3 cities in Florida ahead of Portland as well.

Constantly removing car lanes around the city for triple wide side walks and bike lanes.

That bugs the fuck out of me. They're doing it to Division (well, not not bike lanes as much as curbs now in the right lane, where parking will now be and then a bike lane).

so fucking dumb.
 
Alabama? Not if you are female, Black, LGBTQ or like culture. And horrible weather. Thank you, I am staying in California.
 
I’ve actually heard great things about Huntsville, AL. Not that anywhere in AL is progressive, but it is the most progressive. A Portland hippie friend that lived there lived it. Says he used to meet a lot of foreigners living there for NASA and related industry.

That being said, you’ll never convince me anywhere in Alabama (if not the entire south) is the best place to live in America.

Sorry Dog. Any ranking list that has Alabama as the #1 place to live is not a good list.

Have you ever been there? Huntsville is a pretty cool city.

Beats Molalla.

There are not-so-great places everywhere. Admittedly, the South does get quite the negative stigma. That said, I've really enjoyed living here. One thing's for absolute sure: The roads are significantly in better shape than those in Oregon. I've been through Alabama quite often. Never lived there, but it's a very pretty state. As the article states, Huntsville has a lot going for it. Not suprising it made the list. Tops, for that matter.

You know this “Molalla” thing is kind of funny.
Recently my brother moved out there and a few other friends of mine have as well. They are all fairly progressive and starting to bug the Trump supporters. My brother is flying a Biden/Harris flag in his front yard.
Kind of funny because Clackamas County is going more and more Blue every year.

Understood. Yeah, Mollala always got a bad rap when I lived in Oregon. My Nephew and his family live in Carus. They're staunch MAGA/Republicans. Not certain how things are going for them in that regard. I don't talk politics with him as I've pulled away from Trump.

I really enjoyed kicking the piss out of the Molalla boys basketball, football, and baseball teams. I can't remember losing a single game to them.

I don't remember losing to them either, but I went to Oregon City and it's a 6A school (actually 4A was the top division when I went there). I think Molalla is a 4A now, but was something like 2A at the time...
 
Alabama was an okay place to visit, Mobile in particular. But I found the (white) people to be strangely defensive around "outsiders". I sat in a Mobile bar one night having a nice chat with a local.......until he found out I was from the PDX area (this was in the spring of '17 when the antifa assholes had their big tantrum/meltdown). Then the "conversation" took a hard turn into victimhood and a rant about how the "West Coast Liberals" looked down on southerners in general and Alabamans in particular, blah, blah, blah. It was bizarre. I never brought up politics (nor had any intention of doing so). I simply answered the man's question of where I was from. And I found the same kind of victimhood in other places in the south where I traveled. Personally, the only time I get defensive is when I know I'm wrong........or doing the wrong thing. But the deeper I went in the south, the more unfriendly and defensive I found the residents to "outsiders". Just one man's experience.
 
I remember every year at the start of wrestling season there would be a match between Gladstone and Oregon City and for some reason there would always be a couple of dads fighting in the parking lot. It was the only sport Gladstone played OC in since we were a lot smaller.

My wife was OCHS Class of '72. And OC sucked at pretty much every sport back then......or so her yearbooks indicate......

They were 3A before reclassification, but on the smaller side for their conference. Not sure what they are now, but my HS was only 100 or so students larger. They just sucked at sports.
 
I'm waiting for the "Best 4 block neighborhood to live in polls to come out" .....where can you find 4 blocks of completely good, trustworthy, honest neighbors?

I went to LaSalle when it was brand new. My freshman year was our first year of varsity sports, so that went about as well as you can imagine. Thankfully, Molalla (among others) was in our conference so our teams never went winless.......

My greatest high school sports memory was beating La Salle in basketball in their Brick Oven. They hadn't lost at home in years.
