Why does Portland seem to be the epitome center to all this crap ?
epitome = epicenter
Because of a large majority of college educated white liberal progressives who are vocal in their rejection of traditional values and American culture. Moms walk with their toddlers in gay pride parades in Portland. Non-conformity and alternate lifestyle of any kind is not only encouraged but exalted. Portland is more liberal than most other big cities in that respect.

Because there is so much poop in the streets of San Francisco it even freaks out the leftists...
