Gov. Tina Kotek set the goal of building 36,000 new homes a year to help meet demand and bring prices down.
Some developers are unimpressed with what they view as a lack of big, bold swings on housing policy.
Kotek could do more to help position Portland , the state's economic nucleus, to be the most competitive place to build housing.
Governor Kotek is asking lawmakers to approve $800 million for the Local Innovation and Fast Track program.
Senate Republicans criticize Kotek for continuing to invest in government-subsidized housing.
Kotek also is expected to ask the Legislature next year to tweak a law that promotes compact townhomes and duplexes.
The compromise was notable in that it allowed a dense development to move forward.
The homebuilder agreed to pony up for a traffic study and sign a good-neighbor agreement.
Neighbors’ key concern centers on safety improvements for cyclists and pedestrians.
“It’s going to be very dense,” Marita Ingalsbe said.
