There is a gang? Coven? Of quasi homeless people in their 50's who have an impromptu 1970's disco roller rink in a wide spot on the sidewalk in the park in sf in an area I pass by regularly that is a front for some kind of illicit drug and or sex orgy in the bushes that I suspect has been happening since the actual 1970's Like half the time its a silly family event with kids and someone brings a boombox and they dance and it's fine; other times it's all creepily well preserved older people including one lady with shoulder length white hair who looks like a spooky sex witch and there is always someone playing "lookout" for the weird spot in the bushes where god knows what is happening Sometimes she looks at me with Hungry predatory eyes

Portland looked like a standard medium sized city to me, what is it that's brought out the hipsters en mass

David Copperfield posted:serious: what % of super-mentally ill hobos end up on liberal West Coast cities because buses from other states literally dump them there This was def a thing for years. I worked across the street from the former sf bus depot that was just torn down and there were people who'd slept there for 35 years after being shipped here. MULTIPLE flaming shopping carts rolled down the street past that building daily

paranoid randroid posted:i went back to portland after three years away and its full of tech dipshits now and they replaced the little mom & pop breakfast joint i liked with a place that brags about its artisanal fatback I think this is what's happening- people are bringing their money to Portland from elsewhere because it costs too much in CA. If you made a million bucks when twitter had its ipo that would be like a down payment in a lovely house in CA. In Portland you can buy a nice house for a third if that and have the rest invested towards retirement, and then just gently caress around on bikes and dress your nerdy girlfriend up in punk rock clothes. But you're not just some normal guy with a house NO you're ARTISANAL. You're really a secret cool Californian you're just living here IRONICALLY The fact that your house looks exactly like the house your parents owned in Cleveland that you vowed to escape from NO IT'S IRONIC SEE BACON ARTISANAL IRONY NAKED BICYCLE PUT A BIRD ON IT

David Copperfield posted:I'm all against exploitation of the homeless and gawking at them intentionally but I definitely would go out of my way to see this The ground Floor was all glass with cubicals right up against it and everyone got really used to hobos peeing, pooping and masturbating right up against the glass like it was nothing
