Rumor What's going on in Portland?

HCP has empty bedrooms, brah!

 

I think we call that the 'waiting area'.

 

After doing some digging, there really isn't alot of details of the spending breakdown. The various topics are named, but not in details that i would like to know, in order to give a solid, in depth opinion.
With that said, they hit all the points i think they need to, to be successful. All thats left is how its implemented, the homeless are tracked and put into proper placements for their individual needs.
It reads as though its in their hands to fuck up a good thing. Lets hope they implement the programs in the right order, to minimize circlejerks and extra expenditures. due to repetition. If run right it seems like it could be a successful, cost effective program that breeds self sufficiency within those who receive the help.

 

That’s not Portland.

 

Oregon Senate holds first committee hearing for rent control bill



I hope this passes. But I fear the rent is already too high in Portland as these heartless a-holes have waited far too long to introduce this bill.

I have a friend I am currently helping to keep from becoming homeless. So this issue is important to me. If nobody else likes it, they can straight up go screw themselves.

 

So much can be done in the way of PR and marketing the City.

 

First look inside The People’s Courts, Portland’s soon-to-open pickleball/bar project

 

Right? There’s NO way this can be true.

 

Im a believer in positive re-enforcement for anything or anyone. You have been one to bring up positive things with regards to the City of Roses. I appreciate that. There's room for improvement for all things, and it takes a positive attitude and approach, with a plan to make a diffrence.
I had allowed a personal incident to somewhat steal my admiration for the downtown area, for a period, but have regain it back, because I have so many great memories of the area as a youngster and adult. I looking forward to spending more time downtown and around this spring and summer.

 

My rent is going up 25.3% in May. Good thing I'm getting a 3% raise at work! That'll cover the increased rent and rising costs of literally everything else..

 

Move to Seattle, SF or LA and let us know how things are there.

 

No thanks. Hopefully I'll be moving away from Portland in the next couple years, but I wouldn't choose any of those places.

 

I was priced out of an apartment 6 1/2 years ago, when the new owners raised the rent $325 in 6 months time. The 2nd increase was around 33%. If it wasn't for a dumb luck deal I fell into, I am not sure where I would be living right now. As I can't afford an apartment anywhere in the metro area.

 

Good luck to you. My kids are 4th generation here in our neighborhood and turned out pretty great. As somebody who travels around the world for work….trust when I tell you I could have raised them in much worse places.Once again, good luck.

 

Thanks. I don't think Portland is a shithole or anything, I just think there may be a better place for me and my wife personally to settle down, for financial and familial reasons. But we're not going to rush into anything, so anything is possible.
