It's really telling when city leadership wants to double down on their tactics which are bringing such hardship to our city. I don't think any of of our reps are bad people but at the end of the day whether it's "ill-intentioned" or "incompetence" the same consequences result for our citizens.

If you'd allow equip PPD to enforce the law, there wouldn't be these extra costs.

he should probably shut up for a while after that tax return release.

You are wasting everyone's money and time with this BS. Please give us more police to help small business combat crime.

Yes, because of Socialism.

It's a loan, not an expense.

What is the response from our city officials from the small business community testimony about all of the crime that is happening? How can we save and support these small businesses that are the lifeblood of our city?

@councilorclark.bsky.social any ideas?

$100k? $200k? $300k? Doesn't matter to them. The communists are the peak of hypocrisy.

level of risk due by abolishing rent control and allowing legal evictions to take place. You will see new investors into the market that are willing and able to attract new tenants at lower rates.

#abolishrentcontrol and watch rents decrease. This may sound counterintuitive but it's true. Your rent is tied to the spread between cap rates and interest rates and therefore the basis at which the building was purchased. Allow real estate investors to buy and develop multifamily with a lower...

Pearl restaurateur sees better way Instead of low-barrier shelter, why not a recovery program?

We don't have a housing problem, we have a drug problem.

This will not work in Portland. I hope you have fun on your vacation because you and your gang will have to face the music when you get back.

Call the police and keep calling till they show up.

and where do the other 72% go? This is unacceptable.

Of course that's a good thing. We need more of this. It's not controversial.

Cases like this are up to our judicial system to figure out on a case by case basis. The fail safe is the open division where even retarded genderless rodents can compete.

You have to enforce the law. All individuals utilizing city shelters should be searched for illegal drugs and drug tested. Anyone found in possession needs to be passed to the police for processing. No Exceptions.

Disband it and let UPS & FedEx do a MUCH better job for the millions of USPS customers.

Acute treatment involves getting the person sober and then treating immediate needs then one transitions to a medium term detox facility in which they can have a chance to become clean and sober long term. Only after completing this detox and sobriety program can they then be eligible for domicile.

I'll rephrase it for you then.

Born Female -> The right to compete in All Female Division (Born Females Only)

Everyone Else -> Open Division

Everyone gets to compete. Females are protected.

Open Division.

Domicile is second to acute treatment. Domicile is part of the larger treatment plan but is not the first issue to be addressed if someone is on the verge of dying due to drug addiction and repeted overdose. Detox in a care facility comes first.

You want to force female born athletes to compete with male born athletes. You are sick.

This is what they voted for.

Here's a compromise that you may understand.
Born Male -> Compete in open division
Born Female -> Right to compete in Female Only (No Born Males) Division.

Yes, a treatment center. This should be emphasized first. Permanent housing comes second.
