BTW:
It don't make any difference if the L.O. trolley is built or not, the Employer paid TriMet state income tax on employees will still be collected; TriMet now has a proven record that they are trying to offer L.O. TriMet service, L.O. not wanting it cut no ice with paying the State of Oregon the TriMet payroll tax.

Lake-O is shutting down elementary schools suffering major cuts due to low turnover and not enough new blood (young families). It is widely presumed Lake-O is expensive but not always the case. Some common ramblers for sale have dropped to above $100/sq ft. You might even find decent rent in L.O. and get affectionately tailgated by BMW's & Benzo's.

Riverdale School is THE top 'public-private' elementary, hard to get a spot because it's a public school that takes applications from families outside the school district. The 'best' schools are mostly private like French-American, St Mary's, Oregon Episcopal, etc. But compared to SoCal, most of Portland+suburbs schools are good-to-go just due to sheer popularity of teachers wanting to work here.

Is it better to be near the 43 or the 5. We had a realtor drive us around when we went to visit recently and I got the impression that he recommended the north part of LO near the 5 which I think was West Park or something like that. Maybe I misunderstood but it seemed that he recomended using the 5 whether I was going to OHSU or to the Sunnyside clinic when it seemed to me on the map that I would want to take the 43 down to the 205 to go o sunnyside or maybe go up and over the sellwood bridge. Im not really sure. Are there areas of LO that are better than another....well I don't mean better really, I mean are there personalities and characteristics individual to different areas in LO.

If this were my commute, I would live closer to I-5 in Westlake, Mountain Park, Lake Grove or Forest Hills/Country Club area
