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

Portland City Council member Angelita Morillo humorously criticizes Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, leading to laughter from CNN's Boris Sanchez.

this is something i would like to see more effort and communication on from both the council and the mayor, if i am being honest. i don’t have any issue with the housing junket and approve basically all housing initiatives, but the job situation here needs a lot of attention too

Congratulations, Los Angeles! It's time for Portland to pursue policy to reform outdated regulatory requirements that make it harder to build affordable housing - including reforms to allow construction of multistory, multifamily housing using a single staircase.

It’s been said before, but I’m personally brutalized by ChatGPT’s usage of em dashes. Humankind should have exclusive rights to the premier punctuation mark of written English.

America starting a self-destructive trade war with its three largest trading partners? Guess whose music that is

Wow! Fantastic turnout this afternoon. We were thrilled to see so many Portland: Neighbors Welcome members and community leaders show up at today's legislative event to learn about opportunities this legislative session to demand greater housing abundance across the city and the state. #orleg

It’s incomprehensible to me that Suki Waterhouse’s media team allowed this album title to see the light of day

It’ll be a while before we get more details on the program design (RFP is out for a program operator), but what do you want to see as a part of Portland’s E-bike rebate program? I’m hoping the “medium income” tier is at least up to 120% MFI. bikeportland.org/2024/06/27/p...

thinking about family sized homes in small multifamily buildings with aspects that we just don't see in the US... an 1160 s.f. 3-BR w/ a 125 s.f. south facing balcony daylight on 3 sides. ability to cross ventilate. usable outdoor space.

It’s really incredible how much BlueSky has seemingly encouraged folks to get off the sidelines and do some capital P posting. Legacy social media networks have hit maturity and feel joyless—not even taking Elon’s bullshit into account.

We are thrilled to introduce Portland’s new pro-housing city council majority and mayor. Our endorsed and greenlit candidates will make up 8 seats on council and the mayoralty, and we look forward to working with them to ensure that Portland is a city that welcomes all our neighbors.

Is McMansionHell on here yet?
