True, I also (w/o doing much research) am confused how projects get marketed, pencilled, permitted, then mobilized before BOLI steps in to enforce. Seems like it was inconsistently applied in the least. We have a housing crisis: not a construction industry wages crisis, even though they both matter

I mean, even BOLI agency reps are saying: ‘yeah, this is weird, but it’s the law’ and if we wanna change it: we need to get legislation to do so.

I’m saying this as someone who lives in the shadow of an unfinished affordable housing project also stalled on the same BOLI requirements. It’s BONKERS

Wait… you can just buy these?? Can I ask what the damage was? Do you do rentals?

Good riddance. Idk how you can look at anything ODOT top brass related and not think: what a sh* show. I genuinely feel horrible for all the people who have been downstream of this leadership.

A great place for housing. That on top of SDC waivers and lower interest rates: I hope we get to see some of these stalled projects in permitting get off the ground!

The lord’s work🙏

As a fellow 30 something: I still don’t understand where all that energy comes from hah

Sooo. Practically downtown or just f*ck off entirely? Is there a map where this situation currently applies? Also curious how PBOT’s programming of on-street parking gets regulated under this…

I always saw these and wondered what the story was! Thanks for the read!

Honestly one of the biggest wins for all of PNW
