Keep in mind that everyone who moves to Portland is required by law to get multiple tasteless tattoos and vote either Democratic, Green or Libertarian. Absent a valid medical restriction, you'll be required to adopt a vegan diet. Men and women are required to grow beards, but women who are unable to do so may substitute a visible mustache or sufficient nether hair to protrude beyond the undergarments. There's talk of submitting new Californian migrants to lottery-selected, state-funded sex reassignment surgery. And next year the speed limit for cars on every street in the city will be 15 mph, or 10 mph on designated bicycle routes. Please line up at the border for your tattoo and lottery ticket.
