I will say, Portland seems like a cool place....no sales tax (but higher RE) -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 8, 17:13 3
- (soapbox) no sales tax, no income tax, no (whatever) tax is attractive on the surface, but you have to fund your government somehow. - ty97 Aug 8, 17:16 2
  - funding your state gov on sales taxes though is a roller coaster as you go from boom/recession, now WA will strangle itself with Iman tax law - zeitgeist Aug 8, 17:22 1
    - Not to mention it's an inherently regressive tax structure -- nm - znufrii Aug 8, 19:15

  - What does your blood type have to do with living in Portland? -- nm - Bacon Aug 8, 18:56
  - I am not Type A - ty97 Aug 8, 17:24
- I'd choose Sand Diego if I went west. Then SF -- nm - CQ Aug 8, 17:02 3
  - Never been, on the list of places I need to visit. - ty97 Aug 8, 17:03 2
    - Vegas is the farthest west I've been, but a buddy of mine lived there for some years. loved it -- nm - CQ Aug 8, 17:09 1
      - I have been to LA, SF, PDX and SEA which is (except SD) basically the west coast cities (that cost is small) - ty97 Aug 8, 17:14

        Not with this governor but maybe the next. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 18:45
  - Oh and Ty. I have lived in both places. You chose wisely. SFO traffic and cost of living kill that place for me -- nm - Bacon Aug 8, 16:44 18
    - If you live IN san fran then you can walk to work or take the underground metro/bart system. Its the commuters that live across the bridges w/traffic - zeitgeist Aug 8, 17:04
    - I work from home. And I live in (spoilers) - ty97 Aug 8, 16:45 16
      - Just saying, moving to SF would still cost less. - ty97 Aug 8, 16:47 15
        
        IIRC, rents in San Fran are as high as NYC -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 8, 17:14 1
        
        SF is higher than Manhattan. NYC overall is higher than SF. - ty97 Aug 8, 17:16
        
        PDX does feel like how you guys talk about New York without the congestion. Just the lifestyle sounds alike -- nm - Bacon Aug 8, 16:48 12
        
        I am sure the fact that PDX looks a lot like the downstate NY area I grew up in is part of why I love it. - ty97 Aug 8, 16:50 11
        
        Oh we have traffic for sure. Nothing like SFO though. Ours you talk about delays in minutes, there it's talked about in hours -- nm - Bacon Aug 8, 16:53 10
        
        But in SFO I could live near a transit station and not own a car. - ty97 Aug 8, 16:56 9
        
        downtown, mission, north beach, pac heights, cow hollow have great transp, outer sunset richmond adds 20m but yes - zeitgeist Aug 8, 17:12
        
        My wife commutes to work with public transit and we are down to being a 1 car family. - Bacon Aug 8, 17:00 1
        
        If I placed myself correctly, I could probably avail myself of one of the (two?) light rail lines, that's true. -- nm - ty97 Aug 8, 17:01
        
        Portland has transit -- nm - znufrii Aug 8, 16:59 5
        
        meh - ty97 Aug 8, 17:00 4
        
        You have used the Light Rail system? Or just the bus? -- nm - Bacon Aug 8, 17:01 3
        
        I recall riding the light rail to and/or from the airport - ty97 Aug 8, 17:02 2
        
        Our Light Rail system is adding a brand new leg out to Southeast. Should be up in the next 6 months -- nm - Bacon Aug 8, 17:05 1
        
        That's cool -- (link) - ty97 Aug 8, 17:31
