Weird? No. Annoying? Yes.

A recent transplant from East coast and I find city and it’s people weirdly stupid and tolerant for obvious reasons. Beautiful city run over by homeless filth, violence and drug abuses WHICH is funded by all local taxpayers.

Do ya’all don’t check your paystubs and don’t care where your tax money are going? Free medical, dental and allowances for the zombies who contribute NOTHING to the society? 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you are unhappy here, might be best to leave. Unhoused people are people who didn’t have the same opportunities as others or who are struggling with mental health issues. Folks with your viewpoint are what has lessened the weirdness factor. That factor used to include people who paid taxes showing up and helping our community. Too many uncaring people have moved here and driven up cost of living. Which partly results in the unhoused crisis we currently have.Please move somewhere that you like and let those of us who care about others work to get community members housed fed and into the proper medical care.

Still weird. But weirdly quiet. The Covid thing is still a thing here.

Compared to “Keep Austin weird,” Portland is more weird and hasn’t “sold out” anywhere near as hard.

What makes you think it may have "sold out" and what would "sell out" may look like?

Definitely weird

Haha! Still weird. I mean, it always is. Same old weird, I guess.

Pretty much. It's still the same old weird place I grew up in. People here really know how to keep Portland weird, don't they? Lol.

I don't think it is weird at all......But I have lived here my whole life so I might be a little biased.

Would it really be considered weird if it's just regular old Portland for you? I've gotten so used to it that it hardly eber bothers me anymore. Just the same old, same old.

The mEtH is cRaZy wEiRd right now.

Still weird

How do you deal with the following - 1) lack of general organization in life, note taking, keeping track of your relationships and 2) attention to detail. These 2 things have been bothering me a lot. We all are smart as hell but silly mistakes such as spelling mistakes, broader checks to be done on the deck is killing me. Also I feel the lack of organization in personal life blows into professional as well. If you are a consultant how do u deal with it ?
