Vancouver Officials to Review Policy Protecting Views in Effort to Create New Housing
A Vancouver policy that protects the city’s mountain and ocean views may be reconsidered to create space for much-needed housing and job space.

Now, some are worried that a change to the policy could permanently degrade the scenic landscape of the city. “But is it really worth preserving a second or two of those views for vehicle drivers when it’s impeding the delivery of rental housing or any kind of housing in a major housing crisis?” Meiszner said.

Portland, Oregon, Castle Sells for $2 Million at No-Reserve Auction
A castle-like home in the woods of Portland, Oregon, has sold at auction after first being listed eight years ago. Once asking $7.175 million, the home, dubbed Blackberry Castle, headed to auction with no reserve and sold for $2 million to California real estate broker Rick Edler. The mansion spans 13,000 square feet, and the gated property’s 6.4 acres include a vineyard with pinot noir and chardonnay grapes. Edler said he and his wife plan to “change some of the parts [of the house] that don’t speak to us as much” and live in the estate part time, with the possibility of living there full time in the future.
