Ranking: Portland is the 9th best place to live in U.S., 'antifa radicals' and all [View all]
Its a big win for a city that is supposedly under siege.
According to the ranking, Portlands population toes the between an innocent playfulness and a shameless wild side.
U.S. News and World Report made no mention of the chaos and rampant homelessness usually favored by national news outlets, and instead focused on donuts and the World Naked Bike Ride.
Locals tend to be friendly and laid-back while maintaining a healthy work ethic, the report said. This, combined with Portlands emphasis on self-expression, has created a breeding ground for many independent businesses and startups.
Thats right, a breeding ground for many independent businesses and startups, not a breeding ground for communists and anarchists. How weird!
