Funny how streetcars and LRT attract so much development and increase density so much yet Portland has half the amount of complete high-rises Mississauga does and half the high-rises under construction.
The streetcar-oriented development in Portland is going nearly as high as the zoning allows. Density does not require high-rises; moreover, liveable cities are better served by a more even distribution of building height -- and cities like Portland and San Francisco understand this.
Portland is a liveable city, while Mississauga is a few condo towers in the midst of single family home suburbia.
