    all these buildings would look better if street artists just spraypainted murals on them.

    You can tell it's not Portland because they look happy.

    It would be a cold day in hell before I ever lived in Beaverton.

    Can't stand that place!

    AMAA is one of the better firms in the city. Before the recession they were probably the most active.

    Their next big project? (Lloyd District):

    PDX is a good airport, but it's by no means a 'hub', even for Alaska Air.

    I like the wifi, and that they have some local food stores. And that you can take the MAX right to the door (which I love about Reagan National).

    Portland really needs to get smarter with their traffic control throughout the entire city - it's a joke how poorly they've managed traffic flow.
    They just put a New Seasons in right there at Williams/Fremont, which has already made traffic worse. These new developments are only going to add to the problem. Further, I've heard whispers that they're thinking of taking Williams down from two lanes to one. Even though that improves my commute as a cyclist I'm completely against it - Williams NEEDS two lanes. Portland needs to address traffic and bring some industry to the city before continuing to build more unneeded housing.

    There is actually a big shortage in Portland; About 12,000 units are to be built by 2015 - many in the Pearl and the Lloyd District. Fwiw a lot of the projects that I've posted in North Portland are office buildings.
