I moved all the political posts about Portland to their own thread in P&N. Debate the value of Portland all you want there. https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/the-value-of-portland-debate-moved-from-ot.2594607/

* Low cost of living (probably rules out California)

yup.... well not some areas... but most areas...the areas one would like to live in... well not unless your homeless and decide to pitch a tent on our sidewalk.
Bay area... los anageles, san diego, fullerton, most of the areas outside farmland or cow country will be majorly inflated. Prices went down, but they have started to inflate majorly.

Well not unless you enjoy looking at 3bdroom houses which start at 800k-1million, and rent for 2 bedrooms is on average 2600-3200 dollars/mo, unless we look at the really bad areas.

The desert near Arizona has cheap houses. Just gotta pay a company to deliver you water.....
