I recently went to Portland with my family for New Years. I'm not articulate enough to express the city but it boils down to the idea of a high end fashion brand store or restaurant with a complex modern Gay flag flying (see pic) above it's entrance all the while homeless camp on the side walks. They wonder around with their underwear at their ankles screaming and stumbling as they walk like they are zombies. I went into a mall to look around and there was more security personnel than customers. All the stores had someone who would let people in along with the security. All smiling sales women trying to get my mom to buy garbage. Some were obvious diversity hires with hijabs and the like. I hate that city. It only looks good if you don't look at the streets. Every corner had a homeless and the ones that don't, have weirdos with more metal on their faces than tattoos on their arms. The parks and wilderness around the city was great though.
