10. How do you do that?

to fit more people you either have to build up or build out, unless you have some new way that ive never heard of.

More people will come. If the city of Portland denies them places to live, Clackamas, Gresham, Hilsborough, and Vancouver will all happily accommodate them, further congesting and destroying even more of the surrounding areas. These areas are getting seriously wrecked even as is.

Also, It doesn't seem to me your comment re portland schools is fair. To start with, I'm not sure what you are basing your blame of 20 somethings on. In my experience, most of them are very pro school funding, whereas I find more anti sentiment in the "serious" middle age business types. And I can only think of one time in recent history that the vote has gone against funding our schools. Portland is fairly well known for voting yes on school funding measures.
