Rainy, gray city with a bunch of poseurs you would enjoy punching in the nose.

Veritable Portland slumdogs.
Moron, this is what the article is about:

Quote:
The worst recession in a generation is disrupting migration patterns and overturning lives across the country. Yet, cities like Portland, along with Austin, Texas, Seattle and others, continue to be draws for the young, educated workers that communities and employers covet. What these cities share is a hard-to-quantify blend of climate, natural beauty, universities and -- more than anything else -- a reputation as a cool place to live. .
See it says the climate and quality of life are superb. It isn't even that the economy is worse in the coveted places. It's just that the employment problem is made more acute because these places are so coveted they keep getting an influx of new blood.

I wonder how Farrah feels about this.
