If I moved somewhere with a law I thought was weird my first thought would be, “I wonder why.” And then I would make an effort to find outįunny you bring that up. Second, the law is not nonsensical if you find out why it is that way. (Dunno why you’re getting downvoted, it’s a perfectly reasonable question, and is asked way nicer than some in this sub would ask it.) If that extended opportunity to look around didn’t bring it up for us, I can very easily see how someone more rushed would be more unlikely to discover that. I know a couple folks that moved out here on basically no prior experience with the state because they got a job out of college that required them to relocate here. So it’s not like that 8 days was our first exposure to OR, or even the PNW… but we were lucky to get that much time, not everyone does. But we were already familiar with it, had been to Oregon 5 or 6 times before, and we were following two other households in our family (my wife’s brother and parents) that moved out here in the year before.
