@Rabble – move here. We need people like you :-)

I’ll start to coalesce with you to form a critical mass. What do you say?

@Brian Yes, the unemployment numbers are high. In all honesty, that’s likely fueling entrepreneurial pursuits, as well. With jobs being scarce, people are taking the opportunity to venture out on their own.

That said, a number of tech companies in town seem to be hiring again/still.

My wife and I have been considering places to relocate to and Portland seems awesome in many respects. One thing that is very concerning right now though is the high unemployment rate (>11%) in Portland. Can you speak to that at all?

A lot of interesting points made. But anytime there’s a “best city for…” article its always contingent on what criteria the author comes up with. Especially when measuring is somewhat intangible like “Best City for Entrepreneurs” vs. something like “Cities with the lowest crime” which can be measured with certainty. You’ve definitely peaked my interest though. Must visit Portland.
