I would say that's a big part of it. Having also lived in many cities and a handful of other countries in my life, this IS a great place to live. Which isn't to say we don't have our problems as evidenced by the current City budget crisis. But it's not like Austin, Portland, etc. are perfect places either.

If a city our size has an equal, I haven't heard or seen of it. More folks should enjoy downtown though as many folks I know don't go there often enough. It isn't from a lack of anything specific, it's from competition from the cocooning suburban culture that exists today. Maybe parking could be made easier.
