1. San Francisco
2. Portland
3. Seattle
4. Santa Monica/ Venice
Any others?

F*cking sad dude, I love these cities. Plus Vegas smells like marijuana everywhere. Hates that smells.
All are awesome cities with significantly lower murder rates than Las Vegas. Just like LV there are some neighborhoods that aren’t great but 95% of those cities are fantastic.
Only if you don’t mind the piss and shit all over the sidewalks. Especially in Seattle and SFO. Vegas you can’t walk two feet without the stench of pot or having flyers shoved in your face.
Right the 5% I mentioned which tells me you’ve never been to any of the 95% in either of those 2 cities.
Pacific Heights, The Marina, Cow Hollow, Russian Hill, Nob Hill, Presidido Heights, Hayes Valley, Noe Valley in SF to name a few amazing areas.
Queen Anne, Magnolia, Ballard,Fremont, Wallingford, Madison Park, Lechi, to name a few in Seattle.
I’m not denying the bad areas are bad same as any city, but at least you won’t get murdered.
I’ll be in SF this weekend and won’t see or smell anything you talk about and will probably walk 20 miles through all of the neighborhoods I list.
Other than the year I lived in SFO and the several months spent there on business no I have never been there. For every Pacific Heights and Nob Hill there is a Tenderloin, Golden Gate Park, Castro, Chinatown, Mission District and North Beach. Where you can see plenty of homeless and open drug use. Seattle I haven't been too as often but know that they have the International District, Belltown and Pike's Place are dumps.
The wife and I were in Cleveland for the R&R HoF inductions this past weekend. Boy, you wanna talk about a city where weed is a major part of the daily existence.... You coudn't walk a block without (ahem) "Ooo-ooo that smell!"
I love Oregon.
I hate commies.
And the French.
And IPA's.
Oregon is rampant with two of the three..
I was actually surprised with how little I weed I smelled in Oregon.
But I could definitely smell the communism.
Indian Pale Ale's. An overly hoppy alcoholic beverage people try to pass off as beer.
Oregon is famous for it.
Often produced at places called 'Micro Breweries'.
I like my beer mass produced like the good lord intended.
You smoke a bit before you wrote that?
If I recall, one of your criteria is non green bottles too, right?
Seems like a few people here need to move to east Tennesse or W. Virginy. More your speed.
Oregon is famous for microbrews but not just IPA's. Some of the best grapes for Pinoit Noir and Merlot are grown here. Cab Sab wines are the best around also. I always love the microbrews with honey in Oregon. Not IPA's. That is just tourists stuff.
Bull, did you bought some Pine mushrooms? That mushroom which is also known as Matsutake mushroom is just awesome on a grill. This mushroom get ranked from #1 to #5 depends on how bloomed it is. I have taken #5 and grilled it...still delicious as anything I have ever tasted.

My bad. I know what it is. Just couldn't believe you don't like it.
I’ve never had an IPA that was too hoppy, for me the hoppier the better. I’ve had many that weren’t hoppy enough usually those are not from West Coast Breweries.
I do not. I'm a Guinness guy.
Or a nice pilsner.
IPA's way to floral from the hopps. Like drinking perfume.
And usually served by a guy named Trent in a flannel shirt and man bun.
IPA's are more hoppy than lagers in general so any IPA is too hoppy/bitter for me. It tastes like drinking a bitter in the UK.
Or a place with normal people. Don’t have to go from one extreme to the other. I don’t like IPA, rampant homelessness and rainbow streets and I don’t like moonshine, Levi Garrett and Confederate flags, either.
There’s a vast area in between.
Is there a major urban area no matter what state, without crime and bad areas? No. Des Moines Iowa, the capitol in a red state, was perhaps the most dilapidated run down crack infested shithole I have ever witnessed. The Drake campus was beautiful though.
No though some are worse than others. Big gap between Chicago and San Diego. Or even Henderson and Las Vegas. The only large cities I can think of that don't really have any bad areas are Honolulu, Cape Coral and Henderson.
Case in point Birmingham AL whose state has the biggest maga ballwasher, racist governor has had 135 murders in 2024 to date with a population of 195k. Where I live San Diego we have routinely 35-45 murders each year and a population of about 1.3 million
We own 4 houses in Nashville (also one in a nice Birmingham suburb) so I’m in that area usually twice a year. Nashville is cool for a weekend (just not Broadway), we have some Local spots we like off broadway, but you don’t need to go too far out of Nashville to know you are in Tennessee just a completely backwards ass place.
Even our renters and our houses we have 8 in these states are all in upper middle class neighborhoods in Austin, Nashville and Trusville AL trash ourhouses vs the houses we own in San Diego and Las Vegas. Just a completely different type of person.
So it’s no surprise these states have the highest poverty, lowest education, worst health, obesity, etc.

Birmingham is a complete dump. Huntsville on the other hand is a beautiful city. Tennessee has other nice places Knoxville is really nice. San Diego is close to having no bad neighborhoods, East Village is all I can think of. The only cities I have seen that are bigger dumps than Birmingham would be Detroit and Baltimore. Chicago is mixed some nice parts and some absolute dumpster fires.
If you’re arguing that most major urban areas suck, I couldn’t agree more. Regardless of beer choices.
