I'm not from California, but I moved there once for two years. And when I came back, I came back with a California license. The treatment I received from people when I presented it to them was horrid. This was before Covid, during the height of Portland's "go back to where you came from" attitude (sound familiar?). I thought things had changed after 2020, but I'm disappointed to learn that this still happening to people, although to a lesser extent. I'm not even talking about transplant tech bros, or the ultra rich. I'm talking about regular people from CA who struggle, love Portland, contribute to Portland, and don't even like California. If you hate these people simply because you don't like where they came from and have preconceived notions about them because of where they came from, then you're just like every other xenophobe out there, not the cool Portlander you think you are. And I will remember who you are.
