Troutdale is underrated, change my mind

Random thought, Average temperature is around 53--F, so expect cold winters. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
