<blockquote>''In order to meet the demands of our growing city and ensure that future generations of Portlanders can live and thrive here, we need to take advantage of our&nbsp;entire&nbsp;housing area.&nbsp; Single-family zones make up 43% of our housing land supply while multi-dwelling zones cover 8%. Our single-family neighborhoods can provide housing options that improve the quality of life for current and future residents – our teachers, bus drivers, retail clerks, construction workers and students. We believe that RIP is one tool to achieve that vision.'' ''The&nbsp;'''[https://www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/67728 Residential Infill Project]&nbsp;'''has been amended by the Planning and Sustainability Commission to deliver even more smaller scale, less expensive housing in Portland’s single-family neighborhoods. By offering homeowners and home builders the opportunity to create up to four units on a single-dwelling lot (at a smaller scale and height than is currently allowed), the Residential Infill Project allows the return of attractive, popular and more affordable middle housing types to Portland’s residential neighborhoods.''</blockquote>
