I actually like Sacramento's skyline more than Portland. Crime rate is very low compared to Sac.

Really??? I think Portland's skyline is one of the most beautiful I've seen! Wow, I didn't think Sac's was all that great.

There's no other interesting cities surrounding Portland as there are in Sacto.

I havent seen a good one of Portland's either so far. Just a bunch of trees. I don't have a picture but the view from Portland City Grill looking south towards PSU is pretty neat.

Individually even I would say Portland > Sacramento, but you have to factor in the proximity to San Francisco and other attractions.

Is "x better than y" is a silly argument. For whom? By what measure?

Hard to argue with that analysis.

City Data has established a specific City vs City forum designed especially for folks who get their jollies by engaging in general, never-ending arguments of this type.

That said, members are welcome to ask about specifics of the Portland area.
