You wouldn't know it from Portlandia or the crazy Travel Portland YouTube videos, but PDX has lots of poverty and lots of people in poverty. They're all on 82nd and beyond the 205, areas tony Portlanders don't visit. The Pearlites and other organic-munching kinda-liberals have officially told the poor schmucks on 82nd to suck their bleached balls. Want fluoridation to prevent your Poor People Problems? Fuck no. Want pretty ponies to wander our clean Pearl streets to entertain us? Fuck yes; sign us up for $200K. It's fun to think we're progressive so long as we don't much have to think of poor, needy people so much as people who like to eat organic and wear Danskos. PDX, you disappointed today.
