Given any number of attempts, I could not have guessed that the station was built in 2015 and opened in 2021.

It looks like it's ready to fill up with suburban sprawl in the next decade, but the land use in the surrounding area until this point is insane.

They've been calling really early, and so far it's made sense, because none of the major elections have been close, but this one will be. They could be right, but I think we'll know much better tomorrow.

From emojipedia— "The Transgender Flag emoji is a ZWJ sequence combining 🏳️ White Flag, Zero Width Joiner and ⚧️ Transgender Symbol. These display as a single emoji on supported platforms."

Actually that 70% calculation assumes no exhausted ballots, so I think it's probably out of reach unless the opposition to Frey is quite strong.

It gets too messy for a good comparison without looking at the cast vote record data.

Remaining vote came in and it became harder, but it's gonna be close.

For comparison, 70% of eliminated votes need to go to Fateh, and in Portland, 68% of votes went to Wilson and Rubio when Mapps was eliminated.

More obvious in the details with a less compressed image

The object has the same ID, 'CCSW72', as the 'Collins Circle' viewpoint, so it might be some extra feature to 'protect the view of the west hills', or it might have something to do with this 'view street', which mentions 'height limits along SW Jefferson'.

I think I'll want to read up on it and figure out exactly how the scenic resources impact the plan first.
October 25, 2025 at 12:35 AM
Still might do this, but just fyi there's a bunch more detail and quite a few pictures in the CC2035 'Scenic Resources Protection Plan'.

Half of the views appear significantly impacted by vegetation growth in the past 20 years. If we aren't requiring shrubs and trees to be cut back to maintain the views, what are we doing crippling the growth of our city because of them?

I'm looking at several of these on Google Earth / Streetview, and it's making me really want to go to each location to take pictures, and put graphical overlays displaying the exact section covered by the corridors over them.

There's also the problem of the second TRO hanging out there. Whatever decision the court issues will have to include an instruction on that TRO, which McArthur suggested they didn't need to appeal.

It's a really bad panel draw fwiw, and (to my understanding) no matter what they decide, Judge Immergut's second TRO will remain in place

Maybe you already saw this, but yeah, they're a r/PortlandOR troll.

www.reddit.com/r/PortlandOR...

Their profile doesn't show up with any comments or posts for some reason, but the linked thread contains enough.

Hegseth already called up Texas National guard to be deployed "where needed, including in the cities of Portland and Chicago" earlier today.

Judge Immergut is unable to apply an injunction outside of Oregon, though. An Illinois judge will need to block it there.
UPDATE: Hegseth today called up 400 members of the Texas National Guard, with Gov. Abbott's apparent permission, to be deployed "where needed, including in the cities of Portland and Chicago." www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

That will have to be a separate ordinance, but one I intend to also take up

I don't think it's weird not to link your TikTok account on Reddit— I doubt they would unless they were taking streaming seriously, which I haven't seen any indication of.

The Utah comment is here:
www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsi...

I don't know why that one doesn't show up on the profile, but her comments on r/TransDIY and r/4tran4 aren't available except through screenshots taken before the subreddits went private.
September 15, 2025 at 12:07 AM
The Reddit account uses the same specific username format ('lancelotte' vs 'lancelott3') as her personal TikTok, which shows her face, and she's posted on Reddit that she lives in Utah within 20 miles of the Arizona border.

Yeah, at first I thought they were just talking about the relationship claim, so I engaged, but then I saw their post history.
