Fleeing the bay area for Portland seems to be a fairly popular 'change of pace' move.
Would it be reasonable to ask you to write a comparison of the two? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be interested in a first-hand comparison as both are popular techy destinations but seem like fundamentally different cities.
- thesethings 17y agoMy only hesitation at comparing the two is that as I hinted at above, so much is influenced by where you're at in life, unrelated to city. If I can find a way to discuss this abstractly, I for sure will. For now, you can crawl through my HN comments, where I've talked about Portland a bit. Here i did a bit of a comparison of SF/PDX, though it was mostly about Portland: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=733073 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=733073
- chrisrhee 17y agoCoincidentally, I left the bay area for Portland -- just got here 4 days ago. The past 20 years, I lived in Campbell, San Jose and Oakland. After visiting Portland for a week of vacation, I signed a lease on a loft up north. Not sure if I've taken in enough of the new city to write an in-depth comparison. But if there's anything you want to ask, feel free.
