An inspiring night at the @ULPDX gala hearing from the Black women in our city I look up to like @RukaiyahAdams & @TrueNkenge who are fighting for Portland every day. We are "community rich" as they say 🥹🫶🏾 & I love running into @themayoress & meeting Ivan McClellan!

$400 million for this project in light of 10,000 people homeless and most unsheltered this winter is irresponsible and misguided. Priority is people. oregonlive.com/entertainment…

“Overdoses went up basically everywhere,” Davis told OPB. “What didn’t happen, is that they didn’t seem to go up more in Oregon after Measure 110 went into effect." opb.org/article/2023/09/27/o…

tl:dr
Portland has provided its amicus support by joining along with the League of Oregon Cities, Association of Idaho Cities, Special Districts Association of Oregon, and the Washington State Association of Municipal Attorneys. The Martin and Johnson decisions have dramatically undermined the ability of cities in the 9th Circuit to confront externalities of the homeless crisis. In Oregon, House Bill 3115 further tied cities' hands. These decisions and Oregon law have given unsanctioned campers elevated rights, whether they are our children or felons straight off the bus from Florida. All at the expense of ordinary Oregon residents and cities. To improve livability in Oregon cities, we badly need the Supreme Court to review Martin & Johnson and for the Oregon Legislature to rethink some of its recent legislation on homelessness, as well as drugs and criminal justice reform (more on that later). Until that happens, Portland and Multnomah County need to continue to work together to find solutions to the crises on our streets.

There is zero excuse to have this bad of density in the most transit-rich part of our city.
Done! The Central City is underpopulated — it's no wonder that only 15% of my SE neighbors feel safe walking there at night. As Jane Jacobs shows, our neighbors keep us safe. Getting our downtown population density on par with Slabtown & Belmont would be huge:

"Embracing the decay" is my new life motto.
Fox News tried to do a bunch of scary man-on-the-street interviews about crime. It didn't go well.
