Maybe Madison?

BornIntoThis, if you hated those aspects of Portland so much, why are you looking at two cities that are very similiar outside of the climate?

Secondly, the faux liberalism is beyond annoying, at best. For the most part, the city is filled with comfy white people who have never had to deal with the nuts and bolts of race relations, class conflict, or even so much as neighbors who come from significantly different cultural backgrounds (for example, developing Asian countries as opposed to cozy, homogeneous suburbs). Yeah, Portland folk are all about diversity, so long as they don't have to experience it personally on a daily basis.

To make matters worse, Portlanders also tend to take a huge amount of pride in the lip service they render and tend to be extremely judgmental of anyone who fails to match their (rather narrow) image of what a diversity-honoring individual should look and sound like. Oh, the irony.

Sure you're not talking about Madison?
