I agree with urbanlife...fu(k a 600 footer in the Lloyd that might never get built. That district is in extreme need of density, not super-talls. I wouldn't complain if a highly designed super-tall was proposed for somewhere in the Lloyd, or even taller downtown, but I'd rather have additions in the Lloyd that enhance what makes Portland great, our street level connections, than a few tall towers sitting in a field of lowrises and parking lots.
Height on this board, to me, is like watching boys compare their peckers. Who's gonna get the tallest building, my cities better than yours because we have 15 over 500' towers...blah...blah...blah...I have a livable city, little inner-city parks, a 5000 acre urban forest I can meander in, fountains to dash around in on hot summer days, a farmers market almost everday in some portion of town, concerts and movies in the square, great retail and restaurant selections, distinctive little districts to people watch in, an Aerial Tram
, and a 11,000 foot mountain the appears to be in reaching distance, out my window...shall I go on? None of that, by the way, would be strengthened (nor weakened) by a 600' tower.
