Forgot to note, for folks who don’t know… “Standard CEO” means the CEO of Standard Insurance. One of the largest employers in downtown Portland.

Yeah 25% of Oregon lives in the area surrounding Portland. So that definitely isn’t true. The people who believe it’s in fire are the Republicans in rural Oregon and honestly fuck all of them. They are racists with a huge Nazi problem and want to return Oregon to being a white only state like it was. 20 years ago 30% of Oregon voted to keep the black exclusionary laws in the state constitution.
Even 95% doesn’t wreck my argument. Most folks who live “in the area surrounding Portland” never go downtown (by which I just mean inner west side, not the literal neighborhood). How many folks who live in Gladstone or Estacada are spending their free time at Powell’s or Yamhill Pub?
That said, I absolutely agree with everything else you said.
