Portland should aim for a minimum 2% average annual growth rate. People already want to live in Portland, we just need to make it cheap and easy to build homes. 🏗️🏙️🌲🚲🦫

Thread of the occasional big hauls I do by bicycle.

Oregon Dems need to fix legislative quorum on the 2026 ballot so we can get a 6-0 map in time for 2028.

“It’s not war ravaged. It was war ravaged. And the damage that’s been done to Portland is really, really, really sad. …"

Portland is ‘not a war zone’ but bears scars of 2020, Oregon’s only GOP member of Congress says

“It certainly is war ravaged,” the eastern Oregon representative said, noting he wants Portland police to “step up and do their job.”

Holst Architecture has scheduled a Design Advice Request meeting to discuss a 100 unit affordable housing development for Edlen & Co Hacienda CDC. www.portlandmaps.com/detail/permi...

The building on Parcel A at 1701 SE Water St, would be the first to move forward as part of the OMSI Master Plan.

Screenshot from Portland Maps with aerial view and text "New residential project on the OMSI master plan developed by Edlen & Co. and Hacienda CDC. Estimated at 100 units at a maximum height of 65', this building will be affordable housing focused on community development with exterior programmed space and and a strong desire to reconnect the public and residents to Portland's waterfront. New pedestrian pathways, extensive landscaping and innovative systems on display are some of the values in the project. Storm water management will be highly considered in the landscaping and integral to the project design. It will be functional for protecting the building and designed to highlight the site's relationship to the earth and water."

On the East side of the river we probably have to do a bore due to the steep approach down to the river, but the west side should be built like the Market Street Subway, and most of the NYC Subway: Cut & Cover.

When Portland and Metro leadership finally decide to get to work on the downtown MAX tunnel, we're gonna have to be careful to not let them excavate to the and center of the earth in an effort to coddle a couple dozen whiney business owners.

This is so unbelievably wasteful.

I just can't get over the differences in scale between Ballard Link's Westlake Station as proposed and the original Westlake Station, off to the left.

Ballard Link's Westlake has two separate entrances underneath separate buildings, with one showing a long tunnel to get to the train guideway. They are at least five stories deeper than the original Westlake, which is tiny and only around 10-15% of the size

This might be the worst ICE video yet, because it’s literally random dudes hanging around, and then a bunch of heavily armed thugs running them down completely out of nowhere, because they’re brown. It’s a nightmare that would have seemed excessive in Jim Crow. Everyone in America should see this.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 1d

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

I really like my class 3 for my 6 mile commute into the suburbs. Helps me take the lane on a sketchy stretch of roadway, and the additional speed does help to make it more time competitive with driving.
