Are Pets on Broadway and Plants on Broadway, located directly across the street from each other, owned by the same people?

Hell yeah. We can win this better world we’ve dreamed up.

And, for the record, I’m extremely thankful that you and @councilorgreen.bsky.social are already there on seeing the connection btwn those two ideas and that you’re doing so much to push them forward!

FWIW, I think that “four floors and corner stores” is best for Inner Eastside for All, and “homes for all ages, stages, and wages” is great for social housing

Homeless people are not the only people who need homes.

There are millions of people who’d like to move out of their parents’ homes, ditch their roommates, leave their abusive partners, or move to a different city but can’t because housing scarcity makes rent too expensive where they want to live.

Yeah everything is shifting so fast that I can’t tell how things like this play. He might be so “of” the nationally-left / locally-moderate crowd here that they’ll follow it. Personally, I’d judo the revoke thing a little more but maybe he doesn’t care about how folks like me read it.

Good political comms let everyone, no matter their engagement level, understand what is meant though.

Hi
these are concentration camps

lol *Barbur, autocorrect

Yeah I meant on the West side, it runs into the jumble of Macadam / I5 / Naito / Barbie / OHSU over there

Concentration camps:

“For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

ICE detainees from Maine being held under ‘inhumane’ conditions in Mass. facility, attorneys say An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson said the allegations of overcrowding and lack of access to lawyers are false.

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

Where would you imagine a Powell MAX line going once it crossed that beautiful bridge?

Are they going so hard on observers that they can’t do video? I’m not seeing anything in my feeds

Does accountability become a possibility when unbudgeted funds cross the $100M threshold? Asking for a friend

Like I was saying:

Wow, this is absolutely shocking.

Welp, we just figured out why they’re trying to cover up those votes.

I don’t advocate for line elimination, but route redundancy is a problem. They could probably serve more people better if they reallocated. I think there’s a belief that people must have a one-seat ride… but if that’s the assumption, then ride share (whether human or robot) is the logical conclusion

New Costco with apartments breaks ground in South LA Ground will be broken Wednesday in a South Los Angeles neighborhood for a Costco store that will offer bulk buying and something new for the warehouse chain.

This article about the LA Costco (h/t @rithykhut.bsky.social) doesn’t mention parking www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/c...

Yeah, I don’t either. But if TriMet isn’t going to better allocate the scarce resources they have today, they’re going to induce support for changes that give people the freedom of movement they won’t provide.

That would be my hunch!

I was told by a certain local transit planner that we already have a grid system, but when it takes 3x as long as driving and transfers are 15+ minutes for a 3 mile trip, it’s not very functional. Meanwhile, we’ve still got a bunch of buses covering the same ground downtown.

I, personally, would be so embarrassed to publish pablum like this under my name.

Michelle Obama told us about what it’s really like at these fancy tables…

I wish we could get Costco and Safeway building in central locations with housing on top, like LA and Seattle are getting

Couldn’t agree more. Letters and op-eds are not even close to cutting it.

With a few notable exceptions, we have such weak leadership here.

Not sure about ADA bathrooms - it doesn’t seem like every commercial space is required to have a bathroom - but I know Portland zoning code has commercial space size minimums

And Thiel’s Palantir being deeply embedded in our intelligence systems, to say nothing of DOGE, likely means that basically every aspect of our government is compromised

"DOGE’s objective was never to save taxpayer dollars. Musk did not 'fail'...DOGE was—and remains, through Vought’s OMB—an effort to extinguish the existing government and create a new one in the image of oligarchs and far-right ideologues."

Cartoon by Joel Pett, about sustainability and climate change, in which an attendee at a climate summit, faced with a long list of the benefits of taking action on climate change, says “what if it’s a big hoax and we create a better world for nothing?”

every time someone alleges that we don’t *actually* have a housing supply shortage i just think of this cartoon.

what if the supply shortage is a big hoax and we allow cities to integrate and be more sustainable environmentally and fiscally and get rid of a bunch of pointless rules for nothing?
