Portland, Ore., received a coveted best-city-in-the-U.S. ranking from a major American news organization this week, a designation which comes after a year that saw the city gripped by violent anarchist protests and an exploding homelessness problem that has put many residents on edge.
In its annual ranking of best cities in the United States in which to live, U.S. News and World Report placed Portland at #10. That ranking puts it one spot lower than its #9 spot last year but still on the coveted yearly list.
The city “toes the line between an innocent playfulness and a shameless wild side,” U.S. News said in its breakdown, citing “naked bicycle rides, a fully costumed adult soapbox derby and Voodoo Doughnut — a bakery known for making one-of-a-kind donuts.”
Study sponsered by the Portland chamber of commerce.
