Reposted by PDX DSA Housing Working GroupTaylor Griggs @taylorgriggs.bsky.social · 19/11/2025Councilor Sameer Kanal diagnosed the different sides of this issue as “status quo versus change.” He pointed out that half of Portlanders are renters, but they've been underrepresented in local leadership, and cast aside accordingly. Ryan seemed to take that as an affront to homeowners like himself. 7534
