Transit-Oriented Development is a surprisingly underrated path to ending America’s housing problems

America’s rail systems are still recovering from 2020, and robot cars are coming. Legalize apartments first.

I think a lot about how there's two concurrent visions of America that are dueling: one that's progressive and universalist and one that's reactionary and insular. Both of these speeches happening within hours feels like the clearest manifestation of this.

The Lloyd Center redevelopment represents a great opportunity to bring life to the neighborhood and meet Portland's housing, transit, and climate goals. To abandon a vision of thousands of homes in a mixed use, transit rich district in favor of a soon to be vacant site would be a profound mistake.

For me just spitballing, this proved to be remarkably accurate wrt Measure 120. I'm still not 100% certain how much one or the other influenced the result. My gut instinct says more the latter, but also its hard to rally support given how much was cut.

We simply cannot afford a doom loop for TriMet. Reduction in service will lead to a reduction in ridership, leading to declining fares, more cuts, 🔁 The cost will be increased congestion, further deterioration in PBOT assets and of course emissions. We can’t afford that. Call your state reps.

Lots of great tidbits here, but this one stuck out to me. Given the precariousness of state-level transit funding and Trimet's post-2020 timidness, having Portland act as a strong guide for setting regional transit priorities and exploring new revenue sources would be a welcome change.

If so, it would be our equivalent of abolition in the 19th century or decolonization in the 20th: the end of a barbaric and inhumane practice that the world is organized around and, as such, whose end is (at first) almost impossible to imagine and widely believed to be a naive dream.

Regarding the NW 13th Ave plaza removal: my office is engaged on this and actively working to restore these car free spaces. My intention is to pursue a solution in systematic fashion, via code change, because it speaks to broader issues in the struggle for who gets to claim our streets. Stay tuned.
