Portland, Oregon, long touted as the paradigm of modern urban planning, is awash in corruption, government waste and public discontent. In "Debunking Portland: The City That Doesn't Work," Cato Institute scholar Randal O'Toole catalogues Portland's failures in city planning and offers suggestions to other cities on how not to repeat its mistakes. O'Toole concludes: "People who want to see their cities remain affordable, uncongested, and livable should look at Portland only as an example of how not to plan."
