I’ll be earnest for a brief moment and say that Portland and Seattle both have a lot going for them. It’s just the problems are rife everywhere and the willingness to take action that might address those problems isn’t present and won’t be as long as tech keeps widening the gulf between people who can enjoy what pnw has to offer and people who cant. I tend to be hard on Portland and Seattle because they could be so much better, and also because Seattle is just a bigger and lamer Portland with worse food but that’s beside the point

You should go outside though. No reason to live in a place where outside is so pleasant without getting out there.

I don't actually have an issue with Portland, I just like heckling all the PNW posters. The PNW is absolutely gorgeous. None of you should move here though.

Doe donuts? I had it without even realizing it was vegan and didn’t notice if that’s the one you’re talking about

Actually it might not have been voodoo, this place was 100% vegan. Voodoo still serves nonvegan things.

Yeah that’s got to be what Anime Is Trash had. Like I said when I ate there the first time (back when it was on 82 and Powell) I didn’t even know it was vegan and didnt notice at all. It’s really solid.

Portland on the other hand. Well I guess I’d rather be here than most places but it’s still hard to call this town awesome most of the time.

Portland still has a lot of high points, but lets be honest, the city has fallen apart especially after COVID. After travelling, it is hard to come back, the those in power are doing their best to kill the city once and for good.

Los Angeles is a car ridden hellscape, but it is pretty cool culturally if you actually go beyond the westside. Don't worry, however. Soon, the entire city will look like Santa Monica when all of the ethnic enclaves are priced out to the inland empire.

Beijing is basically evil LA without any of the chill vibes.

New York City. The tap water is untouchable, and it's really easy to buy pizza, something which is unfathomable for most of the planet. The NYPD is also the size of a standing military force for most nations, which reduces the crime rate and ensures property values rise unperturbed, great place to invest or raise children..
the pizza is good and yes the tap water is true. it's really good

it’s a modest treat but it’s much better than a beignet, which was a waste of stomach space that could rather have accommodated just about any other delicious food in New Orleans.

LA also has Dunkin Donuts, but they're rare and mid as hell.

Thank your local indie Cambodian owned donut place for their service. If the donut isn't in a white or pink box, it's trash.
