- Portland Moderate.@pdxmoderatePortland Moderate.RT @pdxmoderate: Portland has turned a toxic relationship into a model of government: when you can’t defend your decisions with facts, you weaponize shame, attack the messenger, and try to silence anyone who dares challenge the narrative. The result is a carefully curated echo chamber where feelings outrank facts, dissent is treated as heresy, and accountability is mistaken for aggression. But let someone with a spine of steel walk into the room and say, “The math doesn’t work, the policy is failing, and you’re destroying the plumbing that keeps this place functioning,” and watch the outrage erupt. Suddenly, the person asking for evidence becomes the villain. The person demanding accountability becomes the threat. And the people who can’t answer a straightforward question start attacking the character of whoever asked it. That isn’t strength. It’s intellectual insecurity dressed up as moral superiority. Portland’s political dysfunction increasingly resembles someone who demands all the benefits of a civilized society while refusing to accept the discipline, trade-offs, and responsibility required to sustain one. It wants the benefits without the bill, the compassion without consequences, and the authority to dictate without the burden of proving that any of it works. And when reality finally shows up with an invoice, the response isn’t to fix the numbers. It’s to attack whoever brought the calculator. That worldview is a house of cards built on slogans, selective outrage, and the assumption that anyone who challenges the narrative must be a bad person. But facts don’t care about your outrage. Arithmetic doesn’t submit to your ideology. And reality doesn’t owe your echo chamber an apology. You don’t get to build a cardboard castle, blame the wind when it collapses, and demand that everyone else pretend it was made of stone.087023.2K

I can't believe the race against Republican Christine Drazan is so close. Probably because people believe all the bad stuff they see on social media. The truth is, Portland is doing just fine. The Democratic values of compassion, empathy, and endless second chances have made Portland what it is today. And I think the results speak for themselves! 💙🗳️0106

4721251.7K41K- Portland Moderate.@pdxmoderatePortland Moderate.RT @legaltweetz: The American left trained me for a generation to be a political activist and operative. They absolutely LOVED me when I was on their side because I was EFFECTIVE. 30 years of experience and training, plus being an attorney? The American left loved it. Now they want to vilify me because not only did I walk away from the Democratic Party, I walked away from trans. I used to be their golden child. Now I’m their ultimate apostate. When I speak about the American left and Democratic Party being corrupt and infiltrated by trans, I’m speaking from experience. I’m speaking because I was sitting in those meetings and rooms living it and watching it become captured. I didn’t just read about politics on the internet either. I graduated from college with honors with a degree in political science. I’m well read with a generation of real life political experience. You can attack and defame me all day, but I will be taking my time, training, talents, and energy elsewhere. I will be taking all of that and fighting the very thing that took a generation of my young life. They want to silence me so badly 🤣01.6K06
- Portland Moderate.@pdxmoderatePortland Moderate.RT @Jorj_X_McKie: Portland voters, are you paying attention? Or are you happy to see Portland fully go down the drain? We’re running out chances to course correct.Portland Moderate. @pdxmoderateThe problem with Portland’s policy class is that it has confused compassion with the abandonment of accountability. They champion policies like Measure 110, fail to adequately address the consequences, and then congratulate themselves for being compassionate while people in crisis go without effective treatment, neighborhoods deteriorate, and businesses pay the price. That isn’t compassion. It’s policy failure dressed up as virtue. Where is the compassion for the residents who no longer feel safe downtown? For the workers who have to navigate disorder to earn a paycheck? For the business owners watching their investments deteriorate? Or for the people who put $108.3 million into a Portland hotel, only to see a reported sale price of $6.83 million for 220 rooms? That fire sale of Royal Sonesta represents a staggering collapse in price. It doesn’t, by itself, prove that government policy caused the entire decline—but it should force some very uncomfortable questions about downtown’s safety, tourism, operating costs, and investment climate. The economic chain reaction isn’t complicated: When people stop feeling safe, foot traffic suffers. When foot traffic suffers, businesses struggle. When businesses struggle, property values and tax revenues come under pressure. Public safety and effective behavioral-health services are not luxuries. They are foundations of a functioning urban economy. Yet Portland’s leaders have too often treated enforcement, treatment, and accountability as though they conflict with compassion. They don’t. People experiencing addiction and mental illness deserve real help, and everyone else deserves safe streets. A serious government must deliver both. You cannot repair a damaged reputation with another task force, another slogan, or another tax increase. You repair it by restoring order, providing effective treatment, protecting commerce, and measuring results instead of celebrating intentions. Compassion without results is an empty promise. Policy without accountability is an expensive failure. And a city that refuses to govern effectively should not be surprised when investors, businesses, workers, and visitors decide to take their money elsewhere.01010

