Unfortunately it's not just Portland, there is a garbage dunp near Seattle that was forced by code to have a piece of artwork designed for it. Hundreds of thousands of dollars to grace a dump.
Amazing.

Austin, Texas does the same thing. When they built our new fire station, we were able to get them to simply make the fencing more decorative and have custom lights put up. I suggested a really kick-*ss flag pole, but they wouldn't go for that.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars to grace a dump. As is with most 'art' today, it would be hard to tell it from the trash in the dump.
