quality of life

I have lived in Portland since 1979 as a young man. Growing up here was an adventure. By 19 I was scuba diving the coasts, skydiving, skiing the mountains, and living the outdoor life. It has not changed, I have since enjoyed teaching windsurfing, and teaching scuba diving. Politics? I just live the way I want regardless of who is in office. Religion? Same thing.
Growth? Well of course it has happened and things are a little crowded, but it is easy to like living here especially if you like outdoor life.
Traffic? Not so good now, but better than other big cities. Crime? The rate per population is the same as 1950, but the news reporting makes it seem to be more.
