In Cities and Ambition, essayist and hacker extraordanaire Paul Graham puts forward the idea that a city sends cues to its inhabitants on how to behave and what to strive for: New York says you should be richer, Cambridge says you should be smarter, etc.

For me, I think Portland tells its citizens that they should improve themselves. We should be greener, we should be more active, we should be weirder.
What do you think?

I think it says you should smoke some herb and chillax.
Actually, April had a good comment: Portland tells you to be more progressive.
