I'm curious about who are these smaller cities with just as small blocks as ours that are building high rises taller than us? I'm sure you'll be able to also provide total square footage of current under construction development in those cities.

Could you provide us with some facts that we are lacking in business growth in comparison to other metropolitans? (Just letting you know, food carts, strip bars and micro breweries are all businesses and so are Adidas, Nike, Intel, Precision Castparts, Daimler and Boeing.)

I'd like to see the quote from Wheeler about being the poorest city on the Pacific Coast as well, fact that Portland is the poorest major city on the Pacific coast
TLDR; This isn't the Oregonian comment pages. Industries involved with development, journalists and enthusiasts come to SSP Portland for factual development news and discussion. If you are providing a "factual" statement, please back up those claims in your post or, perhaps, refrain from posting.
