the people in pdx... hmm, well they can be assholes in the "pearl district" and the crazy people, homeless and crack dealers are in "old town/chinatown" and they can be funny at times, but also dangerous... the people downtown are kind of neutral. there are tons of hipsters in the hawthorne/belmont area and it's kind of half and half there... half asshole hipsters, and half decently nice people. people think portland is so racially diverse, but in my opinion, the races here are so segregrated. like all the white people are mostly in the downtown/pearl area, and the black people reside in the NE, and the asian community is in beaverton and hillsboro. I always wondered why this is. this is one thing that really bugs me. also, the graphic design market here is soooo oversaturated. way too many designers and artists and not enough jobs. that's why the design salary is so low, and a lot of big design agencies have picked up on this and made a home in portland just to outsource their work to contractors or smaller boutique design studios for a shitty rate. just my 2 cents though.

- electromuzak, I'm sensing a pessimistic tone to your posts.arthur
- the black people in the NE? LMAO! Are you really from here?fugged
- born and raised in portland and lived between hawthorne and belmont most of my life. and yes, most of the black community resides in the NE, and is scattered about in old town/chinatown. obviously it's not set in stone, but with my experience (and i'm still living in PDX) this is still the case.elektromuzak
- community resides in NE and scattered in old town/chinatown. as the portland population grows, i'm sure it will slowly become more diverse and neighborhoods will converge.elektromuzak
- slowly become more diverse and neighborhoods will converge. But for now, this is how things are and I've lived in pdx my whole life.elektromuzak
