Yeah, the homeless population openly trading pills and other drugs openly in the street doesn't exactly make for a Utopia either.
Other than the homeless problem, I have loved my trips to Portland and the upper PacNWest. There is definitely a green initiative there, and it was there WAY before being "green" was cool/mainstream. The focus on local sustainability is great too. Way off topic, but if you haven't been to the site of the Mt. St. Helens eruption, you're missing out. Mind-blowing place that is just now (barely) getting back to active life after 30 years of dormancy.
