But it looked smaller on the map!!!

...Portland to be like Tokyo, New York or San Francisco, and I'm sure many people like it just the way it is. Love it or stay home, right? But it seems that, with the exception of Fareless Square, there is little use in being a pedestrian in Portland (much like in LA, where it's absolutely futile--even pets drive). I guess the bus system does provide the needed backbone for public transportation. MAX...
