Look at this forum, you will find all sorts of opinions. I like to go to other city forums to see what they have to say about their cities and I don't find nearly as many debates as I do here.
I'm not saying that's good or bad. It just makes it interesting to me.

This could make sense in a way because I did sense by looking at some people that they arent afraid to give an argument if need be. They may not be like the NE but not pushovers by any stretch either. When need be, Oregonians can be rude I think or not budge a bit and this seems to go hand in hand with their california dislike. Its like I do sense a quite mild more polite northeast attitude.
