Councilor Sameer Kanal diagnosed the different sides of this issue as “status quo versus change.” He pointed out that half of Portlanders are renters, but they've been underrepresented in local leadership, and cast aside accordingly. Ryan seemed to take that as an affront to homeowners like himself.

Renters: I want to hear from you! At our next Homelessness and Housing Committee meeting on Tuesday, November 18, we’re holding open public testimony so renters can speak directly to councilors about their experiences and what they’d like to see from the City.

Not only does this story get a number of basic facts wrong, it doesn’t take time to actually explore why Portlanders elected these folks. Coming in with a pre-baked PDX story to fit a NYT narrative about NYC is harmful, especially at this moment.

Refuse to believe people who say they want the best for Portland if they spend time/energy mobilizing opposition against housing as a human right or universal preschool. Use power to push back against Trump’s threats and do more to make Portland safer for children, immigrants and unhoused people.

everyone should get a public defender at eviction court and i'm not kidding
A 68-year-old veteran with disabilities got an eviction notice last week for unpaid rent he didn't know he owed. With swift intervention from a tenant union and a city councilor, the eviction case was dismissed. Tenant rights advocates say the case underscores a larger, systemic problem.
