone 🙏

With wildfires getting closer have home insurance rates skyrocketed? And is the area a floodzone or will become one?

You didn’t mention anything about homeless crises and crime/safety
Why would she if she wanted ppl to move here lol
