I can see maybe a few 6 story buildings going in, but not anywhere close to anything we are seeing in that rendering.

When the current prep work finishes they will be more connected to the river and have new parks and trails. I still wouldn't trade Portland for it, but I can see it growing into a decent place.

Vancouver's downtown isn't that bad at all! But as tworivers said, where's the demand?
