Portland Is Better Than Your City
Portland is getting a lot of praise from young urbanites seeking a creative, hip, affordable city. It’s got a flat, bike-friendly terrain and efficient mass transit, and a buzzing music and art scene that the New York Times writes about once a month (or so it seems). The food and coffee are good too.
Masses of kids with liberal arts degrees are moving there, and probably making your coffee or serving your beer, since there aren’t enough companies there to provide work for kids with degrees in Russian literature. But that’s okay, because their band is better than yours.
