The previous article on BikePortland.org is about how the Fire Marshal was upset about the number of attendees in the Expo Center. I'm not sure how the Auto Show gets around this every year.
I think like most of the Fire Marshals in Portland, this one just had an axe to grind. NAHBS just happened to be the unwitting wheel.
