Let's sell the entire City of Portland to the State of Washington. Along with it goes the right to tax its mostly liberal Democrat inhabitants in perpetuity, all for the bargain price of $22B. The State of Oregon would likely be able to then elect Republicans, who would keep the rest of us from going down the liberal Democrat tax and spend toilet. Plus, the bridge would then be entirely Washington's problem.

Yeah, I know, but it's a nice dream.
