Yeah.  Try to live east of I-205.   Pedestrians are ten pins.  Nightly shoot 'em ups.  Racially diverse and cosmopolitan neighborhoods.  No end to subsidized housing.  Lovely place full of skinny people on diet drugs.  And of course,  the endless homesteading of all public lands and parks by the homeless who are  living off the handouts and freebies from the loving left.  Pets in the Pearl live better than half the humans in Po'tland.  It's a great place to live if you have a BA in art history and a vasectomy,  a bike and a few grand in tattoos.
