LOL! Maybe it will block their view of the Koin tower for which they aggresively protested in the 80's for blocking the view of Mt. Hood from Hwy 26. HA!
Attn PDX NIMBY's, if you want permanent views of the mountain....get out of the CITY and move to Sandy! Even there trees will grow and block your views in time. You wouldn't dare cut down a tree, would you? Everything changes in time. Our skyline is no exception. Let's all embrace change. Keep Portland on a human scale, convienent, and lively. But also plan for density. Build UP in appropriate areas rather than OUT even further. A 600-700 footer or two would not make downtown a cold, dark, canyon and could really look nice if properly designed. I don't believe PDX should build supertall though...it just wouldn't feel right the way the town currently is. Maybe long after we are switched to the Amero and the country is dismantled. Who knows what will happen then?
Did I hear something about the city council or the PDC considering raising some height restrictions sometime soon?
