And if you're a millionaire, you might be able to afford it. You understand that, right? Right?
Vancouver BC: Great urban feel, tall, and completely unaffordable. I'd be thrilled to live there if I could afford it, but I can't imagine how anyone can. Everyone I've known from Vancouver BC has been priced out and pushed out over the last 20 years, and it was already expensive back then.
If a city is too expensive for its citizens, who is the city for? I worry about Portland becoming unaffordable, but Vancouver BC is on a whole other level. Prices there are wild.

100,000,000% THIS.
If all somebody cares about is having a pretty view from a distance, they should move to Gary Indiana and buy some art to look at.
A city is a place for people to live IN, work IN, and play IN, emphasis on IN.
I would much rather walk in, live in, work in, and play in downtown Portland than downtown Bellevue.
