So...I kind of spaced on my whole Zinester's Guide To Portland book give-away! Oops. Better late than never, though. Got a big 2 entries on that one, and though they were both great answers, the winner is.... Jordan Behan! Mainly I thought Jordan had a much better chance of actually going to Portland sometime, so that the book would actually be of use, but I do have to give props for his compliments to the urban planning and transit system.
Jordan's answer to the question of why Portland is so awesome:
I like Portland because it has been striving to be a kick-ass bike friendly city, long before such a thing was in vogue. Also, their infrastructure with public transit and traffic is a model we in Vancouver should follow closely. That’s hardly enough for a win, but I thought I’d add my input anyhoo.
Hardly enough for a win you say? Think again! (I'll drop it off at Strutta HQ when I'm back from slackin'. Er, I mean holidays.)

Safe travels everyone, stay warm!
