Anyone interested in doing a comparison / contrast / general discussion of Vancouver, Canada (where I am from) and your city, Portland?
I ask this because both cities have almost the exact same metro population, are known for their liveability, and have similar weather. (yours is a bit better, BTW !)
I think that perhaps housing, transit, and other socio-economic issues that both cities are dealing with would be interesting to look at, given the parallels between the two cities.
They're both great places, each in their own way. (Seattle? Let it remain the Big Boy of Cascadia!!!)
