The mayor and our city councilors need to spend some time in Jamison Park and see what we see every day. If adults don’t feel safe, why would they bring their kiddos to splash in the fountains and enjoy this park like they used to love doing in Summer. Help please!
The law of unintended consequences is so prevalent in Portlandia. Well intentioned ideas like rent control and forbidding evictions lead to a sell-off of mom and pop house rentals thereby diminishing supply. Pre-school for All funding and Metro's "Supportive Housing Tax" dependent on a small slice of the population leads to an exodus of high wage earners. And opening welcoming arms to drug addicts and the untreated mentally ill from across the nation because of our Oregon Values™ turns out to have unintended consequences as well.
City of Portland,
