I do agree though, office space should be located in downtowns of the core city, and we shouldn't encourage otherwise. It's really about educating people on the matter.

Portland isn't dense because of geography. They voted in the '70s to create a green belt around the metro that would never be developed. There is plenty of land surrounding Portland that could be built on. They've made a choice not to. Chicago and NYC are not great examples, either. They both have massive suburbs outside their cores that sprawl for miles.
