   Ah, just another right-wing Portland basher who has never lived in   
   Portland, probably never visited Portland, but clearly knows nothing   
   about Portland - or Oregon for that matter. 99% of the time they can't   
   tell the difference between Portland and Portland Metro Area.   
      
   ===========   
   Why Portland Remains A Top City For Economic Growth   
      
   Portland took 22nd place among best large U.S. cities for economic   
   growth, ranking well across the board;   
      
   The city snatched first place among over 30 large U.S. cities analyzed   
   for the highest trade-exports growth of 60.28% in 2022 compared to 2018,   
   resting at $34,368;   
      
   Portland also boasted the third-highest growth in median earnings at 34%,   
   surpassed only by Washington, D.C., and Fresno, CA. In 2022, Portland   
   registered a median income of $48,062/year;   
      
   Moreover, the city stood out thanks to the 7% growth in housing units,   
   registering a total of 301,084 in 2022;
