There have been recent articles about how the most blue cities in the country are also the most expensive and unequal.
Portland is pro green and pro gay but other than that, pretty right wing in my opinion on racial and economic issues.

The term, "liberal" seems to be irrelevant nowadays now that gay marriage and abortion are not the marginalizing issues they once were. I think the term, "progressive ", is more appropriate to describe the "liberal" views and politics of yesterday. Portland is liberal but not progressive IMO.
