Hellraiser is excellent, along with basically everything at Cinemagic this month. Chopping Mall at Academy this Saturday will be a hoot. And Clinton St Theater has some goodies like Poltergeist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Frankenhooker. Enjoy :) 🎃

Yeah, the “where the business activity takes place” is the tricky part. I used to biz law and always just told people to talk to their accountant on that - they make tax magic happen 🤷‍♂️😂

Learning that “small business” in the policy/business world usually means a biz with single digit millions in revenue (i.e. investable) was a tough lesson for me. They don’t actually care about your local coffee shop staying open - they care about keeping the return on investment in million$ corps.

"TriMet said the MAX Yellow Line saw more than 18,000 additional trips from Sept. 13 to Sept. 19 — a 35% increase compared with usual ridership." Stop making driving easier and they will come. www.kgw.com/article/traf...

Thank you!! Does the City still employ a downtown falconer? Could be more work coming their way across town 😎

@councilorkanal.bsky.social How do we stop this? Alternatively, how do we make shooting drones out of the sky for the betterment of society legal?

THANK YOU! I started and ran a biz in town and can confirm the taxes in the beginning were tough. Happily paid them once the biz was more established but those early years were hard 😮‍💨 This would be a big boost for folks wanting to start cool new stuff in town! 🙌

Anecdotally: I-5 being closed pushed some folks to transit, and this is a brilliant example of a) why we need to just demolish the inner eastside part of I-5 and b) why when we do that it will be just fine.

If Oregon Department of Transportation was thinking about the future of transportation we'd have more of this and fewer billions poured into freeway expansions.

Reminder that when some say Portland has "the highest taxes in the country," they often fail to mention it's only for individuals over $125k/year. And when they say it's higher than California and New York (oh my!), it's about a 3% difference and without those states' 8% sales tax.

This also pertains to folks living outside. Tired of people making a mess outside? Where's the nearest public bathroom?

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Something I'll never understand - if I want to make substantial enough changes to my house, it has to go through a neighbourhood consultation process, but someone on my block can buy a vehicle that significantly increases the chances one of my kids gets run over.

My biggest pet peeve is that there's a ton of scam websites that are "Free QR Code Generator"s then the QR code stops working after a few days and then redirects you to ask you to PAY to re-activate it. I made a page on website for making ACTUALLY FREE QR Codes. Enjoy. konig.games/QRCodes/ #QRCodes

Portland's job market is looking like it'll be pretty bad for a while. I can't think of a better time to encourage entrepreneurship in the city. Let people build Accessory Commercial Units in their front yards, or run businesses out of their garages. @councilorepg.bsky.social

Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s. Many of the cities we admire made tough choices regarding cars in the past, and are still making better choices today. Better choices instead of excuses.

Wide Amsterdam Road filled with jammed colourful cars, stuck in traffic congestion.

I think the lesson of post mall Loyd Center is that if you give Portlanders affordable commercial rents they will do something great. But holding onto this building should not be the lesson. A reconnected street grid and dense urban housing will be great for the city in long term.

Portland Oregon just does not need as many five lane roads as it has. One could even argue it barely needs any.

Want to increase the supply 3+ bedroom homes? Building dense, market-rate apartments with mostly 1-2 bedrooms does just that, resulting in mostly 3+ bedroom vacancies after the second round of moves that were triggered by the new homes. papers.ssrn.com/sol3...

Such good inspiration for Portland's Residential streets: 1. Narrow roadways (with limited on-street parking) to reduce maintenance costs 2. Infiltration w/ vegetation to reduce storm water drainage/costs 3. Narrow X-ings / wide sidewalks that enable 8 y.o.'s to be independent 4. Family-sized units

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford this in Copenhagen🇩🇰?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it?’ 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure..bicycling.”~ Morten Kabell

Stop consolidation is a basically free way to speed up buses. We can have a really fucking good bus system if we combine that with other low cost measures like bus bulbs, far side stops, bus lanes, and que jumps.

We must change our entire relationship to the streets. Cars must be guests in our city: not the main way we get around. People have used cars to kill dozens in Portland this year already. We must stop that pattern. We can't only fund repairs. Big change requires vision & real, supportive funding.
