It's important to note that this train runs a less than 2 mile shuttle route and requires panels on the station buildings to charge batteries on the train when it stops. A great solution for a short tourist line like this, but you can't possibly run a train over large distances using panels alone

An hour to ski on a dormant volcano, two hours if I want to ski on an active volcano. Rock climbing 15 minutes from downtown. An hour if you want to go surfing.

Boston is a great city, and they are just a few hours from Acadia NP. But you can't really compare it to the West Coast.

The salute and DOGE happened in the middle of the quarter. 2Q is going to be even worse.

And to be clear, I'm mainly concerned that they aren't going to be able to add more seats moving forward, as the tax revenue has been going down as some higher income families choose to leave Portland.

According to Willamette Week, the tax is bringing in roughly $150 million per year. That equates to about $37,000 per year per seat. Average daycare costs are in the $20,000 to $25,000 range per year.

Is the county banking money for future enrollment increases, or is the extra going to admin?

Which ones?

They wouldn't be sitting on piles of money if it was actually creating large numbers of new spots. They are mostly enrolling kids in facilities that already existed.

You're giving them way too much credit here. This isn't even 2D chess.

Preschool for all is Multnomah County. And it's a mess.

False flag. Russia is known for this.
