Nearly 2k affordable apartment units sit empty in Portland, according to data crunched by the O.
A chief reason: Rising rents have closed the gap between market rate & so-called "affordable" housing, keeping subsidized units out of reach for low-income renters.

I think what would help folks feel safe is the following:
1) Turn off KATU
2) Log Off NextDoor
3) Go Outside
1) Turn off KATU
2) Log Off NextDoor
3) Go Outside
On TriMet, calls for police service fell by almost half from 2021 to 2024. Still, when the agency surveyed thousands of riders and non-riders across the Portland metro area last year, only about half the respondents said they’d feel safe riding TriMet.
Portland police rejoin TriMet’s transit police for the first time since 2020
But safety on the public transportation system has remained an issue for some riders and staff.

Homemade chicken corn chowder. It's amazing how much flavor our leftover smoked chicken brings to any dish we use it in. Wish I had room for a second bowl. @ronistjohn.bsky.social

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway
