I haven't, not yet. I kind of want to live close-in on the east side and be able to walk damn near anywhere if I can.
And you want to pay $900?
Better start stocking up on refrigerator boxes and scoping out the ritzy overpasses.... I could point you in the direction of some excellent waterfront locations.

I take the MAX in to Portland, but that's because I don't tend to go into the city for many events, besides working.
What really cheeses me off is that the MAX is priced perfectly so that whether I pay for gas for my car, or pay for MAX tickets 5-days a week I basically break even, so I might as well pay for the gas and have a 25 minute commute then have to bike to the MAX station, get a train into downtown for 25 minutes and then bike to my office next to OMSI - which takes 45 minutes.
Price the MAX better and I'd eat the commute time to save the money.
