If anything Portland has been more sluggish in adopting zoning for density around MAX stations than some of its own suburbs. I mean, wouldn’t people generally agree that it’s odd that a central city is lower density than about half of its major suburbs? Of course, it has also been more sluggish in adopting the car culture that marks much of the other development in those suburbs, so eh.
