We’re thrilled to announce that Co-Chair of the Climate and Land Use Committee @councilormorillo.bsky.social confirmed she’ll speak at our rally as well! Hope to see you there, this Thursday morning: portlandneighborswelcome.org/events/rally... 🏘️🏘️🏘️ #pdx #portland

Portland, it's time to show up for more homes for our neighbors! We are excited that housing champion and Portland: Neighbors Welcome founding board member @candaceavalos.bsky.social will be a special guest at our rally outside of City Hall at 8:45AM on September 25th.

If drug addiction caused homelessness, West Virginia would have a higher rate of homelessness than Oregon. If we had more homes, folks struggling with addiction or mental illness wouldn’t be forced onto the streets, but we have deluded ourselves into believing it’s their own fault they're there.

Portland is already the greatest pizza city in the world, beating flyover townships like NYC or Chicago. But, we're living in their shadows when it comes to street food. Are we going to let that stand?

Transit museum great (not surprising)

We’re official now 😎

What a day to watch one of the most wildly queer and hilarious things I’ve seen in my life

Just passed facade articulation final boss on the train from New Haven to nyc

Finally, some inspiring words from @councilortkl.bsky.social! "Building strong towns is about safe streets, safe streets are about welcoming our neighbors, and welcoming our neighbors is at the heart of what makes Portland, Portland!" We love our city and our current and future neighbors! ❤️🏘️🚲🚶🏽🌲⛰️

Time to show up for housing Portland!!! 📣📣📣📣📣 let’s gooooooooooool

Portland: Neighbors Welcome hosted our third annual @shift2bikes.bsky.social Bike Summer Inner Eastside for All ride along with our friends @bikeloudpdx.bsky.social and @strongtownspdx.bsky.social a few weeks ago, with Councilor Tiffany Koyama Lane @councilortkl.bsky.social as our special guest!

Similarly if you’re interested in some @pnwelcome.bsky.social buttons + stickers hmu! I’m going to be speaking at “How State Zoning Standards Can Push the Envelope on Local Reform” at 11am on Sunday! Excited to see so many housing folks from around the country let’s goooooo

We are beyond psyched to see our City make welcoming people of all backgrounds an explicit focus area. Let’s keep working together to make Portland a place where everyone has a home and can feel at home.

haven’t waited longer than 5 min for a transit connection since arriving in this city. would be great to have this back home instead of plowing hundreds of billions per year into terror and violence. instead of financing a genocide in Gaza we could have social housing and fast and complete transit.

Councilor Avalos has a great thread about the potential for social housing to transform the City of Portland:

Join us for our monthly Happy Hour event on Thursday, September 11th between 6-8pm! We’ll be getting together to talk about all things housing-related in the city and state. This month’s event will be hosted at Rogue Brewing in the Central Eastside (look for us under the tent on the patio).

Street plazas are good

Wtffffffff man. Really fucking frustrating see this, and honestly something I saw coming with the idea of selling “abundance” as a general principle. It’s good to have more good things, and bad to have more bad things. “More” is not a goal in itself.

“Hello. I am a rich person in Portland who swears I am going to move because you are taxing me for preschool. Also, we must do everything we can to keep the Blazers in town, including taxing the poors, because, unlike preschool, the NBA is a public service necessity”

Inner Eastside for All Ride Sat, Aug 16 Meet 1pm, Roll 1:30 Colonel Summers Park End: Ankeny & 28th Rainbow Plaza) to eat & chat about allowing more people to live in our most bike friendly neighborhoods. with @pnwelcome.bsky.social @strongtownspdx.bsky.social www.shift2bikes.org/calendar/eve...

Yeah I’m mad that my 28 year old radical city councilor who is basically aligned with me can’t just waive away the law to achieve the goal I want

Look at my cat

Hey Neighbors! Our next happy hour is TOMORROW from 6-8PM at Migration on Williams! Whether you're curious about Portland housing advocacy, want to hang out with some fellow urbanists, or just want to have a drink on a nice day with some fun folks, we would love to have you! See you there <3

I went to basically gifted kid camp and as a result knew an unusually large number of kids who skipped 1-2 years of school, and holy shit do not do that to your children. Removing them from their peers does permanent harm!

Not the right student population to be pulling this shit lol. Going to be very messy

Inner Eastside for All Pedalpalooza Ride! Saturday August 16 at 2:30 at Colonel Summers Park Thanks to our friends @bikeloudpdx.bsky.social and @strongtownspdx.bsky.social for joining us. Hope to see you there! www.shift2bikes.org/calendar/eve...

Area man making $333k a year says taking away preschool is the best thing for the future of all children in Multnomah County

white collar workers who want to pay more taxes in exchange for better public services are an important voter bloc in portland and we are tired of being ignored!

“I was unaware of Angela’s views when I hired her to redesign my kitchen” — Dan Ryan, probably

lookout.co/santa-cruz-c... If you ask @wutherering.bsky.social and I how we got into housing politics we'll both tell you that living in Santa Cruz county will absolutely radicalize you.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

Come work with us to ensure that every current and future Portlander has a safe, stable, affordable place to call home <3. The priority application deadline is July 20th!

Reading a piece of history: "....and it was home to a thriving Black community for decades. And then a highway was built thru it." Every Time

Just call me an “immense amounts” bro, I won’t be mad, I promise

If communities wanted to block ICE detention facilities from locating there, zoning is within their control. Designate it an illegal or conditional use, absurd parking mandates, endless design reviews and public hearings. You could delay permits for years. Just treat them like apartments basically.

My stepfather is a Muslim of Indian descent who was born in Tanzania and went to school in Uganda so this discourse is extra goofy to me. He went on a disastrous date with Benazir Bhutto when they were in college where they got in a shouting match over politics because he was an African nationalist!

My most pro-zoning opinion is that drive throughs are a nuisance land use that should be illegal.

This is why they didn’t want him back: He is a witness.

What you'll do: - Build and expand our organization and membership - Work with our active volunteer base to enact pro-housing policy in Portland and Oregon! 💲: 9400/month 🕙: 32 hours/week, hybrid 🗓️: October 1st 2025-July 1st 2026 (with potential to extend to permanent)

Today was a great day for pro-housing policies in Oregon! HB 2138 and SB 684 both passed out of their second chamber today in the Legislature. These two bills were top PNW priorities this session. Thank you so much for your support! Read more about these bills: mailchi.mp/eab5f5cfaf69... #orleg

!!!!!!!!!

Ah yes, if you ignore the problem it will definitely go away, and insurers will definitely not either drop you or force you to take many of the same actions to reduce risk. So true! Reminds me of the legislature re-legalizing building vital infrastructure in tsunami zones a couple years ago.

PNW Board Member Heidi Hart (@wutherering.bsky.social) testified to the full City Council this afternoon in support of the holiday of system development charges:

America’s second-best pizza city after Portland, Oregon really having a moment rn

If you’re in inner SE Portland Senator Taylor is probably your Senator (she’s mine!) I just left a very frustrated voicemail. Someone pls primary her
