As another poster said, Portland - while having the least expensive housing in any major west-coast city - is expensive. In some "trendy" areas, $900 won't get you a cardboard box behind the dumpster. OK, that's an exaggeration, but just out of curiosity, I did a search on craigslist for apartments (Multnomah Co, 2+ BR, 1+ BA, 900 or under). What you get is a) places way out of the city, b) places not even *in* the county, and c) shitty places rejected by meth addicts.
Same criteria in Clark County (adjacent, across the river in Washington), and there's plenty of places you'd actually want to live - but the tradeoff is rage-inducing traffic and lousy-to-nonexistent public transit.
