Portland is an elite city

Portland is leading the way in the future and is a city at the forefront of the worlds environmental struggle. The city has delved its roots deep in its culture. "The environment is also the main theme of public policy." The city is forward-looking and a visionary of community development to accommodate our future population growth. A good article explaining the problem of reproduction is called the Tragedy of the Commons

The city's nature has been a major attraction for single individuals and the city's "Keep Portland WEIRD" bumper stickers promote creative individualism or is a nice welcoming to all. This seems weird, how can a bumper sticker promote community? Well, It brings the community together under one saying, which is promoted even on banners and is said in local newspapers and is in every other part of the city's meaning and culture.

Portland is a trendy, hip place, with a city design that reduces urban sprawl and promotes community in each person's living area. It keeps clutter minimized in the urban areas and has a record of innovation among American cities. It is setting a new standard to guide other cities constantly developing and growing.
