Hi,
Thanks for posting such informative videos! I’m a student at WSU working on my Honors thesis about Portland’s UGB. The information you have on your website is great.
I want to use some information from the video “Portland: Quest for the Livable City”. Could you send me or post the citation information including the name of the director and the year?
Thanks,
Jackie
