Portland had some of the best food in the United States and a rich history. homeless there are fricking nuts.
It has no history. It began post civil war and not really that great. The long and short of it is it's Le quirky cloudy Oregon place with hipsters and actual homosexuals. The other Portland is much more historically rich, much better food too. Zero homelessness. Clean. More sunny. 98% white. Better food. Portland ME > Portland OR.

You're looking for New Orleans
Isnt that like bumfrick poor and filled with blacks
Yeah, but the historic part of the city isn't violent, and well-patrolled by cops.
The alternative is Boston, but the locals aren't friendly there.
not OP, but do you think it's worth flying out there from SF? Never been to the South. Anything else to do nearby?
Not much to do around NOLA unless you're interested in an airboat ride (very fun), or want to go on a fishing trip (either offshore or on an airboat, which I enjoy, but lots of people don't).
Otherwise New Orleans is definitely worth visiting, and the fun bits are rather compact.
You've got Bourbon Street for partying, live music (jazz and others) at all sorts of bars, the WWII Museum, the architecture of the French Quarter, a Harrah's casino, and Riverboat casino, dozens of cajun restaurants, all within a walkable few blocks. And that's nothing to say about the minor points of interest.
It's one of my favorite cities to visit in the country, above Miami, but below Vegas.
All of these are musts, but I would add that it's really fun to rent a bike and ride down Esplanade Avenue. Really colorful houses and beautiful foliage, and the city park is at the end.
If you're already in sf, I suggest you drive north to bodega bay, and go to the crabshack and order a crab sandwich and clam chowder and dip the sandwich in the chowder.
all big american cities are like this, they can be really unsafe if you don't know where to move, but overall safe in the "tourist" places
For some true cultural enrichment, go to the Fifth Ward and drive real slow like
No, do not come here unless you like visiting combat zones. You'd probably be better off checking out NC or VA.
I've been to VA briefly when my uncle was in the Navy
New Mexico ticks all the boxes. Lots of places on the east coast too, esp New England and the Southern Appalachians.
You can go almost anywhere for 10k
Is this $10k after travel expenses and lodging?
10k is the total budget
Noted. Without giving exact locations, what region of the US are you in? Understandably, traveling in New England will be more expensive than, say, the southwest
Texas
Sounds like you might enjoy New Orleans for its festivities. Otherwise I recommend heading to, say, Santa Fe for some pretty views and laid-back life. There isn't much to do city-wise out there but I don't think anyone has ever recommended anywhere in the Four Corners for that (except maybe Vegas but that's another story).
That explains why you're afraid to travel outside the US. lol. Those toothless hillbillies in Amarillo think Lubbock is high culture because they have a mall with a Cinnabon.
I don't think I ever explicitly said I didn't want to travel outside the US. Everyone just assumed that from the thread pic
lol'd because it's true
the usual retort is 'but we're diverse' because the biggest city in texas is 1/3 black, 1/3 mexican, and 1/3 'american' (muttoid white), meanwhile their idea of asian food is still unironic, non-revival tiki culture cuisine and they're torchbearers of traditional evropean cvltvre because they go to a megachurch every sunday to listen to a fat idiot scream about homosexuals
I'd consider DC.
East coast cities are historic, but a lot of them are shitholes. DC would be an obvious choice. But the weather sucks in the summer. It;s humid as balls.
Honestly, for 10K, you should do Europe. Fly in and out of Prague or Budapest. Take the high speed train to Prague, Vienna and Budapest. That was one of the best trips of my life. You'll get a good mix of everything.
Unless you're talking ancient history, the US is about as boring and shitty as humanly possible for history. For nature go west, for nature AND food go even further west. Portland is possibly the best hub on earth for exploring
You can buy property in Arkansas to build on for under $10k
Yeah because it’s Arkansas
I think about buying a patch of land in West Virginia sometimes. I’m from Pennsylvania so it would be at least a day’s drive from home.
Why would you spend 10K ?
Go to SEA and coom
