How about Vancouver, WA? (Across from Portland, not the city in Canada.) I’m thinking of checking it out.

- tjr225 8y agoVancouver is most notably home to white supremacy/far right groups. Also, the very thought of commuting across the Columbia river is enough to drive me crazy.
- canhascodez 8y agoThere's not a lot of "there" there, in my experience. What do you think you'd like about the place?
- abecedarius 8y agoSeveral double negatives: 1. No state income tax. 2. Not-preposterous rents. 3. Not-terrible climate? 4. It's still an actual city, I guess? What I'd ideally want is Los Angeles weather with something like New Hampshire government. Doesn't seem to be on offer.
- canhascodez 8y agoClassifying Vancouver as an "actual city" makes me wonder about that qualification. I think that in many ways it's simply a suburb of Portland. The climate isn't that bad, but it's a lot closer to Seattle than Los Angeles. Alaska's a pretty cool place. Just as long as I don't have to live there, I mean.
