The graffiti-covered freeway signs in Portland are a growing safety concern that @OregonDOT and @PBOTinfo must urgently address. With a budget shortfall of $32 million, transparency is key. Millicent Williams, the director of PBOT, owes the public a response on how they plan to

CAN WE FIX THIS? as a traffic reporter, the increasing number of graffiti covered freeway signs is alarming. Some have been like this for months. Can @OregonDOT or @PBOTinfo say why these important directional signs can’t be cleaned? #LiveOnK2 #pdxtraffic

Badlands San Francisco was my first gay club experience—a place filled with music, smiles, and vibrant energy from gay men. Now, Portland has its own Badlands! Alongside a Ritz Carlton and a Soho House, Portland is reclaiming its fabulous factor! Let’s build a city that’s clean,

@alex_zee I 100% endorse @reneforportland ! His policies are the complete opposite of @JoAnnPDX . Portland needs to get a handle on private property crimes, homicides, and the addiction crisis on our streets. @sophiegreenleaf something for you to write about.

The homeless situation in Portland has become increasingly nuanced. Last night, I noticed two individuals with headlamps going through my neighbor’s trash. Curious about their story, I met a charming couple: the man from Coos Bay and the woman a local Portlander. As I approached,

Reviving downtown is crucial right now, and it all starts with a thriving tourist economy. Businesses return when they see the potential for growth, and tourists flock to a safe and welcoming city. It's a cycle that can rejuvenate our downtown. I'm thrilled to support Spella

I want to put a stop to Safe Rest Villages. I believe Safe Rest Villages are not the answer to ending Portland’s homeless crisis. They are not a safe or compassionate solution. Rather, the spaces targeted for villages should be used for permanent affordable housing solutions.

Im running for Portland City Council because I can not stand and watch Portland be destroyed by senseless crime, vandalism, and addiction. Things have not improved since the last election. What's happening in your neighborhood that needs political change?

@CommissionerRG @PDXFire Fantastic Rene! I voted for you and I support the direction you are taking. Urban camping must come to a complete end. Letting people live in garbage while dealing with substance abuse and mental health issues is not compassionate care.

In the wake of losing Caitlin, a bright star in our workplace, to the fentanyl crisis, it’s a stark reminder of how delicate life truly is. Her tragic passing serves as a wake-up call to all of us, urging vigilance in these uncertain times. Fentanyl isn’t just a problem lurking

It’s not compassionate to let people languish on Portland’s streets, especially the young. As a healthcare professional, I advocate mandatory treatment and a week or more to sober up. Nonprofits like Portland Street Response and Street Roots lack healthcare professionals to

A homeless teen showing me his legs before they get amputated. He’s a heavy fentanyl/Xylazine user which is eating his flesh.He said he gets “safe supplies” from the Harm Reduction clinic so he doesn’t believe he heads medial attention.They call this compassion. I call it abuse.
