i'm not American so i'd like to ask Americans how Portland ended up with so many crazy people more than anywhere else?

A whole bunch of reasonably well off folk who couldn't afford the rent in San Francisco moved to Portland to try and have the hippy, organic free life (Only cheaper).
It became a liberal circlejerk of good intentions which were short sighted.
Shops celebrating their African-American customers wouldn't see the irony that is celebrating their African-American customers. Events highlighting same sex relationships couldn't understand that celebrating male-female relationships is equally as valid. Transwomen were placed above ciswomen in their social hierarchies.
Calling out any of this was an attack on all of it and so brought in more parasites to soak up the safety of exploiting ignorant idiocy.
Now there is just vapid non-thinking entities who attack on command.
i feel sorry for any of the sane native Portlanders that didn't want this and got a bunch of invaders ruining their home.
You forget the endless amount of homeless people. I went to Portland in 2016 (Columbia River Gorge and Smith Rock were some of the most geographical beautiful places I have ever saw), and man you can smell the homeless from the freeways, I can't imagine Portland now.
