While NW Portland's industrial area is underutilized, I'm increasingly skeptical of proposals to replace scarce industrial land with non-industrial use, even if it's dense residential development.

Cities cannot merely be places of consumption & services. Non-college educated middle income employment must exist in an equitable city.

Industrial areas are just easy targets for redevelopment because there aren't existing homeowners to complain about neighborhood changes.
