I was in Portland a month ago on business for the first time and was completely blown away by how large the homeless population was. Not just large though... They also are more noticibly aggressive, assholish, and unbelievably entitled and outright expect/demand handouts. I felt like a Republican by the time I left. Other than that Portland is a cool rear end city. I enjoyed myself.

shiksa posted:there was a dude in my neighborhood a few years back with this sob story about how he was going to jail unless he could get to his job, needed transit money, just got out on coke charges, etc. i talked with him a bit and gave him a smoke cause i try not to be an overt rear end in a top hat. he asked if i had cash, i didn't, and then asked if i could go to an atm to pull some out and i told him i only had like 20 bucks in the bank (not a lie at all) and he still kept pushing. ZIronically i saw a number of stories in Portland papers after i got home about how local residents want the Portland PD to stop harassing the homeless. Its......weird. KEEP POTLAND WEIRD GUYUS.
