FR:
I've lived in Portland for a decade now (as of last Friday). It is a GREAT place.
As far as specific areas of Portland, Southeast and Northeast Portland are probably the friendliest and most affordable areas that are actually *in* the city of Portland (as opposed to some of the outlying areas). Pretty much anything you want to do you can find it here. There are--and I say this without any hyperbole--some of the finest queer people it has ever been my pleasure or privilege to know (June, Kat, Jenny, Joe, Belinda, et. al. you all know who I'm talking about).
Then there's Powell's books which is, for bibliophiles, a truly religious experience.
Cheers
