Every left-ish person who isn’t really following “this whole transit thing” and says “fast frequent free” before scrolling on: they are trying to use fare evasion as a pretext for cutting funding. Plz help
Rep. Boshart Davis also wants to limit state transit funding only to transit agencies that can prove they have a farebox recovery ratio of 50% or more. Looks like a clear ploy to freeze out TriMet, since their current ratio is about 7%.

My key criticism of SIPP is that our active transportation network is a *network*. If you take the bus from centennial or bike from hayhurst, you are still traveling on MLK or Cesar Chavez. You can’t separate *your* neighborhood from the context of the larger network.

If we can’t put PCEF money towards saving the bus that people already ride, we sure as fuck aren’t doing this.
City and state officials have vowed to keep the Trail Blazers in Portland, but to do that they need to raise more than a half a billion dollars to renovate the nearly 30-year-old Moda Center. Portland's mayor has suggested a solution: tapping into the city's climate fund.

Portland’s billion dollar climate fund is being eyed to help pay for upgrades to the Moda Center, in an effort to keep the Trail Blazers in the city.

NOW! do it NOW! No time for questions. NOW!
Waymo wants to operate in Portland.
This AV bill being pushed by the legislature, HB 4085, has 8 sponsors. None of them represent Portland.
City of Portland opposes the bill.
Tell me again why it's time for this bill?

The Portland deep state gets really mad that someone won a campaign w/ short-form video b/c the old system was designed to exclude regular people thru friction and opacity.
The latest attempts of discredit me are to disparagingly call me an “influencer” but the only reason they’re not calling my colleagues that is because most of them are not as good at using social media to communicate to their constituents 😂 If I wasn’t skilled, it wouldn’t even be a discussion

in an era when carnivore diet influencers are in charge of the american nuclear arsenal we have to admit the "annoying vegan" stereotype barely ever actually existed and the "all meat diet guy" is real, increasingly omnipresent, and way more annoying and inconvenient to actually be around

Visited Bethanies house open house in nw today. I have mixed feelings abt congregate shelters but this looks helpful.
Sad that I saw an older guy getting interviewed in the corner and thought “do I need to give a testimonial defending the honor of blanchet house against NA’s”. We shouldn’t have to!

We hired a new city administrator and it took him a couple weeks to find out the pre-charter government was basically Vibe Code.
The Portland Housing Bureau (PHB) is sitting on $106 million in unspent funds, far more than was previously reported. City Administrator Raymond Lee outlined the funding in a memo Friday afternoon.
Update: Portland Housing Bureau's Unspent Funds Reach $106 Million
News of the unspent money comes two months after city councilors learned the city's Rental Services Office amassed $21 million in revenue, which went unreported for months.

I’m reminded of of “blitz scaling”; in the 2010s, rideshare companies used their VC $$$ to undercharge for rides compared to taxi competitors, then jacked prices once they cornered market. Could we see similarities w/r/t to safety, especially as technical limitations arise w/ ridership increases?
As always, be sure to read all the interesting perspectives and ideas about this story in the comment section

Can someone explain to me what is so urgent about renovating an arena that was built 30 years ago. Is the Jumbotron going to fall on someone. Is the floor going to break under people’s feet. Can’t they just play the game in the normal stadium
You’ll never guess which Deputy City Administrator (with deep ties to PBA lobbyists) wants to raid $75 million of PCEF funds for Moda Center renovations.
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...
