It's insanely easy and cheap to drive into downtown Portland. I'll never understand why parochials complain that it's difficult, I guess they've never been to literally any other city. I live in North Portland, it takes me about 10 minutes to drive into downtown, I can always find a curbside spot without having to search, and the ParkingKitty fee for a whole hour is < $3 (And only during business hours, night and weekends are completely free!!!). It would almost cost me more to take the Max train. In a city known for it's public transit. Make it make sense.

Yep! From Seattle and it’s still easy to find parking here. Every time I go to Portland, I never have an issue.
