The Puppy Bowl posted:Wheeler has his faults but that was a pretty reasonable and understanding response to a member of the public running up to his high profile elected official rear end. Yeah, considering how wild these can sessions get, I understand being a bit on edge by a dude getting within arm's reach and pulling something out of his pocket.

anthonypants posted:And then the landlords sued, and then the city moved the case to federal court, and the federal court said it had nothing to do with federal law and moved it back down to a local court. This is good! This is what she said she'd do. It's nice. We'll see if it the court holds it up. There's also a no-cause eviction ban bill which passed the state House last week and which might also lift a ban on rent control, but I don't think Chloe Eudaly has a lot to do with that. Some folks I know who are associated with the county are thrilled she canned the ONI director. Apparently, things were a poo poo show within that department. Same for the dude from Development Services. His department has a decade+ long history of being inefficient, impossible to work with and hostile toward women. That stuff about her personal story is disappointing as hell, but other than that dumb mistake + double down I think she's doing pretty well.

Cicero posted:This is an incredibly wrong, wrong statement. Bike infrastructure is INCREDIBLY cheap compared to car or good transit infrastructure, like at least an order of magnitude cheaper. For the cost of a single new rail line you could coat all of Seattle or Portland with protected bike lanes on every arterial, new bike paths, bike parking all over the place, probably bike escalators, etc. and still have money to burn. Supporting biking gives a city extremely good bang for the buck. Now obviously there are downsides to biking as well (more vulnerable to bad weather, not useful for long-distance commutes, not everyone can bike), but it's still a no-brainer because of its upsides and how cheap it is. I think this kind of employer support is necessary, and needs to be more widespread, in order to see an uptick in the number of folks commuter biking. I only work ~6 miles from home, but I don't bike because the route is hilly enough that I'll be gross and sweaty by the time I get to work. If I had a spot to clean up, I'd be 100% on the bike train. Dodging 40 minutes of traffic for a bit of exercise sounds amazing. That's not to say I'm opposed to growing Portland's bike infrastructure, but there are barriers that more public infrastructure just can't overcome.

Cicero posted:Not sure why you're confused, an electric assist bike is still tremendously cheaper than a car, both to purchase and operate (heck, it's probably cheaper than a transit pass in the long run), and not everyone has significant hills involved in their commute. And said bikes are still steadily going down in price as electrified cars/bikes/skateboards/unicycles become more widespread. I've looked into them, but the cost drives me away. I'm sure over the course of a year or so, it would end up paying for itself in terms of deferred vehicle maintenance/fuel/etc, but it's harder to justify the lump outlay. Especially when I'm riding a hand me down bike that cost me nothing.

therobit posted:So Portland Public Schools is closing the Pioneer School for high needs special ed kids so they have a place to put the Access Academy Talented and Gifted program. This is after they tried to clos a poor, black neighborhood school to put Access Academy there, but got too much pushback from the community. Seems like they can't take a hint. Originally, the plan was to move the Access Academy kids into a bunch of conventional middle schools. Another stunningly stupid idea. All the teachers at my school were stunned they would even consider it. PPS is such a mess. BrandorKP posted:Difference makes one a target. This is why everyone in our building hated the idea. The kids from Access were going to get eaten alive at my school. Their quality of instruction was going to drop, and their quality of life was going to crater. Moving Pioneer is going to like double (triple?) the number of paraeducators we're required to have. Unfortunately, nobody will take those jobs at my school so you end up with kids going absolutely bananas and punching teachers. It is very cool.

Maybe what you're missing is that Portland cops are nazis, just like the proud boys? They're actually just World War 2 enthusiasts. That's why they collect so much Nazi memorabilia. Wasn't that what that one Nazi cop said? #believecops

Kaal posted:22 cents is nothing and the logging and trucking industries are already heavily subsidized in a wide variety of ways despite forming a small part of the economy. It would be irresponsible to continue ignoring the oncoming economic catastrophe - estimated to cost Oregon more than $40 billion by 2100 - simply because it's mildly inconvenient for the 6,000 loggers in Oregon. Oregon's legal marijuana industry is practically brand-new and already is about the same size, why are we only talking about such a tiny sliver of Oregonians when everyone is impacted by climate change? Because they are honkin their dang horns in front of the capitol building. I think most people who believe in climate change are on board with, "Cap and trade sucks but its better than the literally nothing we're currently doing." Industry is going to change, hopefully globally (lol), in order to exist in a carbon-conscious world. Suck it up, dummies.

logger posted:Another hitch in getting coronavirus to stop is the fact that people still feel it's fine to have large gatherings. Last week the city I live in was in the news because someone that attended a house party of around 40-70 people turned out to be corona positive. Multiple neighbors hosted large parties for the 4th. Feel like things are gonna get real weird in about two weeks.

It's weird how much the red parts of Oregon hate Kate Brown. Her reponse to COVID has been tepid at best, but lots of folks hate her with a fiery passion. Oregon hasn't gone nearly far enough. So far, it seems like we've escaped the worst case scenarios through sheer luck.

Anybody who isn't insane or doing the, "we're all gonna get it/gonna die one day," poo poo knows another lockdown should've been put in place already. My feeling has been that Brown has aspirations beyond Oregon and doesn't wanna be the governor who "ruined" Oregon's economy. It's tough for me to see her having success at the national level, but it's the most reasonable explanation I can come up with for the delay. Once one western state does it, it seems like an easier sell to the rest of the region and I'm assuming Inslee and Newsom have national aspirations too.

HashtagGirlboss posted:Oregon reopening the bars (outside only). That didn’t last long. https://www.opb.org/article/2020/11/25/coronavirus-oregon-governor-kate-brown-covid-19-announcements/ COVID is under age so it can't get into bars. Smart move by big brained politicians to simply card the virus and turn it away at the door. Why even loving bother? You're like three steps removed from, "Open Everything, survival of the fittest, idiots." Kate Brown has dropped the ball every time she's had to make a hard decision around COVID. I guess you can afford to limp dick policy when your opposition is filled with raving lunatics who want to gently caress an obese septuagenarian.
