I'm not as happy, so far, with Q21 as I thought I'd be. It just looks awkward. It reminds me, unfortunately, of a cleaner, more modern version of this thing. Hopefully when it's finished I'll change my mind.

Spoken like a man who has a degree in architecture, that was my first thought too when I saw this building. I haven't been over there to see it in person in a while; though I have a feeling it will come together more when it gets closer to being finished because it should begin to look more like one building rather than a new building stacked on an old warehouse building.

My wife refers to Q21 as the "AT-AT Walker" (from Star Wars if anyone somehow missed that reference)

Sad to see it go, had some good and bad memories in that building, but they were all mostly drunken memories.

WILL CITY COUNCIL IMPOSE RENT-RAISING MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS IN NW PDX?

On July 6th at 2PM City Council will consider a Planning and Sustainability Commission (PSC) recommendation to allow for more flexible and efficient uses of the existing parking supply in NW Portland, a smart move. During the hearing, however, Northwest Parking Stakeholder Advisory Committee (NW Parking SAC) members will ask council to amend the proposal and add back in minimum parking requirements.

In March, Portlanders on the NW Parking SAC asked the Planning and Sustainability Commission to recommend new minimum parking requirements for multi-family developments in northwest Portland.

The Planning and Sustainability Commission declined to make the recommendation due, primarily, to concerns about the effect of parking minimums on housing affordability. Furthermore, as Commissioner Chris Smith pointed out, the NW Parking SAC could have requested higher monthly parking permit fees or denied access to permits in new developments without parking, both which would be more effective at solving the perceived problem than minimum parking requirements.
...continues at Portland Shoupistas.

We want dense urban neighborhoods but some don't want to give up their addictions to do it

I wish someone could get city council to realize that making housing more expensive to build makes housing more expensive, period.

That’s really only true for a one-to-one replacement. But if you raze a single-family house that rents for $5000/month and replace it with a building of 20 apartments, each renting for $3000 per month, then the statement is quite obviously false, no matter how expensive it was to build the apartments.

I don’t really see any reason why building more higher-end apartments with parking is a problem, especially in neighborhoods like NW 23rd, where there are plenty of low-amenity apartments without parking (or even laundry). Until the high-end apartments have lots of vacancies, I would guess that there are likely relatively wealthy people who are occupying cheaper apartments just because they like the neighborhood. If they had the opportunity, they might move to a nicer place and generate vacancies in the cheaper end of the market. So I could easily imagine a reasonable scenario where rents on existing apartments might actually fall if there were higher-priced options in the neighborhood. It is by no means obvious that building a higher-rent building must necessarily drive the rents of the older buildings upwards as well, especially if the new building creates significantly more housing supply than the structure it replaced.
