Nope.  The Urban-Rural "divide" in Oregon is well documented.  Here's just
one of nearly 900 google hits:

Saxton: Lawmakers must bridge Oregon's rural divide

Bridging the gap between Oregon's urban and rural divide is the subject of
Ron Saxton's commentary.


Let's think about this.

I've often talked about the importance of bridging Oregon's urban-rural
divide.

More accurately, it's a divide between Portland and the rest of the state.
Often called the two Oregon's.

It's a terrible problem that continually frustrates our ability to work
together as one state to address our many serious challenges--like providing
a quality education for all Oregon's children.
