What amazes me is that someone hasn't already tried this with shipping containers. "Like, yah, we'll just suspend them from cables over the street! It'll be, like, really cool! And the best part is that if you get motion-sick when the thing swings in the wind, you can just open a window and yack on the cars below!"

Where do you keep the hens?

Typical architects idea-lots of idea, zero practicality
Besides, what about sunlight for their gardens?

I presume these would be "drawhouses". Otherwise, what happens when a tall truck, parade float, etc. has to come down the street? Also, I don't want to know how the plumbing works.

Actually, in Portland what they would more likely do is approve treehouses as acceptable accessory dwelling units.

I do believe there is such a thing as public air space that these would be in violation. However, with the elected officials we have now, anything for the public really doesn't mean much. They have no shame in the taking what they want away from the people.

If the planners did look at Forbes, they would see that Portland did not get on the 1-25 list of best places for business and careers.

No place for the goats, either, so they couldn't get on the cuteness tour.
