The other thing about a small town is, if you did break the window in a StarryBucks (lets just pretend it existed) by the time that person got home, their parents would be talking to them about the busted window and how they would be fixing it. Even before the internet, the network in a small town is quite extensive.

That said, Portland.
What Portland is losing fastest, that they have no idea is leaving is tradesmen.
When you have a very physical skill like plumbing, and you know how to do it
You can find yourself a new job in a new place quickly.

And when you are hands-on, you are usually more conservative leaning.
So, the ones who see the writing on the wall and get out are the tradesmen.

Enjoy your 6 month waiting list to see a plumber Portland.

Maybe that is why people are pooping in the streets in SF? :-p
