Lots of housing nerds post permit numbers from Portland, few post them from Salem. Check it out! Over 1000 units of housing permitted in the past 12 months.

How much of that's in Downtown? Downtown Salem desperately needs some new construction.

At least 157, since rivenwood opened. It depends on your definition of downtown though. I can do a GIS analysis on it with their permitting data when i get a chance. There's 300 units planned for just east of downtown at 14th and state.
