Oh yeah the Mexican food and the farmers market are great! Lots of good people here! But they're not the city, sadly. The mayor and his/her cronies shipped in from Texas are the only ones who define the "City of Hillsboro." Just go up Brookwood sometime to highway 26, you'll see the ugly side of this place. All that wasn't there 10 years ago.

I'd like at least something more like the Beaverton system, where the city council get to do something other than sit there and look pretty. But I'll even accept our current dictator mayor situation if it stops all these data centers from going up, tax-free on our dime. If you can't tell from the dripping sarcasm in my voice, the polar opposite of that is true.
