Now why would they want to do that? As of 2006, PDX Metro had a documented population of about 2 million, slightly more or slightly less depending on which report you follow. As of 2010, the PROJECTED population of PDX metro will be 2.3 million. Do we live in the year 2010 yet? I didn't think so.

Well you are sorta right, according to wikipedia (great source I know but the fastest I could come up with), the 2006 population estimate for the Portland, Beaverton, Vancouver MSA is 2,137,565. That said, if you include Salem (which if you are going to include San Jose for SF, one should), you get 2,516,971. Either way you slice it, SF is roughly three times the size of Portland. A little more or a little less depending on how you split hairs.

SF is hip. Portland: not hip, but full of hipsters.

Default Do you have one million dollars for a house in SF?

San Francisco is as expensive as New York City. If you could afford SF, then move there. Most people couldn't even think of owning a house in SF. San Francisco has very little culture, if any, compared to REAL cities like New York and Boston. Portland is more down to earth, and other worldly affordable in comparison. Good luck.

They're not voting Republican, I can tell you that. They're still voting Democrat, but behaving like Republicans. They're armchair liberals, but feel great because they're driving a Prius and voting for Obama.
