I lived in Portland. Joel Kotkin is a moron who realized he could sell books by trashing the most successful city in the US. I'll give him credit for one thing - he's a smart moron. He realized that controversy sells. Why write a book trashing Detroit? Nobody would buy it because everyone knows it. Trash Portland and suddenly people perk up. Go walk the streets and live in the neighbourhoods. There's plenty to learn from successful cities. To suggest otherwise is truly assinine (and just a cop-out since you know Hamilton won't. Actually we REFUSE to).
