Portlanders apparently upset with the direction of the local housing market are slapping "no Californians" stickers on For Sale signs in the city, real estate agents say. — Oregon Live
Portland, Oregon denizens are apparently worried that a tightening real estate market is partly the fault of monied Californians, who allegedly start bidding wars and make already scarce housing inventory even more expensive. This fear is manifesting in the appearance of a wordless, red and black sticker on real estate signs that appears to ban the state of California, a la a "No Smoking" sign. As realtor Lori Fenwick noted, Portlanders who don't like current real estate rates "can just go ahead and voice their opinions wherever they want, but it sucks that they're doing that."

It's too late. Portland is full of Californians already, and has been since 1994 when I last lived there. Also Midwesterners.
Apparently the problem is greedy Portlanders who choose to sell for the higher price...
