    Couldn't hardly make it worse. It's the civic equivalent of this:

    Took me 2 hours... 2 HOURS to drive from Catlin Gabel to my home in the Moreland area at around 3:30. Traffic is becoming an unforgiving biotch in this city.

    I dig it. Burnside is becoming its own district.

    I wish I could agree with you, but I think those are the "Portland Buildings" of 2017. Maybe I'm just an old fuddy-duddy, architecturally speaking.

    All I wanna know is... What can we do to our highway/interstate system to improve traffic? Widening? Re-routing? Additions? What would it take?

    Pretty sure the city is fucked, traffic-wise.

    Great shot of downtown/Pearl - you rarely see it from this angle.

    Portland likes to go for the shiny pretty objects, instead of working on alleviating traffic or housing.

    I thank god every day I come home from work that I A: set my own hours and B: don't drive (usually) during rush hour, or at least on streets impacted by rush hour.

    I think after 17 years here in PDX I count as an old timer, and so I can officially say that I think they are ruining this once-great city/town with all of this building.

    Personally, I blame Portlandia. For real. F Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein.

    Carrie Brownstein came to my house not long ago to scope it out for the show. I wasn't here but my father in law said she was really nice.
