I wish municipalities would stop making #VisionZero goals they will never meet and just focus on murdering less people with cars than the decade before.

#Oregon - At least 372 people died while experiencing #homelessness in #Multnomah County last year

https://www.opb.org/article/2025/12/19/homelessness-portland-oregon-mulnomah-county-deaths-housing/

Although total homeless deaths have decreased since 2023, the number of people who died in 2024 is still higher than any previous year recorded by the county. At the same time, the number of people experiencing homelessness in Multnomah County is at record levels. County and city investments in programs to address homelessness have also skyrocketed.

Hey #Portland, Multnomah County Animal Services is in a critical overcapacity situation with a maximum capacity of 92 dog kennels, the facility is currently housing over 103 dogs on site:

Welcome Home Coalition is an alliance of over 100 individuals and organizations advancing housing justice in the #Portland Metro region. On October 23rd, 2025, Welcome Home Coalition and Sisters of the Road released a groundbreaking report, Finding Home: Lasting Housing Solutions Rooted in Community Expertise, which systematically captures the perspectives of over 650 people experiencing homelessness in Portland Metro on the housing solutions they want and need. Advised by researchers from Portland State University and #Oregon Health & Science University, the two-year study followed high ethical and academic standards and grounded in lived experience.
Finding Home clearly shows us what the people most impacted by housing instability and #homelessness need — through their own voices. Their message is clear. When given the choice, people overwhelmingly want permanent housing they can afford, with the supports and freedoms that make it possible to stay housed. Finding Home survey respondents ranked shelter as equally undesirable as living outside. We can’t afford to keep investing in partial solutions.

We are asking the Portland City #Council to stop funding mass shelter expansion and the harmful sweeps of tents and RVs. Instead, the council should listen to the perspectives of people most impacted and put funding towards long-term housing solutions. Budgets reflect our shared values. Choose #housing and support, not more harm.

The signers of this petition urge the City of Portland and #Multnomah County to enact the following proven solutions supported by Finding Home: Lasting Housing Solutions Rooted in Community Expertise:

(1) Honor the self-identified needs of people with community expertise and shift funding used for encampment #sweeps and RV removals to eviction prevention rent assistance to stop more people and families from falling into homelessness in our region.

(2) Reallocate any funding currently left for congregate shelter expansion into rent assistance and peer support, and prioritize all future investments to ensure existing 24-hour shelters and day centers have funds for rent assistance, peer support, and case management staff to create pathways to housing for current shelter guests.

(3) Increase the number of permanently affordable homes quickly by using public funds to purchase existing apartment buildings and hotels from the private sector and convert them to non-market housing. This strategy has already created hundreds of lower-cost rental homes, permanently protected from market speculation.

"For the rest of September, prospective new pet owners can adopt a dog from Multnomah County for just $25.

The county said Friday on Facebook that its dog kennels are 98% full. It was hoping to find homes for at least 50 before the end of the weekend."

For folks in Multnomah County, Oregon, you can take a short budget priorities survey to share your views with Chair Jessica Vega Pederson. The survey asks you to do 3 things:

1. Rank a list of about 15 different major program areas.
2. For a few of those major program areas, rank specific programs within the area.
3. Share whatever is on your mind in a free text question.

The survey will be open until Monday, March 3.

Oregon county sues major gas provider for allegedly sowing climate doubt

(luckily, I was one of those 12%, after falling in love with Rotterdam's Erasmusbrug while living there…)

#CommunityDesignAdvisoryGroup, 20 volunteers tasked with review and a final recommendation, decided not to choose between the public’s top 3 choices.

Instead recommended that commissioners approve the Inverted-Y design, favored by roughly 12% surveyed.

I got an alert for a multiple alarm structure/vegetation fire in #Fairview on Watch Duty (got notifications set for #Multnomah and neighboring counties).

Local news sites KGW/KOIN/KATU etc. are reporting a small plane (per FAA a twin-engine Cessna 421C) crash near the #Troutdale airport.

No info on how many were on the plane--hoping the residents of the townhouses made it out safely. #PDX #aviation #Portland

What a great rule to have in a county where simple things like merely being #homeless is considered a crime.

I'm also conflicted about the race for #Multnomah District Attorney. Obviously, things aren't working that great under #MikeSchmidt, but if the #PortlandPolice really hate him that much, it is hard to vote against him.

I'm sorry, but you've got hundreds of people sitting around in a shelter doing nothing but staying warm, and the thing you say the situation needs is additional people?

Just because someone doesn't have a home, or their home doesn't have heat, doesn't mean that they are helpless and can't contribute to improving things around them. Can we please stop infantilizing anyone who needs any sort of assistance?
