We are losing too many parking spots and not happy about that. Also, potholes are a real problem.

Well spending on racial “justice” ideology takes precedence over filling potholes in Portland. You get what you vote for.

Our neighborhood is incredibly unique for its walkability, not just compared to other neighborhoods in Portland but anywhere in the country. I chose this neighborhood because I wanted a car-free lifestyle as much as possible. I'm in favor of prioritizing pedestrians. I'd also be entirely in favor of converting more spaces to disabled access spaces, short term loading/unloading spaces, or anything else that makes it easy to get things done when walking isn't an option. But the 20-foot rule benefits drivers too, by giving them more visibility when turning and crossing intersections.

Generally agree but unfortunately “enforcement” of our laws is a dirty word in Portland. It’s a broken city when it comes to ensuring there are consequences for those not following our social contract. https://katu.com/news/local/street-takeover-disrupts-portland-neighborhood-police-monitor-event

Who cares? The city can’t/won’t even enforce laws against no plates, no current registration and sewage spewing RV’s parked where they please. How would they ever enforce a law against parking too close to an intersection?
