Do you realize all major cities get moved to?

Please get over yourself and this intolerance of people moving to "your" city. It is still difficult for me to comprehend why a large portion of people from Portland and the surrounding area are so hostile to people that move here.

I have never in my life received so much hate and backlash from people until I moved to Portland (from Eugene Oregon and before that California). I have lived in oregon for 8 years and I loved it. I spent the majority of it in Eugene and was welcomed with some slight jokes about coming from California. Then I moved to Portland 2 years ago and was met with some hostility. The most memorable being the time my neighbor told me and my roommates to crawl back to cesspool we came from (a few of us are originally from out of state and have lived around oregon for awhile). When meeting our neighbors when we moved in we passably mentioned it. And the reason for this response was bc one of our cars was parked on a public street in front of their home despite the fact that there was plenty of space still in front for then to park. It was completely disconcerting and unsettling that the people we lived next to lashed out at us in that way due to the fact a few of us were not born in Oregon.

So in closing I want to say this: we don't need your welcome and approval, you are not the person that dictates who stays and who goes in a city of 2.4 million people. This city is for everyone, so stop this exclusion bs that some portlanders wear as a point of pride. It is a growing city, like most are. your anti immigration sentiment is not necessary. Some "true portlanders" reaction to people moving here is bordering on racist and violent. It needs to stop, Portland is a place where people move for tolerance, for acceptance, for the "culture". Get over it.
