My perpetual bum bro-in-law lived there, came here to sponge a while and went back. He said they had the highest welfare and unemployment benefits in the country.

How is it that the damned liberals have taken over all the best looking scenery in the country?

I'll walk around Portland now at night.
I can name a lot of places I wouldn't dare do that. I don't know what you saw but I've never seen anything that makes me think Portland is one if the scariest places in the country.
I too have driven all over this country.

Cobain should have waited and used that shotgun on some prog filth liberals instead of himself.

I'm pretty sure he would have been right in there with the Antifa idiots...so i guess technically he did take out at least one prog with the pull of the trigger...or Courtney did depending on the story you believe.

White collar yuppies that move there, and vote heavy Democrat. The yuppies in the 80's were capitalist and liked Reagan and Friedman, the new yuppy is alot different and likes Bernie Sanders and AOC.

What's sad is that footloose vibe is overtaken with a severe insecurity anxiety. Everyone cares too much about stuff they ought not.
I think OKC, SLC, and a few others still have that.

Viruses target healthy tissue first, and don't move on until they have killed their current area and it is no longer sustainable

I've never been to the Pacific Northwest or Big Sky country - at least if you excluded Denver and Colorado Springs - I've been about everywhere else.
But, the politics get really weird once you are West of Texas, that's for sure.

Oregon’s always had a lot of fringe groups out there like the Rajneeshee cultists and the “flirty fishers” that River and Joaquin Phoenix’s parents belonged to.

Wife and I were in Seattle in 2009. Was an awesome trip and beautiful place. Couldn’t wait to go back, but you are correct. Even then you could feel the “unrest”. That word doesn’t sound right, but the best I could come up with. I really don’t understand how there is so much civil unrest and racial divide in a place that so overwhelmingly white.

Portland was a beautiful city, that everyone wanted to move to

Yah it’s getting really nice out. Cool to cold every night and morning and just warm enough in the late morning / afternoon to where you can spend time outdoors in short sleeves. I love the western time zone (something cool about it still being light out at 9 to 10PM when it’s been dark back east for 5 hours) and how clean the air is, and I’ve honestly never been a “great outdoors” type and yet here I am hiking and running outdoors almost every afternoon.
Also - aren’t most US cities becoming unlivable? New Orleans and Minneapolis and Atlanta all seem unappealing to me now. Very militant and corrupt - maybe the election just jaded me.

Are you telling us that worthless hippie bums can't keep a city going?

It's been 5 years since I was in Portland, but one thing I remember being surprised at was the amount of hipsters walking around smoking cigarettes.

While I admit this is a bit of an oversimplification..
The answer to your question is simply that "civil" unrest and "racial" divides ultimately have very little to do with race..

There’s not one single city I’d want to live in right now.
