Fed up with building in Portland? Consider Tigard. Earlier this month, Portland contractor Michael Gregory told WW about the thicket of regulations he had to hack through to build his 12-unit affordable housing complex in Southeast Portland. The same day, a planner from the city of Tigard wrote Gregory a letter suggesting he do his next project in Tigard. 'I read the article in Willamette Week about your experience developing housing in Portland and wanted to reach out to you to invite you to consider the city of Tigard for your next development,' senior planner Schuyler Warren wrote.
