Portland is a fad; for you, and those that have followed your path the past 15 years. Yes, people migrate but why the large recent influx? Portland's been here a long time. The motive is the point. And the OP nailed it. Nothing to raise your hackles over. Your acceptance is not required for it to be so.

And yet idiot tourists and transplants line up around the block in Portland for stale, tired…donuts.

"if you like our culture so much, why don't you BUILD a culture like ours in your own backyards!"

Nailed it with the "lifestyle accessory" comment. And the hater transplants know it. They think moving here is going to fix their miserable lives.

Funny, I'm always saying how Albuquerque is going to be the next place.

You're not taking anything. You'll bitch about how the sushi isn't as good as back home or some such and go back from whence you slithered. See it all the time.

I don't know if that is how it was aimed, but I would agree that this place has gotten really stupid over the past decade due to the douches who've moved here.
