ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS NOBODY IS ASKING: Why Portland is Getting Sick of Portlandia:

When I was in Portland, I heard complaints about how development is destroying “the Portland we love.” Now, as Portlandia gets ready to film its eighth and final season in 2017, some people are directing their blame at the TV show. Rent is increasing, it’s getting more crowded, shops some people loved are moving.

There’s a funny thing about people who complain about development: They tend to embrace it until they settle in, when they want it to cease as soon as all the coffeehouses, brewpubs, and yoga studios they love have been opened.
