If you dont walk around in NW, you can really miss all the buildings going up right now. It is an impressive amount of projects all happening at the same time.

I was just thinking I really need to go for some walks or get out on my bike and do some city exploring.

Yeah, and all the projects I posted above aren't even in the Area formerly known as Con-way. It's not hard to imagine the north end of NW being as dense as the Pearl in a decade or two.

PORTLAND PLANNING COMMISSION DECLINES TO RECOMMEND NEW PARKING REQUIREMENTS

Portland’s Planning and Sustainability Commission, on March 8, heard staff recommendations to impose mandatory minimum parking requirements in densely populated NW Portland.

Northwest Portland, because it is in a plan district, was left out zoning changes passed in 2013 which required parking in new multi-family developments with more than 30 housing units. Neighbors argued that the region was short 2000 parking spaces already and that new developments proposed would exacerbate the problem further in the future.

Housing affordability advocates, transportation activists, and Portland Shoupistas countered that minimum requirements were a step in the wrong direction during a housing crisis. Portland Shoupistas pointed out that there are many parking management strategies available to the district, such as limiting the number of permits and charging market rates, that would lead to right-sized parking being built at the developer’s discretion.

...continues at Portland Shoupistas.

It really is! There are so many new proposals made for NW and buildings currently under construction that it's getting really difficult for me to keep track of them all in my head.
