“If you live in a 15 minute city but your barista can’t afford to live there too, you don’t live in a 15 minute city, you live in a theme park.“
who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

Exactly. Bicycling in the absence of car drivers is one of the most fun ways to move around. Bicycling in the presence of them is one of the worst.
Right. Biking should be more relaxing than driving and yet, the constant calculations for survival negate most of that…

Look at the facts: the president leads through fear. He is trying to normalize the use of the military in our cities. He is attacking the core of our democratic institutions: free speech and elections. And all the while, he is taking away healthcare and adding regressive taxes, tariffs.

Now would be a great time for local restaurants and stores that aren't getting much traffic and need more publicity to find creative ways to feed their neighbors who will be going hungry once SNAP ends. Many of us would be more than happy to donate if you're putting food into people's mouths.
This selfless act of kindness by local small businesses just shows how cool people are here in Portland. Around this beautiful vibrant city, people are finding ways to help their neighbors losing SNAP benefits during the Republican shutdown. I 💙 Portland!
