Portland is underrated, change my mind

I keep seeing people overlook Portland when talking about great places to live. With a population of 642,715, it's big enough to have everything you need but small enough to feel like a community. There are tons of parks and outdoor spaces. Weather is moderate — about 54F average.

Traffic is the worst part honestly. But if you live near work it's fine.

Good summary. I'd rate it higher personally — maybe 8/10.

I'd add that the parks here are amazing for families. Otherwise spot on!
