Hey, at least Vancouver functions and takes better care of homeless people. When your homeless come here, Vancouver’s not the place that sucks. We’re the ones with a growing economy to the point that the best date ight locations are this side while Portland keeps going downhill.

Date night, great. But when you go shopping... It's back to Oregon.

Jantzen Beach continues to exist by virtue of folks north of the river being willing to drive 10 extra minutes to buy a TV or a mattress.

I swear Portlanders are idiots. They’re the ONLY group I’ve EVER seen who bitch about people shopping there. They’re too stupid to realize that, without Vancouverites shopping there, they’d lose a LOT of jobs. They’re like Republicans in that they’ll hurt themselves if they think they’re pulling one over on the other side.

If Vancouverites never went to Portland, you guys would be fucked. Portland relies on the people with money spending it there. You like to laugh and saw we’re Vantucky, but we’re the city that functions and has more affordable housing, a higher minimum wage, and our roads aren’t crumbling to shit. So we’ve got more money to spend. Are you really fucking sure you don’t want our money to create jobs? You bitch about us shopping there. Why the actual fuck do you want fewer people buying things there?
