That title should read: Will Portland always be a place for hipster douchebags that would rather not work?

Portland has one of the highest number of people who graduated from college, yet work as a Barrista. Or like the focus of the article, he hasn't a job to speak of.

San Francisco used to have a bit of this vibe, but boy has that disappeared the past 10 years or so.
Now if you don't have a top flight degree and work for a tech company you basically cannot afford to live in San Francisco. Point being, I'd rather it was a bit more like Portland right about now.

Still, from Tijuana straight up to Juneau, the West Coast is aces in my book. Great weather, great people, great culture. :00hour

It's funny you mention that - Portland OR was named after Portland ME. The two guys who founded the original settlement were from Portland ME and Boston MA. They flipped a coin on what to name it. We almost had a west coast Boston.

So in conclusion, Portland is better than Detroit and Kentucky.

On the course!
Is it possible to ban The Boys from this thread? I know he started this fucking gem, but he's no better than an arsonist starting a fire.

He baits that dumb ass Joker in every time with some smarmy shit, and then when he replies back.......we always get the Andy Alzheimer's routine, followed by the crying to Jack and IE.

Next, we'll get the 200th, "You two better knock it off" speech, or the 101st, "This is the last time".

I lived in Campbell River BC. Beautiful place, but constant rain.

I will take Key Largo any day of the week.
