Either quote the text where I said the things you're saying I said, or stop implying things that were not said at all, because you're miles off.
You are so militant in your approach that you're fighting against people on this forum who agree with you in many ways.
First, you advocate for overbuilding in advance based on what the future may hold. Quote:

Statements like that are militant and misguided. Who are "we" to decide where to "put them?" ...?
You don't understand the relationship between population density and the cost of housing - or the cost of land, or the cost of providing goods and services, etc.

That argument is a theory, but you cite your theory as proof that you're right. And though you can't point to examples of it working, you double-down on your rightness:

Exactly. A relative newcomer to Portland is telling Portlanders how they're ruining Portland.
PDXdensity, you want instant drastic change, but that's not realistic. It's not even healthy.

Ah, yes. Portlanders are stifling the vibrancy of the culture they created by not changing Portland into a city Portland isn't. Wait.... whut?
