    Just another benefit of Las Vegas^^^^^^

    When you build on flat open space you can lay the roads out evenly in a nice grid. Even when the freeway is somewhat backed up you can take surface streets everywhere.

    Portland is pretty much exactly a grid, aside from a couple areas. I've always taken surface streets, but then again I have never lived in the suburbs.

    Not even remotely similar. You can drive from the extreme west side of Las Vegas to the farthest east side in a straight line. Google map Portland and then do las vegas. Las vegas looks like a crossword puzzle.

    It's so much better and less pretentious.

    Just what is the vision for the city at this point? I don't get it. Mini Seattle? Gridlock and lacking the infrastructure to support too many people?

    This $150m office development is making quite the impact on this area.

    This part of Portland is begging for an MLb stadium -- Terminal 1!

    So I-5 would be buried and the parking garages at the Moda would be torn down?
