Portland should aim for a minimum 2% average annual growth rate. People already want to live in Portland, we just need to make it cheap and easy to build homes. 🏗️🏙️🌲🚲🦫

4-plex going up a few blocks from me. Gonna see about getting a showing when it's done. If we can see 2 adjacent units at the same time I'll bring a lil Bluetooth speaker to test the acoustic performance between units.
There aren't offset studs between units, so I figure it will perform poorly.

Pittsburgh got quite a lot of ground to catch up for it to fulfill its role as the Chongqing of America, but I believe it can achieve it.

Chongqing Metro just posted a picture of Line 9 Hualongqiao the world's tallest metro station, with platforms rising 48 meters above the surface. Which is funny as Hongyancun station, also on Line 9, is two stations over and is the deepest station in the world being 116m deep.

Single stair to 6 floors? Nah, Portland should aim for 8 story single stair.
Consultants contracted by Minnesota found that an eight-story single-stair building with 6,000 sq. ft. per floor (building 4) has dramatically lower fire risk than a same-height code-compliant two-stair building with a larger floor plate (building 1) www.dli.mn.gov/sites/defaul...

No such thing as an "Orphan Lot" any more.
Single stair stacked flats can fit on small lots (like this 50x70 corner lot). This could be 12 small 1Br, or six family size flats.
Just allow 50% lot coverage and 3FSR and away you go.

for whatever reason, the victims of traffic violence never factor into the calculation. no urgency there. but do something that might affect a suburban lawyer who had a few drinks and then it becomes an “equity” issue

this minnesota single stair study is fascinating in that how it shows how much *higher* risk is in status quo development - a massive double loaded corridor/dual stair building - v. single stair from 3-8 stories.

Attending any events in Saudi Arabia is questionable; the comedians who performed in Riyadh were rightly criticized.
But for the director of PBOT to attend an event in the country that smuggled out one of its citizens after his reckless driving killed a local teenager is particularly galling.

Not the worst compromise to get to 6 floors, but weaker than it ought to be.
I'd be content with Portland doing exterior stairs only for 6 floors if it was an otherwise clean reform.

A significant move Vancouver made this week was moving forward with enabling novel Single Egress & Space Efficient Stairs. Led by the great team in Development, Buildings & Licensing, supported closely by Vancouver Fire Rescue Service; and Planning this will be transformative for low-rise apartments

Why the fuck are modest 2 bedroom homes being built with 2.5 baths? That's such a waste of limited square footage! 1.5 bath is appropriate for a 2 bedroom.

The safest thing to do would be to clear and pave a buffer of a few hundred feet between the mountains and the residential area and then rebuild the residential area into concrete mid- and high-rises whose structures are not fuel, but we’re not ready for that conversation.
