Sometimes when I’m milling about Metro #Portland I think about how shoddy some of the suburban construction is and imagine how absolutely fucked we’d be if we had some big employers evaporate like Detroit did a few decades ago (ahem, #intel *cough*). At least a lot of the building stock in #Detroit was made of super high quality materials. The amount of T-111 sided 1980s boom-time tract housing in the #pdx area is wild, and it would be absolutely eviscerated.
