wait what happened

one of the best parts about living here

really odd the timing of this fixation on portland. sending the guard, sending the 82nd airborne, all these right wing influencers coming to stir up trouble, pam fucking bondi wading in and calling PPB antifa, all within like a week. 0-60. really feels like they just got bored with charlie kirk

there were more words after the word "pertinent" if you were interested in what it was pertinent to

is it bad that the president thinks he invented magic beds that heal you and forgot about it

I think it's very cool

oh sure sorry, I'm also sceptical of that

obviously theyre not exactly the same, its just obvious that "make a bunch of low cost shit" is totally a viable business strategy that makes money. for the same reason each developer currently doesn't build exactly one high priced house. developers can already choose to build less!

same reason for-profit walmart does it

hello from portland! the problem with trump's secretary of war sending the military here isn't that it's a distraction from healthcare, it's the part where the mad king randomly declared war on us!

uh i think you mean the empathy ceremony?

just call him a madman! sane people don't wake up on Saturday morning and go "I think I'll invade Portland because im mad about blm in 2020"

I wish Tina and Keith were doing less "we don't need troops here it's chill here" and more "Jesus christ it's insane to randomly declare war on us on a whim, you can't do that" tbh

I deserve an award for resisting the urge to spam this in all the replies today

usually it's wokely reinventing lynching, kinda a new one to wokely reinvent...ducking witches??

yes because im not a dipshit who got negatively polarised into thinking the electoral college makes sense instead of adding dumb swinginess lol

yes they were, due to how swingy electoral college votes are the gap means way less than you think (for the reasons that have been described to you). literally nobody is confused about how large ~300 is compared to ~200

it was close. if her support was slightly higher she would have won, that's what close means. that's literally the bit the ec obscures.

in terms of interpreting support the popular vote gives you more information, the ec adds swingy noise. literally nobody is confused about how the president is chosen

damn why didn't the affordable housing agency think of that they were too dumb to have someone send them a Tetris gif

holy shit you're so close

they had a set funding and lot of land that they clawed from a public thats actively antagonistic to public housing. it was the parking or the 26 units.

why not 100 parking spaces per unit

yeah tell me what the proper planning is lol

please tell me the plan they should have done to get 2 parking spots per unit without losing 26 subsidised housing units

I live in the Pacific Northwest

they had purchased that lot that is what they had to work with and the funding they had to work with what on earth are you talking about

living without 2 parking spaces isn't "warehousing" and building 26 fewer housing units to make parking slightly more convenient is bad government policy

...think it's good for the government to house people so they aren't homeless?

what are you talking about did you want them to open a portal to the parking dimension
