It's a great place to visit, and we certainly encourage and welcome tourists. But please, for the love of Pabst, STOP. MOVING. TO. PORTLAND.  There are SO many other very nice towns with good beer and coffee and hipsters and the like. Pick one of them. Otherwise, Portland will soon be an overpriced cultural wasteland like San Francisco. And we all know what happened to San Francisco. 5 sad, smelly people splitting the rent on a $3k/month studio, just praying that their pointless new app will be the next Uber. Fuuuuck that shit. All the artists and musicians and weirdos and handsome, well-coiffed writers (yes, even me) will be gone, and all that will be left are programmers, destitute former food truck operators, overworked advertising monkeys, and that one tech billionaire who keeps raping everybody and getting away with it because nobody has the stones to stand up and call him out.
