Portland bound?

judecorpI randomly did a Google search tonight on cities with high per capitas of lesbians. Ithaca, NY was way up there (brrr), as was Oakland, CA (pricey) and Seattle. And then I realized that while I knew there were a bunch of lesbians in Portland, OR, I didn't really know anything about the city and the cost of living.
Wow - cheap houses!! Cheap CUTE houses!!
I am now on a mission to convince my Jennifer to move to Portland, so I can ship her off to work while I become a hip and trendy stay-at-home queer mama. What do you think about that?

Date: 2004-09-03 03:30 am (UTC)Oh dear. I hate to have a parade through your (b)rainstorm, but, uh, didn't you just go through this moving across the country thing, and decide that it was quite a bit more stressful than you really wanted to do again any time soon?
I have heard PDX is very cool. But we'd never see you. :( Well, unless I got a job teaching at Oregon State or something like that.
At least![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

siercia are coming to Philly. You must not love me as much as they do. Or at least you must not have as much desire to drive all the way to Boston from Florida just to get out of the way of a major hurricane, and a corporate expense account to do it. Hmm.

And I /do/ love you! I love you SOOOOOO much, and when I get financially secure a little bit and have vacation time (which is after six months), I'd love to see what flights to Philly cost. I've only ever been there once (I had a regatta there) and it seemed pretty cool.
So there. I DO LOVE YOU! :) (Although if I had a corporate expense account, I would love you that much more.)

portland? they don't even have a pro football team!
Date: 2004-09-07 04:13 am (UTC)noho is good though. you can get a place there (or amherst, south hadley or wherever) for not too too much. and you can be around those hott hos on the hill (awww yeah, mt holyoke girls fo sho!). but lock your doors anyway, smithies live out there...
don't go to the left coast, those people just aren't right. even if they do have better coffee standards.

Date: 2004-09-08 01:28 am (UTC)And maybe I'm a house snob or something, but I don't want to own a condo. If I'm going to pay for something for 30+ years, I don't want it to be connected to other people! :)
Northampton is quite lovely, as is the surrounding area. It's definitely a possibility, but it all depends on The Girl and where she can make her dreams come true. And she's really in love with the west coast.
p.s. I almost went to Mt. Holyoke, yanno.

Date: 2004-09-03 10:21 pm (UTC)But that means it snows less, right? And the average summer day is (supposedly) like 75 and breezy. I think I could seriously dig that.

Date: 2004-09-04 02:11 pm (UTC)We just went into things a little blindly, I suppose, hopefully wishing everything would just fall into place with an audible click. It hasn't, and I'm not terribly keen on "starting over from broke" at 29 when I worked so hard getting out of that in my earlier 20s.
But everything is good, and everything will work out in some way, and life keeps us moving that way, I suppose. :)
