Review of Portland, Oregon


Portland sucks
Star Rating - 1/26/2006
Portland is not great at all, especially the HIDEOUS showers that take place most of the year. The summers are awful, two months of sunshine at most. I've lived here practically all my life and CAN'T WAIT to get out. This is a good place for outdoorsy people who don't like to dress up to go out. And the housing prices have shot up, unreasonable for an unimportant town like Portland. The worst part of it all though, is how liberal it is. I can't imagine Boston being more liberal than Portland. I go to PSU, and all the professors and students will tear you up if you're not liberal. EVERYTHING is acceptable.

I moved here two years and it is pretty miserable. I am working two jobs and it rains endlessly. Please do not move here. It really sucks.
