Guys, “what if a bunch of people moved to Portland who weren’t aligned with the preexisting culture as it stood” is the subtext of like everything in the real Portland for the last decade

Which involves things like “Portland identity involved elements of both working class AND petit bourgeois idealization; after new arrivals shifted the economy there was a reaction against them in the name of working-class Portland, in response to which bourgeois forces have been co-opting them with the understanding of defending Portlandishness.” That’s how these things go.