- Portland Moderate.@pdxmoderatePortland’s Royal Sonesta: bought for $108.3M in 2016. Now reportedly sold for $6.83M for 220 rooms—just $31,000 per key. A staggering 93.7% price collapse. This is what happens when government fails at public safety, downtown disorder spirals, Measure 110’s consequences go unaddressed, and Multnomah County’s mental-health system fails people in crisis. Tourism doesn’t thrive where visitors feel unsafe and downtown businesses struggle to survive. Portland didn’t get here by accident. Policy choices have consequences—and taxpayers, workers, businesses, and property owners are paying the price. @mitch4portland @pnwpolicyangel @TeacherTiff4PDX @kanalforpdx @MayorKWilson
3998194.2K408K - Portland Moderate.@pdxmoderateHere are the top markets to watch in 2027, according to ULI's Emerging Trends annual report just released this week. Portland still a basement dweller at 80 out of 81. No. 1: Dallas/Fort Worth. It holds onto the top spot. No big surprise here, though certainly apartment and BTR owners still wrestling with the tail end of the supply wave may like its prospects for the long term more than the short term. No. 2: Nashville. Jumped 4 spots from last year. It's still the darling market that now hosts an outsized share of industry events. Supply is coming down, demand is not. No. 3: Miami. Our host city for ULl's Fall Meeting. In terms of multifamily, it's probably the one market where local economic data doesn't seem to matter (or is weakly correlated with performance). Solid market and builders still finding ways to keep going. No. 4: Raleigh/Durham. It tops in-state rival Charlotte by six spots. The eds-and-meds economy plus government and some tech are a draw. No. 5: San Francisco. Up 40 spots from last year, highlighting that while ULl's list is intended to be forward-looking, it's usually more of a present-day lense. My guess is it's not No. 1 only because so many investors would never consider it because in terms of near-term strength, it certainly tops the markets ranked above it. No. 6: Houston. The Sun Belt market everyone loves to hate (and some got burned), but it's quietly performed fairly steadily compared to other Sun Belt markets, and demand-side numbers have strengthened. No. 7: Manhattan. Same comments as San Francisco. It's not for everyone, and growing policy risk issues create a perpetual yellow-light warning sign, but it's been strong for several years now. No. 8: Jersey City. It's benefited from Manhattan overflow, with big gains in supply and demand while maintaining significant affordability advantage. Some new policy risk given political changes here, but still solid. No. 9: Tampa. The CRE market here has more fans than does its local baseball team in the World Series. The apartment market here got beat up surprisingly hard last year, but the market has rebounded nicely this year as supply drops off. No. 10: Charlotte. Up 4 spots. Pound for pound, it might be the hottest apartment demand market this cycle. But it's drawn a second supply wave --meaning more supply than its peers in 2027, so it may take a minute to get going again. Portland ranks 80th out of 81 U.S. markets for overall real estate investment and development prospects in the annual Emerging Trends in Real Estate report by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and PwC, finishing second-to-last ahead of only Hartford, Connecticut. Underlying Factors Cited in the Reports High Office Vacancies: Downtown Portland office vacancy rates reached roughly 33%. Tax and Regulatory Pressures: High commercial property taxes in Multnomah County and slow or unpredictable permitting processes. Economic and Population Trends: Slower population growth, job losses in select professional services, and high local tax burdens @MayorKWilson @GovTinaKotek @jvegapederson
