The excellent piece on the City’s failure to deliver on its promised Slabtown Park harkens back to the City’s vote in the early 2000s to fund and establish a City park on the Centennial Mills site on Naito Parkway, only to backpedal on its promise for more than two decades and end up effectively donating the entire parcel to a developer at no cost — despite spending nearly $30 million of taxpayer money in ongoing maintenance and then clearing the site for condo development. And that’s on top of the City spending $130+ million of taxpayer money acquiring the USPS site in the Pearl District and building a new facility for USPS near PDX, with hardly anything to show in return for its sunk investment. If the City of Portland were a business, it would have gone bankrupt long ago and several times over.
