Light rail is not a failure, it is the way of the future, it needs to be paid for and will be paid for even if my pretentious neighbors in their suv's fight it tooth and nail, they don't want bus service either, it allows the riff raff access to our pristine community. Snobs

JayYour Hillsboro, Oregon development does not really represent urban sprawl, Hillsboro is its own entity, the development in blocks from the Hillsboro Airport. It is located in the appropriate area in that it is filling in gaps. It is areas west, Cornelius and Forest Grove that remain agricultural communities that are wary of Metro and are…[Read more]

Hi Neighbor,New construction does compete heavily with existing stock., in some cases for the same reasons that Toyota and the Prius are doing better than GM/US Feds and the Hummer. Green is no longer extreme. "Eco" as a prefix no longer brings to mind hippies, its on every aisle of the Home Depot.I feel that to say urban sprawl will continue as…[Read more]

Thank-you John. Like most things, if your good at something it is easier. When I was an educator and counselor working with gang effected teenagers it was easy to get up for work and easy to feel good about what I did, the work…well, it was never easy but most of my college educated friends thought the job seemed impossible let alone…[Read more]

I obviously don't see eye to eye with Jay, just read the most recent posts here, however, Kansas City, really, I own a lot there. The author unknown in the above wrote Property management is pretty easy for those that have the experience in dealing with tenants, and understand that you have to think like a tenant, not an investor.

One last note, money spent on a bridge over Highway 26 to accommodate potential traffic on the outer west side would have been better spent on the Sellwood Bridge an essential artery…all done.

Walmart is in the process of filling what was the Lake Grove Natures. I'm still not an Intel fan. I think our discussion is becoming a bit esoteric , parochial, I can't say that I agree that this west side development will not effect Portland NW industrial or downtown.How will adding several thousand jobs and residential units not effect the…[Read more]

Thank-you. I am very familiar with the area, my best friend worked at Jackson Middle school and managed apartments a few blocks from this project. I have forwarded the link to the powers that be. I will say this though, Metro does not always make friends where it goes and there is organized opposition to it development plans. Farmers and family…[Read more]

There is what has been called the Small House Movement starting here in the US and its effects are going to have a major impact on the way people live in mid-west cities that have been subject to urban sprawl. Kansas City comes to mind, simply put there were no physical boundaries to prevent developers from building pleasant suburbs within a…[Read more]

Seems like a cruise ship without the water. Once "on board" you don't pay for anything. Hopefully the Pacific Northwest is in the itinerary. I'm sure we will hear more details as the dates get closer.

Portland metro is growing at 40,000 people per year, and this given that the Oregon economy never really recovers. Lumber and fishing are no longer the backbone of solid long term sustainability. Tourism remains solid especially with Tom McCall's legislation limiting development of the entire coast – yet the state does not have a sales tax. Intel…[Read more]

There is no substitute for being on the ground, property ownership requires some hands on time regardless of property management companies, their stellar reputations and promises. The more developed the property the more operating/maintenance costs, the more liability and insurance costs as well as government agencies and codes and lawyers. This…[Read more]

That is a very good tip about checking all the information and facts provided by real estate agents… remember they are only human and can make mistakes, plus they only make money when they sell property, so why would they ever tell you not to buy a property? Even though they represent the buyer or the seller their business is to make the deal happen.
