“Portland is a city on the fringe, on the periphery, in many ways. It is a place where things can happen in basements and small workshops. The barriers to entry here are low, and there is a flexible and open local market. You can mess around for a while, and there is a receptiveness to experiment. That’s why cities on the fringe will be more and more important in the future—because they will be the places where people are able to experiment.”
