Portland’s Sunday Parkways open streets program was inspired by similar events in Latin America. But the program is much more limited than the initiatives it was modeled after. @taylorgriggs.bsky.social argues that’s a shame, considering its potential to shift the paradigm.

“Can you imagine if the median property owner’s property taxes went up by $2,400 a year? Can you imagine the scale of freakout that would be involved?” Andersen said.

Why is the rent so damn high in LA? Simple economics: the demand for housing is extremely high and our housing supply is extremely low.

Oh yes, it will be very popular to implement a sales tax on consumers (who are, according to these people, already overtaxed) instead of multibillion dollar businesses. What a joke.

If PPB & the Mayor want to get more eyes on the street at the I405 underpasses, they should work with ODOT to transfer the land to PPR and build a skate park/pump track/pickleball and tennis courts and shit, maybe even a food cart pod. We have the SDCs, and rent from the pod could go to maintenance.

Dawg, just bring back the original bill and cut the tolling if that's what's keeping Mark Meek up at night. Keeping a funding mechanism for freeway expansions is not worth tanking the rest of the transportation package
Updated story w details of the funding plan Kotek plans to bring to the special session (as reported by The Oregonian and other outlets):
- 6 cent gas tax increase
- higher reg/title fees
- $30 e-car fee
- raise transit fund payroll tax to 0.2%

We simply cannot afford a doom loop for TriMet. Reduction in service will lead to a reduction in ridership, leading to declining fares, more cuts, 🔁 The cost will be increased congestion, further deterioration in PBOT assets and of course emissions. We can’t afford that. Call your state reps.
