Oh look, we have a know it all. Instead of addressing the topic, you want to ask a question. Last I known, no know likes a know it all lol
I guess Oregon City and West Linn suck also because those roads certainly suck as well. I mean who actually likes to drive Willamette Falls Drive? Molalla Avenue? Never known a person who lived in West Linn that didn't think they were better than the rest of the Metro Area. Are those really the standards you are coming up with for this argument?
I wonder how many of you actually own a business? Maybe from a business point of view, especially when your business has been affected by the protests, the homeless and drug addicts, if you will still be signing the same tone. When you’re working for someone and getting a check regardless of what happens to a work place you might have a different view I guess. When money is coming out of your own pocket for you and your family due to the things that have been going on in Portland I am 100% sure peeps would be singing a different tone
I've lived and worked in the Oregon City and West Linn area. I didn't have a problem with either. Happy Valley is its own weird pretentious area with people ramming into each other at stop lights because they dont pay attention.
Its not a know it all statement. It is a very important subject to discuss when people say businesses have to stay in Portland for them to continue to collect taxes. Knowing if someone knows what it is changes how to approach the topic.
Market based sourcing? So you are contributing all of that to remote work? I agree it definitely has had some effect and has been there since Covid but there is way more to it than that.
I never said there wasn't more to it. But Market Based Sourcing is a big topic when discussing changing tax revenues. It is hardly a sky is falling scenario about businesses moving out to get away from taxes as people make it out to seem is all. Most people dont understand that if your business isn't in Portland, you still can owe tax to Portland.
I believe it's because it's a military sponsored type thing. We have a (weird/good) thing about honoring veterans often. And I don't mean that in the sense they shouldn't be, but it's a weird almost over correction to how people returning to the US after Vietnam were treated. I think teams should honor positive members of their communities at every game. They can do a military/veteran, teacher/cop/firefighter, someone who works in healthcare, etc, and still have plenty of time for the stupid tic tac toe shit they do.
I honestly just looked for some kind of data that would support such a statement. I honestly looked with a open mind. Just nothing about any of the corridors in the Happy Valley area saying they are more dangerous that the worst 42 in the Portland Metro area. There is just nothing I can find to support that. Now as far as living in both Oregon City and West Linn as compared to Happy Valley? They seemed to be quite similar to me. Yes I have lived in all of them for extended periods of time though West Linn was by far the shortest at 3 years. Nope never going back to West Linn unless I get very rich and can move to the mansion area.
That has absolutely nothing to do with a basketball game. Sorry. This is exactly why the whole movement has lost credibility. Keep the politics out of it and allow everyone the safe place at the game.
Correct. And back to one of my original posts, if they do get rid of Pride night, no doubt there will be a protests outside of Moda. As a new owner coming in, if Tom makes one little misstep in the eyes on certain peeps, they will be all over him. Media too I’m sure. What a great impression that will make on Tom about Portland as a whole. Keep politics out the of it imo and let everyone just enjoy the game of basketball.
There is no need for more offices in Portland (meaning office work doesn't need to be done there so people will not go there to do it). Portland needs to stop thinking they can rely on that office space being full. Convert that space to other uses.
