Today I realized that if I was forced to move to the West Coast, I would move to Portland. (runner-up: SF).

I'd never go West of course, but if I did, that's where I would go.

Responses:

I've been, I enjoyed vacationing there. But as a type A I could never live there. -- nm - MDH Aug 8, 17:21 3
- Just wait until you're 35 and burned out! -- nm - Roger More Aug 8, 19:40
- 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
Get in line behind Krusty. He's coming out here soon soon soon -- nm - Bacon Aug 8, 16:42 24
- My gf would have us there yesterday if possible. - Krusty Aug 8, 17:05 4
  - pot...is....LEGAL for recreational use, no 'doc it hurts when I do this' excuses needed -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 8, 17:31 3
    - It's a huge bonus/selling point. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 17:55 2
      - it's only a matter of time in ny....nm - x Aug 8, 18:18 1
        
        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
