i can think of ten dickheads who own businesses along there and will be HOWLING about the lane reduction so i think it's important we start as extreme as possible so we'll only be dragged back to centrist. i want a total embargo on fossil fuels in east portland and heated sidewalks

lads will be 5 when they start construction so let's all encourage them to build the sort of road they'd feel comfortable with their own 5 year olds walking alongside of

The New York Times **HAD EMAILS IN ITS POSSESSION** tying Donald Trump directly to Jeffrey Epstein's global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy –– in the middle of a 2016 election where a global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy was a HUGE topic –– and they didn't publish one word it for a decade.
Congrats again, everyone

i need all my transit-heads and city-planning-heads to go take this survey the city is doing about fixing the dangerous streets near my house and encourage them to just ludicrously maximize pedestrian and bike safety to the brutal ruinous detriment of cars

SE Stark & Washington Street Safety Project
Safety upgrades on SE Stark and Washington (92nd to 108th) by the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT). Safer lane configuration, parking, signals, crossings, and more. Project elements, map, time...

i often complain about my neighborhood not having a coffeeshop but the other thing it really needs is a by-the-slice pizza shop run by stoners. we used to have one and it closed and i miss it terribly. once i went in and they had two radios on playing different stations at once

they both love trains and what could be funnier and more charming than a brand new passenger service line between the two cities called THE MAYORS K WILSON EXPRESS. maybe it could run more than twice a day even

i do think they need to make a big silly joke out of this in some other way tho. halfway between the two cities is centralia, maybe we could ask the chehalis tribes to put something on their new billboard?

Anecdotally

a sales rep of mine who does like gloves and hairnets and bulk bags and pallet covers etc, goes in and out of warehouses all over the NW, says everyone is desperately trying to hire but all the applicants “want too much money”.

One feature of the collapse we are living through is that things poorer people have had to do are creeping up the income scale

They can spin it however but struggling to make ends meet with a hodge podge of sortof-jobs is both very normal and very bad

Are you surprised? I'm not. Ending unsheltered homelessness is very different than ending VISIBLE unsheltered homelessness downtown.

The Mayor isn't solving a problem, he's forcing the problem into the neighborhoods that are already suffering the most.

In the week since Mayor Wilson began enforcing the public camping ban, we are seeing MORE tents in East Portland. Those folks are just being swept into my district.

I told the mayor that this is what would happen and asked him to bring extra resources to East PDX to meet the displaced. He did not.
