It is paradise because it is relatively undisturbed.. People should live as naturally as possible in its curves.. bathe in its pure waters be sheltered by its abundant greenery and fed by its fruitfulness.. God help me Protect Portland from EGO! and forever cherish the blessed gift that it is. Poverty is subject to your own opinion. Buildings & Wealth don't make one rich. Perhaps a natural healing and education centre will suffice but keep the filthy machinery, cars and tourists away from Gods gift to us! Honestly go sleep on a river bed and reconnect with the earth from which you came.
