I live in Portland (and have most of my life) some of the stuff on the list I can understand. Yes, it rains and is gray hear much of the year, but a lot of people like it. I am one of those I would rather have it rain 6 months out of the year than be 100 degrees every day for 6 months out of the year. It is a pretty clean city and pretty cool place to live. I think the reason it ranks so high is its proximity to Vancouver, WA and other WA cities. Oregon has something called The Oregon Health Plan. Basically it is free health insurance if you are poor, disabled or a pregnant woman. The city is also a very liberal city so we have a lot programs for welfare and disability and stuff like that. So people that live anywhere near here end up moving here so they can take advantage of these services. We end up with many of Vancouver and the surrounding area's trouble people. These people, I think, help cause there to be a above average rate of depression.

Add in that we are the lesbian capitol of North America (and I have yet to see to hot lesbians making out - real lesbians are nothing like porn lesbians) and that we are one of the biggest cities in the nation (if not the world ) for transgender issues and sexual reassignment surgeries and you can start to see this is a city that attracts the non-mainstream people.

We are also getting hammered with the economy right now which doesn't help.
