^ha, I'm certainly not anti-auto. I love my truck. It gets me to Silver Falls for weekend hiking, a trip through the Gorge, up to Helens, skiing on Hood. I just don't need it to get to and from work, the store, local errands, or going out on the weekends.
I was seriously looking at a condo in Cascadian Court in the Lloyd. It was just too small. I've been looking more at townhomes than condos lately. Some of Portland is just too expensive for what you get, even with location, so when I see a two story, two bedroom townhome in Gresham, vs. a 1 *uhumm* bedroom with a deck big enough to do a circle in, it's hard to choose the condo. And, since this is my first home I am seriously needing to get something I think will retain its value, considering the price difference between sq footage in Gresham vs. Portland, I might have to to settle for the burb and something not quite so 2007 new.
