There's been a surge in new apartment construction this year, and many of the proposals are targeted at that Portlandia ideal -- ditching the car and walking, biking or taking transit to work.
Until recently, developments without resident parking were legal but rare, reined in by the profit-seeking sensibilities of developers and their lenders. Now, more than two dozen such apartment have been proposed or recently built in Portland.
