I hate groups like this, we should be building taller downtown because it is downtown. Groups like this act like they are trying to preserve single family homes in the suburbs.
Though I did check out the proposed height limit changes and I am excited. 325ft for the north end of Old Town. 460ft/unlimited (seriously?? unlimited???
) along 4th, 5th, 6th, and Broadway, as well as much of the blocks near Big Pink? 325ft along much of Naito? 325ft for the north end of the West End stretching all the way to the Timbers Stadium?? And North Pearl is marked as unlimited height? Seriously, our tallest building in Portland could one day be in North Pearl?? Also, when are we gonna start planning some serious transit improvements for North Pearl if they expect that area to be a potential towering part of downtown?
That would be so awesome to see Portland take on something this aggressive and really beef up the density of downtown.
