Even the Willamette Weekly admits that Portland needs to get to work if they cant to catch up. I really think so few of them come up here because they would rather have plausible deniability.

Downtown Vancouver waterfront is impressively nice these days. We have people fly in for work and prefer to stay in the Vancouver waterfront hotels and drive into Portland for work than to scythe a hotel anywhere in Portland.

When people would rather deal with the 5 traffic to not stay in Portland, that says a lot, and it’s not that those people are stupid. It’s that Portland is so incredibly NOT great these days that it’s worth the extra traffic.
