One thing I've been happy about is that Portland seems to be acknowledging that a lot of people want to move here in the next 10 to 20 years and they are trying to be proactive about making sure that we can handle the growth. The city is almost done with the "Big Pipe" project to handle sewer and storm runoff capacity increases and has set out an area of the southeast part of town designated for the next major growth area, setting up things to make it easier for development to occur quickly but within an actual planned structure. This year will also see the completion of the next phase of the lightrail heading down to that southeast area so that people will be able to get into town quickly without having to add to highway congestion. Urban planning can still be contentious and I don't necessarily agree with everything the city and metro has done but I'm mostly impressed with the planning that is going on so far.
