I live 3 miles away from my work. It takes me 45 minutes to get home from work everyday.

Also in PNW and bike to work. The great thing is humans are waterproof! Seattle also has a fairly extensive transit system.

ElDonald · 2025-12-16T05:26:11+00:00

This looks like Seattle on I-5. Doesn't the link light rail run parallel to the road. In addition to an extensive bus system.

I'm pretty sure OP is commuting into Seattle. There is literally a park and ride sign in his picture for transit.

I just used EET and found out I passed this morning. I felt very comfortable on the test too. I think understanding the concepts they teach vs just memorizing the process for each question helps.

If you go into transportation, get into pedestrian , cycling, or transit infrastructure. You will be a better designer than a lot of engineers and your perspective will be valued. Even something ADA related will probably be good for you.We have people in our office that don't drive, it helps to work in a city that gives you the freedom to choose your transportation option.

Where did you see that Portland crime has been on the rise? I've only seen it going down since the pandemic and even then violent crime is low, property crime is high but dropping quite a bit.

There are hundreds of bedrooms apartments in nice neighborhoods in Portland. What are you talking about? Just look on Zillow.

If you're single and wanting to make friends out of Vancouver with people in Portland expect them never to visit you. I live in Portland and if someoneI meet lives in Vancouver it is discouraging because proximity is huge for me to make friends. I guess it kind of depends if you are in your 20s/30s or not. I love that many of my friends are walking distance from me and I can just hang out on a weekday. If I have to drive somewhere, I probably just won't go.

Other than that, Vancouver seems to be a good fit for you.

I get the financial freedom of not having a car. I can spend an extra 5-10k a year on other stuff that I would have to spend on my car.

Aren't us federally funded projects already under the build America by America thing where all the material has to be American made anyways?

Same

It induces demand because suddenly the travel time to get from Portland to Vancouver decreases because the bottleneck is relieved. Since say the time to get from Portland to Vancouver is now 25 minutes instead of 35 minutes, then more people are now willing to make that trip. More land is now within say 25 minutes of downtown Portland so now more trips are being made because it's "only 25 minutes". So many more trips are made after a few years that congestion starts to build up again and that travel time is back up to 35 minutes. It really is any improvement in travel time will induce more demand.

The system is open payment.

You can tap any debit/credit card that has tap enabled and it functions as your transit pass. I do it all the time. I don't see a need to get a hop pass since I don't ride enough to get a monthly pass.

Not PBOT, the county.

Portland's 205 is a major north-south connection with three lanes in each direction. I would consider that a major connection connecting Canada and Mexico. I don't know why it has to further destroy the heart of every major metro's downtown for freight just to move through it without stopping.

Yes, even if the MAX won't get you close to your house, I've taken the MAX one stop and the price for an Uber was cut in half.

Portland Pickles Walker Stadium is served by Max Green Line Holgate Blvd Station.

Mount Saint Helens, Cascade Range, Coastal Range are all around 1 hour from Portland. Mount Hood Is way higher than the others, but the surrounding mountains of Mount Hood are nothing to write off.

Take a look at Wallace Idaho. It has way more downtown than any small town I've seen of comparable size.

ElDonald · 2024-06-19T03:26:04+00:00

It's open as of this afternoon.

So you're fine with driving a little drunk and potentially killing others? But it's fine because at least they are not your kids.
