Councilor Steve Novick responds to Councilor Dan Ryan:
"I give him one thing—at least he’s demonstrating that the Portland political disease of performative self-righteousness isn’t limited to the left.”

Always kind of irks me that Crystal Lake is bordered on one side with a pay to access park and the other side another pay to access golf course. It's always so pleasant at the Rhododendron garden.

Just finished reading, A Paradise of Small Houses by @maxpodemski.bsky.social . Lovely read.
Favorite quote, "... a reminder that cities are not defined by their housing and private realms, but by the public spaces that tie them together." #PDX #Urbanism #Housing

It has been really fascinating watching in real time the intersection of the administrative state and virality of social media interact. Obscure policy topics and rulemaking in the hyperlocal digital age.

See how P4A is in an impossible position? Spend too fast and you're wasting funds and irresponsible; spend too slow and you're bureaucratic and not creating enough slots to meet the need. It's a lose/lose and the State program isn't a replacement.
Preschool Promise is one of several early childhood programs managed by the state. The program aims to fill gaps in Oregon’s child care crisis by making preschool more accessible and affordable for low-income families and by investing more in child care providers.
Oregon preschool program overpaid providers and mismanaged funds, report finds
Close to $3 million of public funds were wasted on payments and awards made to child care providers enrolled in the statewide Preschool Promise program, according to an audit from the Secretary of State’s Office released Wednesday.

More and more I wonder if members of the @ordems.bsky.social / @multdems.bsky.social really represent me and my interests. Clearly these Dems don't. PFA has been huge for my family. Working class, modest means, blue through and through but having a long think... #Orleg
