What I am wondering about is what makes Portland special out of all the cities in America. It seems to me that there's proportionally far more anarchists in Portland than elsewhere.

Portland is a weird place. There are people from all walks of life living there. Liberal normies, liberal weirdos, conservative farmers from the surrounding areas, retired gang members from 80's California, heat-wave migrants from Arizona trying to escape the desert, wannabe musicians from the Midwest galore, and lots of homeless folk. More homeless than I've ever seen anywhere, except for parts of California and Florida which were basically bum-towns.

Portland must be a favorite testing site for the elite. There are a lot of demographics represented in the Portland populace.

I really miss Lowami, a specific area/park. Caught right in the suburbs, a patch of old forest and running water. It's too bad Portland is a hotspot for weirdos and idealogical bootlickers. I enjoyed my time there.

Interesting. I didn't realise that Portland had a homeless problem too, I was under the impression that it was a successful, white collar, middle class city.
