It's very funny to me how NIMBY the Pearl is when this whole neighborhood didn't exist in 2000. If the Pearl NIMBYs were here back then and got their way, the Pearl wouldn't exist.

Cry more NIMBYs. We will build housing for people who want to live in Portland, and there’s nothing you can do about it. www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2026...

Ignoring that this story isn’t even newsworthy, it’s very funny that every reaction I’ve seen to this story is agreeing with his old tweets. Even on the Portland subreddit, which is very much not an ACAB/progressive place, the reaction is basically “and he was right to say it.”

Very happy to report that the extra lane ODOT added to 217 has fixed traffic

Good to see TriMet mobilizing and educating riders about where the blame lies for these upcoming service cuts. “Funding TriMet should be a top funding priority for our region.”

From an email trimet sent riders today: Decision-makers are asking Oregonians to share how they think transportation dollars should be spent in the future. TriMet relies on state funding, and your feedback could help preserve our service for generations to come.

Now is the time to speak up. Tell them Oregon needs reliable public transit.

Take the survey

Here's some suggested copy for the blank survey portion:
Funding TriMet should be a top funding priority for our region. TriMet is essential infrastructure that connects people to jobs, school, health care, local businesses, community services and each other. For me, maintaining and investing in a strong public transit system is the #1 priority.

So we wasted 20 years twiddling our thumbs wondering how to preserve an abandoned warehouse only for it to burn down.

You mean to tell me the predatory loan guy is trying to scam us and probably still move the team even if we give him the money? Wow, that’s so uncharacteristic for that kind of guy!

A denial of the master plan won’t prevent the Lloyd Center from closing, but it would delay plans for the center’s redevelopment

Finally, we want to make sure everyone is aware that there is no other plan. There is one Lloyd Center Master plan, and City Council can choose on Wednesday if they want to approve or deny it. If opponents of the redevelopment are successful, they will put the entire project in danger and the most likely outcome is that the mall closes with no plans for redevelopment at all.

All the way up in Brush Prairie, really? They really said “come to our transit union picnic. No, you can’t take transit there.”

Regular Shadow @shadowneedshelp.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Fun fact! If the MAX misses a signal in center city, it’ll usually take two light cycles for the train to get another signal. Each light cycle is almost exactly one minute, so that’s a two minute delay if a train misses a signal. This is why you shouldn’t hold the doors on a train.

San Diego fell from 5th to 12th most expensive rental market by building more multifamily housing per capita than any other California city. This is what happens when you actually build. The lesson isn't complicated. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/05/13/s...

I was right. All remaining Type 1s are tagged as ready for decommissioning. The event last Saturday really was the last time any of us would see a Type 1 on the mainline.

Nobody forced these people to live in the principal city of a large metro area. They chose to live in the city, and then start complaining any time city things happen near them.

Watching some of the testimonies from the IE4A council meeting and it’s amazing how many homeowners turn into complete crybabies when there’s a chance they might have to see *shudders* apartments in their neighborhood.

Don’t get me wrong, I have good memories of Lloyd, and I will miss what it once was, but its time has come. The mall was never going to recover to what it once was. Even if it could’ve, a mall is a terrible use for 20-ish blocks of city center real estate.

Ignoring most of the article to say that it’s so funny that Maywood Park is an actual city with an actual mayor. The place is literally smaller than most neighborhoods in Portland.

Without getting into detail, I think the type 1s are done at this point. If you like them, I’d definitely go to the event next Saturday. I’m guessing that’ll be the last time we see one outside of the yard.
