    It's funny how you can find magazines that say we're a great place to live, and others saying we're the least manly, most suicidal city in the union.

    Monocle is kind of a stuffy, yuppie type of magazine. They probably based their poll on someone living in the Pearl District or some other "revitalized" neighborhood. They probably left out a majority of the slummy parts of town.

    The statistics for suicides are greatly increased due to the assisted suicide law that Oregon has.

    I have to disagree with Honolulu located as high as 13th. Even above Vancouver? Nice place to visit, but I can't wait to move back home.

    Well, Beaverton isn't technically part of Portland.
