Everything about this article so Portland. Starting with getting duped by the West Coast’s fraudulent “laid back” reputation. Or that they saw some cultural jest and assumed that something as big and complicated a city could be the twee character it’s exaggerated into for effect.

The list goes on, all the way to writing a disappointed immigrant exposé in a paper like The Guardian. Classic.

And ironically all of this adds up to the fact they’ve assimilated into a typical type of Portland resident.
