Nobody in human history influenced the geographical location of their mother's womb. And the fact you fell out of mommy in the Rose City and suffered through the decades when this place was a low-rent shithole is utterly unimpressive.

I've been here almost 40 years, and would trade a dozen of these entitled so-called natives for somebody with the imagination to move here. Transplants bring dreams and excitement and make this city better. Droning assholes who wax philosophical about the days when The Pearl was a Burlington Northern rail-yard contribute nothing but the sound of their own stale words.
