Brainwashed near retard level IQ right wingers like him don't like rivers, or restaurants, or bars, or neighborhoods, or parks, or architecture. Can you imagine the city of Portland putting FLUORIDE in their water? Leftist conspiracy to chem trail the population via its drinking supply.creepycoug said:
It's a city that still exists on a human scale. There are real neighborhoods that adjoin the downtown. Great parks nearby. The riverfront, decent old and interested architecture, rows of restaurants on what feel like neighborhood streets (what people in Seattle now drive to Ballard to experience), a really underrated food and bar scene. IDK, what don't you like about it that doesn't have to do with politics?DJDuck said:
You must be an ignorant nutjob lib that doesn’t have a clue about Portland and doesn’t have to live here I would guess. What do you find so great about Portland? Be specific please. I know Portland and every neighborhood in it better than anyone I have ever met. Not brag just fact.creepycoug said:Portland is a great town.
Mind you this is my hometown and it still sucks. -

Take a couple week trip to Scottsdale then come back to Portland. You’ll probably throw up within 15 minutes of being back home. -

Portland is a city run by hypocrites. Those neighborhoods have winners and losers. Where the Democrat elites favor life is great. SE neighborhoods like Foster-Powell, Lents, Brentwood Darlington, Arleta, Rockwood etc. and all of felony flats are forgotten with horrible pothole streets, failing schools and crime rates higher than other favored parts of the city.creepycoug said:

At the same time where many Elite Democrat politicians Live in the Pearl the people that bought condos there were given a break on their property taxes.
The main Anchor High School in SE Portland, Marshall even though one of the newest was chosen to close. SE Portland kids have to be bused to Franklin, Cleveland or other schools.
Why vote in Portland. The North-South light rail was turned down twice by the voters of Portland and Vancouver. Democrat Elites gave the voters the middle finger and built it anyway.
Our taxes are continually used illegally for things they weren’t meant for. They used CITY sewer funds to fund Portland Public Schools which isn’t administered by the city.
Portland passed it’s own gas tax and only a small portion goes to roads. I’m sure none of the roads in SE Portland will be fixed before the planned bike paths are finished which will be never.
Portland has a patina of civility covering bigotry, bias and favoritism towards the liberal well healed.
Portland used to be the 2nd leading dry goods port on the West Coast. Because of strikes and lack of imagination and support by politicians it is a shadow of it’s former self.
This is only touching the surface why I can’t stand my hometown.

Everyone has their own opinion and I respect yours however many opinions are based on either lack of knowledge or different priorities. For instance I don’t give a damn about any city’s restaurant or bar “scene”. I know the best restaurants and bars in Portland and none of them are probably in “the scene”.

Seattle and Portland both have homeless problems that, over the last few years, have become out of control. Same with San Francisco. They are nonetheless great cities.greenblood said:

Scottsdale is fine; I could never spend two weeks there though. -
I could easily be immune to all this hypocrisy and bias but it just doesn’t sit right with us and I don’t care whether it happens in other cities.
We could just ignore it because we are blessed to live in one of the great parts of the city which is wonderful for families. We live in Vermont Hills (Hayhurst Neighborhood) where I actually grew up. Washington County and Beaverton are only a few blocks away. Alpenrose Dairy is only a block away. It doesn’t feel like you live in a city here. -

Well, yeah, I don't live there so those issues aren't top of mind for me. I'm just telling you it's a city I've historically liked when visiting. And there are always winners and losers in American society. I can't think of a city I like that doesn't have shit-hole parts of town. Seattle has a lot of the same issues you outline; and while I live here and a lot of them bother me, it's still a great city by my measure. As you said, it's about priorities. There are some redeeming qualities to Memphis, but the bad far outweighs the good, for me, so I don't score that place very highly. Depends on what you care about.DJDuck said:Everyone has their own opinion and I respect yours however many opinions are based on either lack of knowledge or different priorities.

I will acknowledge that it appears to be a place where it's very easy to live like a fat cat. That's appealing.dnc said:
