I can't really think of any. Excellent public transportation, generally progressive government, polite people, decent cost of living for a metropolitan area, 1 hour to the beach or 1 hour to the mountains, and the highest concentration of microbreweries in the country...yeah, Portland's awesome.

Oh! Oh! I thought of one: The Portland Public School District is kind of bad. They have had problems managing funding in recent years, though it seems as if that is turning around. Here's hoping.
