What are Portland's best successes and biggest liabilities?

As the Portland mayor's race chugs along, the candidates talk a lot about what's great about Portland, and what needs work. The next mayor will be asked to preserve our most valuable assets, and deal with liabilities that eat up a healthy chunk of tax dollars.

We're curious to know how you see Portland's balance sheet. Does the city do a good job of managing assets? What do you consider the biggest liabilities for the city?
