Portland. Richmond seems pretty cool, nice downtown and hipster vibe, but Portland would at least allow for carless living.
Portland, OR or Portland, ME?
I think one would be able to go without a car at least in Richmond's core neighborhoods such as The Fan, Jackson Ward, Carytown, Museum District, Downtown, etc.

I could probably survive in those parts of Richmond without a car, but I think I'd really want to have one there. It's not like a big city where owning a car is a hassle and living car-free is easier than having one.

In my 30s (now), Portland, Ore. When I retire, Portland, Me.

Portland, Oregon. It is much larger, more diverse and the winters are a lot more easy to take than in Maine. Don't get me wrong, Portland, ME is nice.. it's a friendly and touristy waterfront haven with a lot of restaurants and coffee shops. Reminds me of a bed & breakfast town in New England. But Portland, OR is a better place to live, at least IMO.

Agreed. The neighborhoods within the city core are very walkable and the people who live there regularly use city transportation to get around, especially for those who work in downtown. Richmond often gets overlooked but the city is very dense, hip, diverse and walkable. There are blocks of row houses that extend from Carytown, The Fan District into the industrial areas in the east side. Like Portland or Austin, Richmond most definitely has its fair share of hipsters and a yuppy transient population. It is truly an underrated city.
Baton Rouge, I don't know much about either other than they are state capitals but LA interests me more than IA. I haven't a clue which one I would personally prefer to live in.

Austin. A lot of positive vibe and economic momentum. One of the most recession-proof cities in the U.S.
Washington DC or Boston?
Boston... love the history and look of the city
Houston or Milwaukee?
