If my bank account was infinite, I think I would have moved to SF. But because I haven't actually *lived* there, I can't say for sure if I would grow to hate it. The parking situation would drive me insane, that's for sure. But there's so many places to go hang out at (I've grown to love going to bars), and things to do, and places to go shop (Amoeba, I miss you!!!). I know Portland doesn't even begin to compare to SF, but here I feel like I have the best of both worlds: I can go to a bar and have fun, I can go see a band whenever I want, go see an indie flick, and have peace and quiet when I feel like it too. And if I were ever so inclined to go on a hike (after severely doping myself up on anti-histamines, that is), nature is only 15 minutes away.

But I am learning too that a lot of people in Portland suck. I am not happy with a lot of the iced chai sipping new age assholes that are rampant here. And the PBR mesh hat wearing hipsters are annoying too. Oh well, every city on earth has assholes in it.
