Like I said, this zoning has been how it is for about a year and a half in my neighborhood and so far it's been ok. Most of the homes seem to be owned by single families. A percentage of them are housing for the expensive private university that's in the neighborhood but at about the same rate that housing already was. Many years ago the four story wooden apartment buildings with retail on the bottom started dropping along the main transportation corridors. I worked on one corner where the three other corners were turned into these monoliths. 500 apartments were added and with only about 100 parking spots. That shit was disruptive. The neighborhood went from Portland's version of a ghetto to highly desirable in about 5 years. Parking seemed to be the thing that upset the most people.
