The Portland region has loads of underused land, and nearly all the other cities in Oregon are FAR from running into the UGB. And they just vote to extend it anyway whenever they want to grow into a specific place that's on the other side. (I'm looking at you, Bend!) It's nice that it's there, but it's mostly symbolic.
