I'd leave Portland for DFW without a doubt. DFW's economy is booming and it's much less expensive. A no-brainer to me.

Below grade parking. There's a better way you can do parking.

In Houston that seems like a bad idea.

Only people who pick Portland over Dallas are those individuals that are just obsessed with the culture it's created.

Portland isn't a pimple on DFW's arse. Portland is basically the same size as Arlington. Dallas and Texas all the way.

What an odd comment. Portland is far more like a traditional city...walkable urban neighborhoods, decent transit with far higher commute share, etc.

Or maybe they prefer natural beauty and outdoorsiness to big houses, chain restaurants, and strip malls.

You mean they like Portland's culture better than Dallas's. Though Dallas isn't just chain restaurants and strip malls. That's kind of silly to say that.
