I spent 17 years of my life in the Willamette Valley and I could keep that up. Portland isn't really my favorite city and the coast/central/eastern/southern Oregon are just too remote.
Obviously, I would never consider living in a suburb.

I gotta *strongly* disagree on that one. It's just that I-5 slashes through an atypically boring stretch of farm fields.
For anyone in the know, how good is the BRT network in Eugene?
It's okay, but most places you'd want to go are better accessed by foot or bike. It's more useful for people going from Springfield to Eugene rather than getting around the city of Eugene itself.
