I watched a few episodes of Portlandia. It was okay, except that there were no funny parts. I can only assume that the city is similar?

Native portland goon here reporting live that it sucks. I never thought I would feel like paying $950/month for a one bedroom was a good deal, but here I am.
Our building was just sold to new owners that I'm sure are going to jack up tent, so come January I am leaving for greener pastures.
This city has changed so much since I was small, it's sad.

How come all these "liberal baristas" overcrowd Portland but rent is super high ? Doesn't make sense unless you have a ridiculous minimum wage or something.

I went to college in Portland before it became a joke about itself and even then it was pretty close to intolerable. The last time I was there all I did was eat burritos at Taqueria Uruapan twice a day (which I heard has since moved or closed) and go to Powell's.

Love how a city that is demographically 95% single and between the ages of 22 and 28 snaps closed at 11pm faster than a social conservatives rear end in a top hat when he steps out of a cab at his daughters art show.

Portland doesn't have enough of a local economy to sustain itself, so it's full of tele-businesses that run on east coast time. It's bad.

living with their boy/girl/transfriend, or just friend/roomates. and still super high isn't as bad as some other liberal white kid meccas like sf/seattle, yet.

It's fun to read (and tell Portland enthusiasts) about how it was founded as a white supremecy utopia, and still has some comically racist rules on the books. Makes you think about all those hip beards and flanels as the modern day grand dragon uniform...but you know...less mainstream.

When i think of an Portland girl its a slightly scrubby chick who reads and has short hair which is fukken great and I like it but when I'm actually in Portland it's mostly incredibly mousey dumpers hiding belly flab under a sweater and wondering inwardly why the cat they bought turned out to be such a lovely cat. Sometimes you take a girls pants off in Portland Oregon and you see this wide, flat ghostwhite expanse disapponting all over the place and sigh through your nose.
