Portland is composed of transplants

I am an oregon native, from eastern oregon and have been living portland for five years. I have met alot of people and most of these hipsters that you speak of are actually transplants from california or the midwest. I feel like Portland is home. I like the size and would not feel very comfortable living somewhere larger. I am educated, classy, and cultured. So alot of these "portlanders" are actually those who want to rebel and move from the midwest or wherever. They feel like they fit it in, cause there views are so "different" and "unique." Half if not more of the new hires at my work are from california.
