So... most things in the world?

I get it, I grew up in a small town and this feels like straight townie-ism to me.

Portland people who hate CA transplants have the same mindset as SF people who hate "techies" who have the same mindset as Red Americans who hate immigrants. There are always some cultural differences people point to (they are raising prices!/taking jobs!/crappy people!/more traffic!) but it is really just a form of territorial pissing that dumps negativity on individuals for societal shifts.

I went to college in Arizona in the 90s, and got the impression a large number of people were annoyed by newcomers from CA.
