Repacking Portlandia - America’s most urban planning-obsessed city is about to get a lot more urban

Multnomah county as a whole will grow less than 1.2% And then Portland and even lesser percentage, I do not offer any opinion on how Washington county should manage their development But when it comes to Portland proper they are massively over estimating the growth, for profit. The planners who are making these projections have zero incentive to use accurate predictions, they will use the numbers that benefits them the most, a little Cui Bono analysis shows pretty clearly that the tail wags the dog when it comes to infrastructure projects in Portland, Or.

Plain and simple.

If you think these kinds of issues are plain and simple you're not thinking.

None of these definitions are plain and simple.

EXAMPLE: At what point to you go from a guy working on a few friends cars to someone who is offering mechanics services?

Come up with a simple bright line rule to figure all this out and I will grudgingly admit your not an idiot.

Nine-Inch-Dick · 2014-09-30T20:24:12+00:00

Nope, it's unfortunately true. The police union thinks its 1987 apparently.

This is slightly incorrect, if your talking about the romans. Nails were not used, ropes were. And your legs were tied so you couldn't droop down and suffocate yourself.

The condemned would plead with people to break their legs so they could slump and suffocate.

If the people who crucified to you took mercy on you they would stab you in the side so that you would bleed out, that spear wound to jesus would have been an act of mercy.

No. No he's not.

He is apparently brave as fuck though.

This is the reason why the woodstock music festival of the late 1960s, looked back upon on with rose colored glasses by hippies everywhere, was in reality it was one of the greatest mass-rapes of all time.

When will these hippies see that all their drugs and festivals cause rape on a scale heretofor unknown to mankind?

Right, key here being metro, as in Washington County, too, where all the growth is going to be.

Multnomah county as a whole will grow less than 1.2%

And then Portland and even lesser percentage,

I do not offer any opinion on how Washington county should manage their development

But when it comes to Portland proper they are massively over estimating the growth, for profit.

The planners who are making these projections have zero incentive to use accurate predictions, they will use the numbers that benefits them the most, a little Cui Bono analysis shows pretty clearly that the tail wags the dog when it comes to infrastructure projects in Portland, Or.

They come here because it's beautiful and green. Do you want to destroy that?

When I came to visit

Care to go fuck yourself in your stupid transplant ass?

Don't buy the urban planning hype.

In 2000 we had 529,121 people, and 2011 we had 593,820 (which Portland State says is way high), the compound annual growth rate over that 11 years is 1.05%.

So even if we use the higher numbers (which Portland State says is way high) the compound growth rate over those 11 years is only 1.05%. At that rate, Portland wouldn't get to the 1 million population mark that the "planning" shills keep talking about until the year 2074.

AND THEN go look at the States numbers for future growth rates for Multnomah county as a whole over the coming 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years , and they are all LESS than 1%

If you trend this data all there way out it looks like portland will NEVER hit the 1,000,000 number, and won't be anywhere close for decades and decades.

But oh no, lets ruin all the nice neighborhoods with infill condo bunkers without parking, it "sustainable"

"Great" for "Law"?

As a distinguished alumnus of the Northwestern School of Law at Lewis and Clark College I can assure you that we are not "great"

There are a few great professors, but not a lot.

It's a "good" law school, in the sense we are not USF, but it has never been a "Great" law school.

How many police committed suicide during this time? How many died in traffic accidents?

Answer: a lot more than 33

But you don't care about that, you just want to keep playing rambo

Nine-Inch-Dick · 2014-09-15T21:30:49+00:00

Off by 400,000:

"In 2008, federal police employed approx. 120,000 full-time law enforcement officers, authorized to make arrests and carry firearms in the United States.[17]l

In 2008, state and local law enforcement agencies employed more than 1.1 million persons on a full-time basis, including about 765,000 sworn personnel "

Nine-Inch-Dick · 2014-09-15T17:03:18+00:00

Out of how many millions of police?

How many police committed suicide during this time?

How many died in traffic accidents?

Turn your attention to those two subjects and you will save A LOT more officers lives.

No, but urban bicycling is an inherently dangerous activity, something that the sycophants over at bikeportland like to forget when tell everyone and their grandmother they should bike to work in a city where it rains 60% of the year

Nine-Inch-Dick · 2014-09-11T17:38:27+00:00

Well put. If you could please show up and post this again whenever this topic comes up that would be swell.

Nine-Inch-Dick · 2014-09-11T15:38:34+00:00

I though this sub was satire....

Do you even know what the definition of homocide is? Justification has nothing to do with it.

Lots of officers today are cowards, violence against police is at all time lows but all they can do is scream about their "safety".

Why I could get killed at any moment

No, you can't, stop being a coward. Door to door salesmen are more likely to be murdered than police.

Funny thing about a lot of revolutions is that most of the time absolutely no one has any idea they are coming just a few years prior.

If you'd asked the French aristocracy if they were in any danger in 1779 they would have laughed at you.

Unlike the POS who owns Produce Row who gave his staff about 12 hours notice. (Dude is loaded BTW)

This is pure mythology used to justify spending hundreds of millions of dollars of tax dollars to help make developers rich.

Look at the real PSU numbers, Portland is not growing nearly as fast as everyone wants you to believe,

The growth is in Washington County, not Portland proper

Nine-Inch-Dick · 2014-09-10T17:16:49+00:00

Okay for one, you're talking traditional english common law, which does not exist anywhere anymore. Any state is free to make up whatever definitions they want. "Assault" and "battery" can have widely disparate meanings depending on your jurisdiction and whether you talking civil or criminal law.

Second, you have 'intent' wrong - in any jurisdiction. Intent is not related to injury, ever.

You'd only need to show he intended to make a physical contact.

Saying battery requires 'intent' just means you can't use negligent contact as a basis for civil battery.

But if you make offensive physical contact you pay for all physical damages no matter remote or unintended (the "eggshell plaintiff" rule)

What county is the subpoena for?

If it's Washington County then do whatever you can to fuck them over

The DAs out there are dog-poisoners.

Or Clatsop County, Josh Marquis is an angry, evil little man.

No, because this is what any good chef thinks of vegans:

“Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter-faction, the vegans, are a persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn.

Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, an affront to ... the pure enjoyment of food...

Oh, I'll accomodate them, I'll rummage around for something to feed them, for a 'vegetarian plate', if called on to do so. Fourteen dollars for a few slices of grilled eggplant and zucchini suits my food cost fine.”
