    Well, Portland actually is, despite it's reputation among some people, a nice place to live.

    And yet, Portland is a boring place players don't like frequent.

    I'm getting mixed signals. :dunno:

    Visiting and living are two different things. When visiting, they are looking for entertainment, and that we dont have much of.
    For living they are looking for peaceful serene environment and we have plenty of that.

    The traffic is getting worse and more and more idiots are using the side of the road as a dumpster. Portland used to be a nice clean city. Not so much anymore.

    Hah, if you think Portland traffic is bad, I'm guessing you've never lived in Seattle or Southern California.

    The rain keeps things lush and green, and it beats shoveling snow (other Northern cities) or wildfires (Southern California). Plus, we have the most perfect summers I have ever seen.

    Both, but Portland is now ranked at 7th worst and Seattle 5th worse. Per capita, we suck big time.

    The rain is a compromise to the beauty.

    Portland's homeless camping anywhere they want is out of control.

    Everytime I clear the clouds and we are about to land, breathe a breath of fresh air. We live in one of the most beautiful parts of the world, let alone the country. Born and raised..... from the womb to the tomb.
