Prove it. Prove me that there are real city centres in Portland suburbs. Been 2 years, never seen one. In my knowledge the Portland suburbs have increased the density a lot from the 70's thanks to the urban growth boundary, but not in a way that promote's very much public transport, it was mostly filling the wide spaces between housing estates with individual houses.
