Half of all renters in Portland are rent burdened and 25% are severely burdened. As rents continue to rise and more and more people end up on our streets, we need to have a serious discussion about what the community needs to make sure that people can stay housed.

As I understand it, we're also the dumping ground for our neighboring states' dirty diesel trucks since their air quality standards are stronger than ours.

This NPR interview nails it:
the “ballroom” isn’t décor—it’s doctrine.
Trump’s gold-plated brand becomes governance:
unilateral, performative, exclusionary.
Implying that if you’re not cheering, you’re “not American.”
Just because it gleams doesn’t mean it’s democratic.

Locally, the Port of Portland and Zenith just asserted that SAF was great for the climate and the City of Portland (read: Mayor Wilson & DCA Donnie Oliveira) rolled over for them and shut the public out completely.
The CEO mayor was excited to use our city as an industry greenwashing experiment.

SAF is actually considered a fossil fuel under Portland City Code and the city weakened its own rules to allow Zenith to store it at the hub.
Oliveira rushed Zenith’s LUCS approval to prevent council and the public from looking more closely.
Scandalous stuff.
