Absolutely. 💯

some people want to believe homelessness is about the moral failing of homeless people

some people want to believe that it's about the moral failing of capitalism

but the reason we see the *specific problem* of homelessness, people not having a home, really is mostly about housing!

Transportation politics is about dragging people kicking and screaming into change that results fairly quickly in a widespread consensus that we can't imagine going back to the way it was before.

People come up with complicated reasons why art/music scenes are less vibrant now but it is like 90% just this

Advocates demand action from PBOT on concrete planter removals The planters were beloved by many riders.

Love how these advocates call the bluff on the dubious reasoning behind removing beloved diverter-lite planters: just bolt the damn things to the ground and keep it pushing.

+1. Just submitted my testimony in support. 🫡

(Sometimes I think about all the stuff PBOT is able to do with a tiny tiny horribly small budget and then I think about what they'd be able to do with even just an average OK budget and I'm like 😲😍.)

Let's include this data in Portland's Economic Opportunities Analysis.

Big news from @pigsquad.com ! PIGCON has been a long time coming and should be a really good time 🙌🐷👾

Portland leaders look to city’s cash-rich climate fund to help keep Trail Blazers in town A key city councilor expressed skepticism about the proposal to use clean energy fund money for Moda Center renovations, saying those dollars are supposed to reduce carbon emissions, not finance arena...

Every time I see city officials who want to raid the climate fund for XYZ project, I wonder to myself what could get done if the ultra wealthy paid their fair share.
