2) Boulder, Colorado (I have lived here and know it pretty well)
3) Seattle (I have visited)
4) Portland (never been)Insights please into what living in these places is like.

I've heard great things about Portland. The only bad is junkie gutter punks.

I am an alien in this thread. That's why I said Portland. Uber needs trees. Trees can turn you into a nice man.

Portland is overrated
1. the weather is depressing,
2. they have an unemployment rate way above the national average, (12% vs 9% nation wide)
3. the city is 'almost' completely gentrified. (which is lame, unless you like having Starbucks and 'decor' shops on every corner.)
4. there is not really that much to do, compared to other cities of the same size.

be wary of danah boyd's definition of 'hot womyn's'.
be very wary.

Somewhere where they don't have internet would be great Llyod. See what you can do.

hey xcarlx,
#1really, the weather? you live in/or are from in one of the unhealthiest shitholes in the US, please don't talk about the weather, have fun driving to work.i will agree with you on #2 to an extent.
#3 You should consider going to other parts of the city you may have "thought" you visited. for example, i have a house in north portland, and I am pretty sure the hardcore gay bar down the street and gang violence on Lombard are not what is hype in gentrification.
Number 4? seriously? get a clue. You are from or live in LA, that place is full of shit, masquerading as something to do, but is seriously full of farts, brownouts and reality tv hopefuls. You guys do have good comedy clubs going for you, but thats about it.
