Look, I get it, as a transplant to Portland 12 years ago, I am not welcome here. I get where that comes from, a lot of things are changing fast. But my immediate neighbors, and folks I bump into out and about, work super hard to not make eye contact, much less offer a fake little smile and nod. So I guess I just donât give a shit about whatâs happening to âyourâ community anymore. Alienating your neighbors and buying into ruling class ideology of American individualism isnât gonna go so well for you when shit starts getting weird. Good luck with that, donât expect help when you donât even know my name!
