Our main office is downtown Portland and I am there a lot. It's a really nice city. Seems like it can get a bit pricey, but it has a great art scene. Lots of good music and and brewpubs. Maybe leans a bit hipster, but I enjoy it.
I see complaints about crime there, but it's statistically one of the safest major cities in the country (Denver has over 2 times the murder rate). Maybe property crime is a little higher than others, but that's just part of big city life no matter where you go.
The cops are definitely worthless there, but that's sort of a trend in most cities. I don't really get the hate for the city. If anything you could argue it's kind of boring.
