Not sure what haranguing means (scratch that, learned a new word today), yeah, that is pretty much it. I moved away from suburbia hell, then moved to Spokane for a couple years before ending up here. My original plan was to move to Seattle years ago, but instead I went to Portland. I didn't come here and complain about how Portland wasn't like the suburbia hell I moved away from, I celebrated that Portland was everything I wished a city could be.
I don't care where someone is from if they move here to become a Portlander and an Oregonian, and celebrate all that makes this city, metro, and state great. I say we don't need Portland to be like where someone moved away from or they wouldn't have moved away in the first place.
