Austin: more jobs, better weather (fight me), vibrant economy. Food scene has leveled up massively. But traffic is becoming SF-level bad.

Portland: nature access is unparalleled. Mt Hood, the coast, the gorge. Beer is better. Vibes are weirder in a good way. But the city feels like it's in an economic funk and the homeless situation is hard to deal with.

Austin for career. Portland for quality of life.
