PDX? or Maine?
PDX does have great public transport. Public transport, IMO, is part of the solution. I'm in Mexico now and you can get anywhere, even out to the most remote village via public transport. Larger towns are connected with clean, new, A/C larger buses and out in the rural areas little vans called "Combis" are the way to go. Combis are basically a mini van, usually VW or Toyota. They're everywhere and they're cheap.
I go for weeks at times without driving. If I have to run into Sam Club or Costco I have to drive, just impossible to get a Costco load on the bus.
