I wonder how much of a stir this would be causing if a wealthy "outsider" wasn't doing this but a local that deemed the house not suitable to their needs.
For my whole life Oregonians have had it in for Californians moving up there. We even called not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign a "California stop."
From my understanding there is a heightened sensitivity to housing in Portland. It doesn't have the natural urban boundary that San Francisco does but have a self imposed urban growth boundary that causes distortion in housing prices.
She hardly comes off as the type of person that wants affirmative action. I'm not being a white knight here but that comment is kinda insulting to her.
Not in the slightest insulting. All I see in this girl is that she is following the fairly normal path that non-Zuckerbergian founders go through. She's smart and motivated and getting some good experience under her belt early. If she is not supported to rapidly pick herself up and dust herseld off then she might not be back in the game for years. A failed venture can take years to recover from financially etc. The lack of women co founders is a constant issue now in the industry so when we find good ones then they deserve some extra help.
