Metro has long advocated development to take a "compact urban form." It's rather unsettling to see the Oregonian adopt that principle by moving to a tabloid form. I've had trouble reading it for the last week, perhaps because I'm old-fashioned (my friends would say "stodgy") enough to expect publications to follow the basic principle that page A7 should always be one page after page A6.
