3:25 thats why. I've lived in Oregon for 31 years. sensitive people live here and everyone is offended by everything. lots of portlanders think they are entitled; doesn't have anything to do with race but in general people think they are entitled. We have the naked bike rides, pot smokers EVERYWHERE .the dude who dresses in silver and stands still as a statue. People who don't vote but feel the need to go protest since they didn't get their way. :( but then we have generous people here who will share their umbrella with you when crossing the street. people who fight to keep the city from breaking down homes they don't own. some times I really hate this place and sometimes I really love it .

The first thing I noticed when I moved to Portland was seeing women walking around alone at night in the neighborhoods. That was seven years ago. That may have changed, but I got the sense of it being much safer than any other city on the West coast. Talking to people who have lived there a long time, there is a mix of strong localism and progressive idealism. For example, SE and NE 39th Avenue was renamed Cesar Chavez Boulevard, but the locals, most of whom are very Progressive, still like to call it 39th Ave. There is also a very strong do-it-yourself ethos where people re-cycle a lot of old things and make them new. Another thing I learned is that the city has a very well defined addressing system. All of the addresses are numbered odd and even according to a simple formula. The way to remember it is, 'all the odd people live in the Northwest.' This means addresses that are odd-numbered are going to be either on the north side or the west side of the street depending on which way the street runs. The even-numbered addresses are always on the south or east sides. Culturally the area has gone through some rapid changes in the last 30 years and I suspect many people have not fully caught up to them. As late as the 1980s there were still some Jim Crow-style laws that were still on the state books. Oregon was slow to adapt to people of different races and cultures, but Portland has become a magnet for several cultures within a short time. The liberal majority has tried to embrace it, but in some cases I witnessed they weren't sure how to relate to these people.

To me it is not only Portland. I'd say the entire Pacific northwest has lots of smaller cities (compared to others worldwide like LA, NY, London, Paris etc) and they all have small but very authentic produce overall. Great food, culture lifestyle. People are more relaxed, there is less pressure and less judgement. People learn to live with different types of cultures and learn the good stuff from each other, focusing on the good, ignoring the bad. People seem happy and good stuff comes out of this places. I love the Pacific Northwest!

Overall, Portlanders are TOO liberal. It's almost a caricature of indoctrination. Also, "weird" is widely subjective. As I've gotten older, I find it weird when people set out to be "weird" because somehow just being their own unique self (without the silly hipster shwag) isn't special enough. I think it's important to have strong instincts as to what is authentic and what is trendy/hipster silliness...which Portland has in spades.

***** I definitely don't use Californian and yuppie in the same sentence, I mean anyone who comes in (as in NE/North Portland) overtly redlining and unapologetically misplacing a whole community, completely ignoring it's existence due to a narrowminded desire to capitalize on the product, ruining all cultural diversity, and the possibility of expanding on it or offering something to it, and consequently ruining a culture's existence by making it a members' only club where no one else but the classist, racist, dull as dishwater clones who fancy themselves ever so democratic and cultured can afford.... it happened in San Francisco in the 90s, it happened in Seattle in the early 2000s, and now here. What happened, tons of vacant houses and empty condos.. Greed is a model that didn't work, can't work, and isn't going to work no matter how LEED or green an angle you want to dress it up with.

Q: so whats the chronology of Weird Portland? A: it starts with THE WIPERS and all the scene descended from them from 1975 on. Ice 9, Systematic, Trap, Tombstone, Theater of Sheep, Babes In Toyland, Hole, Nirvana, Heatmiser, Quasi, Spin Age Blasters, Glass Candy and the Shattered Theater, the Clorox Girls - the X-Ray Cafe - Aural Fixation - the Meow Meow - The Mercury and AB SAB the Student Activities department of PSU - KBOO - Powells - Voodoo Donuts (where the Bacon and Maple Barr is named for me and Maple and our obsession with "Roseanne"), our Girl/Boy Interrupted 2000 Riot Girl campaign also known as LISA ROWE ROWE ROWE YR BOAT TO SAVE DAISY in which I was LISA'S ROWE'S BOYFRIEND - our never-ended DALLAS scene drama - DIAMOND TUCK, SILVERKINGS, DISCOURAGE ROCK N ROLL and the bands who continued the EXPLODING HEARTS - The Nice Boys, Slan, and The Neat - then SEWERS OF PARIS and ITALIANS DO IT BETTER. KEEP PORTLAND WEIRD commemorates the same thing AN INSTANT ATTRACTION does - Johnny Jewel coming up from Texas after the Geto Boys blew up to meet Ida at Fred Meyers in 1996 where I was his Courtesy Clerk, yr Boy Courtney of FRINGE WEIRD - PAGAN MAGIC PROJECT MAYHEM and the ALIEN BOYS. Here's to 2021 that we KEEP PORTLAND WEIRD and working.

portland is an area of the us where people are able to embrace their differences rather than being criticized for them. some states where you may be easily criticized for acting outside the societal norms would include the whole "bible belt".

"Weird" is what people who want everyone to look and act just like them, call those who don't. It is a chicken-shit term used by chicken-shit people who are uncomfortable with differences, to put down anyone who brings those feelings of discomfort to the surface.

Seems as if Portland is considered weird because of the freedom and liberties that are common compared to the rest of the U.S. I've never been, just an outsiders take. The people of Portland expect liberty and therefore demand it. The rest of the country should take a lesson.

I've been around the world twice, visited 14 countries and most of the 50 states. Lived in California, the southeast and southwest U.S. for 12 years combined... Born and raised in Oregon, worked in Portland for 7 years... Yes, Portland is weird and inhospitable for the most part. Too many entitled people. Too many drug users and abusers. Too many people unashamed to live off the efforts of others.
