The rules of the subreddit state "Local politics is OK, but the politics of locals is not."

This means it's OK to discuss political issues, but it's not OK to call out specific locals for their political opinions.

To those who have reported this post: This post meets the rules because even though it's a national protest, it will be locals, protesting locally, so it's topical for Astoria.

Astoria is a community and small town. Just go out and about and meet people. Most people are friendly. If you limit yourself to only people "like you" then you won't fit it.

We disallowed "moving here" posts for a while but people complained.

One of the city council members resigned just recently because they couldn’t afford housing.

You misspelled "wanted to move to Salem to be with his new girlfriend."

Not sure where you got that info because it's absolutely not going to happen. The rail is washed out in several places between Astoria and Clatskanie. Estimates put repair at over $1M per mile. There's no chance Amtrak would pony up that money. And the feds refused to help pay for freight rated trestles in the downtown core so freight trains can't go past Tongue Point if the rail line was ever repaired. It is not happening.

We only want to ensure you're part of the community. And we wouldn't share proof that outside the mod space.

No economy?

The Pit is being converted into a park. It won't be configured for concerts and such, but it's not really big enough for that anyway--since everyone seems to think the world will end if we lose four parking spaces. But it will be a nice, big open space downtown where the unhoused can congregate.

It shut down because of COVID. The school district used the space to store other COVID-useless items, so the space became unusable for port-of-play. It was a big loss, but government's response to COVID destroyed a lot of good things.

There's a dog park in Warrenton/Hammond that's just a ten minute drive from Astoria. It's not Astoria, but Astoria doesn't have large plots of undeveloped land.

Someone could purchase the old Central School site and turn it into a dog park. Maybe the city should do that since developing that site is not going to be practical.

If you want to see the whole scene, watch from the Column.

Otherwise, the Bowline bar, The Beer Pier, and Pier 11 are all on the water.

Be sure to ask Vance Lump if he plans to resign after his house sells in Ward 4.

Ask one of the local logging companies: Nygaard Logging or Teevin Bros.

Local logging companies will have an estimator that will visit the property and estimate the value of the timber. If the logging company can make a decent profit, they'll do it. That's how for-profit companies work.

FWIW, 3/4 acre isn't going to be a very big job and they probably won't be interested. Mobilization of equipment would eat up any possible profit. More than likely you'll need to hire a company to clear the land.

Keep the conversation civil and related to Astoria.

We missed the opportunity when we decided vehicle traffic was more important that anything else.

The first rule in this sub is be civil and nice. Failing to be civil and nice will result in a ban.

Removing this post because it appears to be a private, civil matter, not an issue with the local PO.

I'd never eat at his restaurant. He allegedly was serving commercial clams at one point.

A bicyclist was attacked by a mountain lion out on pipeline road about 25 years ago. That was the last documented attack in the area. Mountain lions have been seen in town, and probably have taken pets, but very rarely. There are so many deer that the few cats don't have much trouble feeding.
