We're excited that we will be joined by special guest Bill Cunningham from Portland's Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, who is the project lead for the Inner Eastside Area Planning Project! We would love it if you (yes, you specifically!) would join us <3

Hey Neighbors! Our next happy hour is Thursday April 2nd from 6-8PM at Migration Brewing on Williams (at the outdoor patio). That's this Thursday!

Councilor Morillo has been an incredible champion for housing justice! Us D3 folks are so lucky to be represented by someone who stands up for tenants, unhoused neighbors, and more homes for all ages, wages and stages of life in our close in neighborhoods. Please join me in donating if you can ❤️🏘️

The Anglospheres culture of homeownership is built on the idea of losers and winners in housing. Our coalition wants to break that binary. A lot of people seem more concerned with “their turn on top”.

This shit makes me viscerally angry as a renter. Amazing to see it spelled out by the literal organization for the position of renters can get fucked but the single family homes are the precious vessel of the Real American Family that will virtuously appreciate forever

We need lower cost elevators to make our vision of an affordable, accessible Inner Eastside possible. We highly recommend attending this webinar featuring Portland's own Cassie Wilson and Shane Boland!

Policymakers really need to let go of this idea that rental housing is intrinsically inferior and homeownership needs to be considered the normative default for everyone. The policies that flow from this view inevitably end up screwing over actually existing renters.

What is Emmanuel Grégoire, the new Paris mayor, planning for the city over his new term in office? —60,000 new social housing units —15 express bus routes —Completion of city's full bike network —Transformation of ring highway into a boulevard —1000 new pedestrian streets —300 new hectares of parks

Sometimes it can be frustrating that Oregon’s land use system has so many specific requirements that are slowing down IE4A as a planning project, but our land use system also means we don’t have this type of unhinged local process for individual projects! SHOUTOUT TOM MCCALL!!

Bro do u even know how many posts ive seen

At the food cart pod w the @publicenterprise.bsky.social hat (inspired by @fischer.bsky.social who wore one of their shirts that I thought was sick last year)

This cracked me up (quietly, because council chambers) because someone posts in the @pnwelcome.bsky.social slack about @drmitchpdx.bsky.social plugging IE4A in a different committee every few weeks

NINETY NINE ZERO BAYBEEE

WHAT A MORNING!!

Just a small sampling of the amazing testimony submitted so far. You can find our testimony guide here: portlandneighborswelcome.org/ie4a-resolut...

Wow! 36 of you have already submitted written testimony in support of an Inner Eastside for All! Thank you! It is incredibly important for Council to hear why ordinary Portlanders support more homes for all our neighbors! www.portland.gov/council/docu...

@pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social thank you for being such a housing champion!

ACTION ALERT: Support an Inner Eastside for All! We need your written testimony to support a resolution that would speed up the re-legalization of building apartments in Portland's high opportunity and amenity-rich Inner Neighborhoods! portlandneighborswelcome.org/ie4a-resolut...

When I think about Portlanders, I have the same attitude of the Canadians.

Monthly Happy Hour Thursday! Time: Thursday, March 5th, 6pm - 8pm Place: Migration Brewing (outdoor patio) - 3947 N Williams Ave Join us for this month's happy hour! This month we are focused on all things single-stair as part of the DREAM Single-Stair Design Competition.

I am supremely impressed by the ability of Revoke group members to resist new information and learn absolutely nothing in service of remaining maximally disruptive and creepy

This is so fucking funny congrats to the legends at @opennewyork.org

They have cactus cooler at the h mart on Belmont?!?!!

Look! You can daylight shit by putting bike racks in. It's not that hard.

@drmitchpdx.bsky.social might be the best poster on council but imo @fischer.bsky.social is the finest poster on pdx bsky

Extremely extremely delighted to see an Avalos Chair/ Green Vice Chair… LFGGGGGGGGGG

!!!!!

The Portland deep state gets really mad that someone won a campaign w/ short-form video b/c the old system was designed to exclude regular people thru friction and opacity.

Saw the play that goes wrong at the armory last night and it was amaaaaaaaaaaazing

There are only 2 real responses to housing scarcity. You can either build enough homes to accommodate everyone or start drawing up a list of “undesirable demographics” to exclude. I know which side I’m on.

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

you: oh hey the polls are back early what do they say me: woke's back you: what? me: *loading a sten gun and getting in a sherman tank with a pride flag on the side* woke's back

Shoutout to @bradleyclover.com for arranging our special guests!!

here's a longer form housing post, with three proposals for housing policy ideas portland could pursue in 2026 to increase housing production: urbanpdx.blog/a-2026-portl...

The math of this protest doesn't add up: 1.We are in a housing crisis. 2.The City Council has little jurisdiction over ICE compared to the DA, AG, or Feds. Shutting down the Housing Committee achieves ZERO FUCKING progress on immigration while hurting our most vulnerable neighbors.

This is who federal agents are ripping out of their communities and shipping across the country. This is the danger we're being protected from.

state-sponsored child trafficking

I did this for you and he said that we should expect to hear from BPS very soon.

It is a big problem that the safer places are also EXPENSIVE places. I want Portland to treat this like emergency it is. We need to protect our queer siblings who came to our city as a last resort

Solidarity with Minneapolis. Rest in peace Renee Good. We will fight like hell for those who stand in solidarity with immigrants. We will fight like hell for immigrants, documented and undocumented alike. We will love our neighbors. ICE must be abolished.

You 🫵 should build some homes! This is a wonderful idea!

Especially in this age of nightmarish transit cuts wouldn’t it be nice if we made it possible for more neighbors with average incomes to live in the neighborhoods that still have service/have some of the best biking in the country??
