This is why I love Portland: small acts of kindness and empathy that are so normalized here.

These "outdated narratives" that the CEO of Portland Metro Chamber is referring to here were being espoused by him last week, when he called for shutting the Central Library down because the surrounding area was too violent.

If Kotek is a progressive, what is her signature progressive accomplishment? How has she made life better for working Oregonians?
If your political philosophy cannot imagine a better world for us, then you should not be leading the line—against fascism or anywhere.

![Prevalence of youth homelessness and LGBTQ+ homelessness
Research has shown that those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning (LGBTQ+) have a 120% higher risk of experiencing some form of homelessness.[1] With up to 40% of the 4.2 million youth experiencing homelessness identifying as LGBTQ+[2] while only 9.5% of the U.S. population[3], LGBTQ+ youth disproportionately experience homelessness compared to their straight and cisgender peers. They are also more likely to experience assault, trauma, depression, and suicide when compared to non-LGBTQ+ populations while also being homeless. These statistics are even worse for Black and Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) LGBTQ+ populations who suffer from racial inequities and discrimination.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uslye4cdpdpqqjv3lseue2sf/bafkreiabceeaaewfsdovcmh7rrpe3g2eveh3giwtwsl67vj35rbnffeeoq@jpeg)

Washington County has been doing a great job with encouraging more density in its development in the last 15 years. However, it still only has 3 census tracts with a density of over 10k/sq. mi.: the east side of downtown Hillsboro, across the street from Progress Ridge, and Orenco Station's TOD.

The only mass transit systems in the US that are expanding, Seattle and LA, are both planning for this too, with construction or expansion of Line 4 in Seattle and the C and K lines in LA. Portland is already falling behind.

For reference, the BsAs Subte (F and H connecting non-central areas) and the G on the NYC Subway versus TriMet’s bottleneck system where all lines are built to shuttle folks from suburbs to downtown.
