It's "Angeleno," dipshit faker. Nice try though. Also, unlike Portland, LA welcomes everyone.

If it is so awesome, you are welcome to move back there.

This is satire, right? I mean what else could it be? Why else would it be on an anonymous thread in on a Portland website and publication?

If not then yeah I'm sure there aren't any yuppies in Los Angeles, California, the state with the most Yuppies per capita. It's not at all like Portland received a massive influx of Californian transplants that flipped the whole city upside down. What am I thinking?

You appear to be correct Glassycans. It seems someone formerly from LA doesn't like that we don't welcome them as a whole with open arms. I've a key to the city for this one, and I'd run it up and down their car if I ever met them. Though I suspect the car didn't actually get keyed as was mentioned in the I'Anon. They probably just drove too close to a tree as they didn't know what it was, and scratched it themselves.

I grew up in Portland but have spent plenty of time in LA. LA welcomes Portlanders (and people from everywhere else), while Portland is embarrassingly xenophobic. Fortunately this problem is being solved by the influx of new people with better attitudes.

IA is clearly fake. Trolling = yawn.

I don't call richer white people diversity, Flavio Suave. LA welcomes everyone because they are all from someplace else, except the parts of LA that people don't move to.

I'd be down for some actual diversity of people and ideas. But the people who are moving here are only different inasmuch as they have money and don't like the ideas of the people who already live here.

I think if Portland weren't so xenophobic and didn't have such a horribly racist past, we'd also get a lot of rich non-white people too!

Because California doesnt have a racist past? Or present?

California is 36% white, Oregon is 76% white. I'd say that's quite the gap, if we're just talking the present.

Alameda County and Solano County in California are two of the five most racially diverse counties in the U.S.

Yes, a diverse populate excludes any possibility of racism past or present in California *eye roll*. And there definitely isn't any racism in the South Eastern United States, either.

If only these diverse populations were established due to the welcoming attitude of the locals. Instead historic populations in these areas were established by territorial invasion and slavery, while modern populations are more likely to be from familial/cultural ties and industrial labor.

Now, let's look at the Southern Poverty Law Center Hate Map, presently there seems to be more hate in California than Oregon.

My point is, these things have less of an impact on why people are moving to Portland, or California for that matter, than say jobs or social infrastructure. But when a job market is tight and housing is expensive, guess who moves there.
