On the first day of the Towards Carfree Cities Conference in Portland, I was immediately impressed by a presentation on high-density co-housing projects that are the collaboration of Orange Splot LLC (a cohousing developer) and Communitecture, an architecture firm using innovative green building techniques and superb design to create beautiful and inviting high-density living arrangements in Portland neighborhoods.

Aaron and I recently got back from the Towards Carfree Cities Conference in Portland, Oregon. We gained some new incites both at the conference and on the streets of Portland. Also attending the conference from Humboldt were Noelle Melchizedek from Humboldt Partnership for Active Living (HumPAL) and Bill Burton of Library Bikes.
