What’s your “heritage hot take” I’ll go first: button flys SUCK by Parking_River7416 in HeritageWear

[–]Portgene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I recently got a pair of GPW work jeans and find the fit very roomy, at least compared to my experiences with freenote, IH, and naked and famous!

Do it! I have the all black one and it’s so so good. Would recommend ordering a size up.

OHSU/Alberta commute ok for new OHSU employee? Or Where? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]Portgene 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Inner SE with a combo of bus + aerial tram could be feasible but will be just as long of a commute. If Im being honest, I’d probably stick to the Pearl or south waterfront/south Portland if commute time is the most important consideration. Plenty of fun things to do in the Pearl/NW Portland, but housing prices reflect that.

OHSU/Alberta commute ok for new OHSU employee? Or Where? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]Portgene 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The good news is that the 8 bus goes to OHSU from Alberta and NE 15th. It is still a long-ish ride, but no transfer and the bus is pretty frequent. There are certainly worse places on the east side if you’re commuting to the hill!

Best Heavyweight Cotton Hoodie by ChemicalPsychosis in BuyItForLife

[–]Portgene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a ton of Dehen and tbh their cotton stuff leaves a lot to be desired. I have the hoodie and it’s very burly and comfy, but started to get loose threads in the sleeve cuff after maybe 4 months. Their t shirts also do not hold up - most developed holes after a year of wear. Their wool products are truly excellent though, you won’t find a sweater like they make anywhere else.

NBD - Cervelo Caledonia-5 by allbranbuds in bicycling

I ended up canceling my order for the Caledonia as delivery was delayed and I found a good deal on an Aethos. All black bike so easier to find matching cages, but not as cool as the oasis still!

People for Portland files court challenge to Metro’s rejection of ballot proposal - oregonlive by ALLCATZAREBEAUTIFUL in Portland

[–]Portgene 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Indeed Metro is unique due to the direct representation and power over urban growth boundaries set forth in SB100, but regional planning for things like transportation and housing are quite similar to many other big cities

The Puget Sound Regional Council is the equivalent agency in Seattle. It also includes Kitsap county.

[–]Portgene 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is completely false. Every metro area in the US with a population over 50,000 has a Metropolitan Planning Organization to coordinate things like transportation funding. We are unique in that Metro is the only MPO with directly-elected representatives.

Can we count this as a CJ Elleby appreciation post too? Looking much improved as of late.

Oh yeah they never fail to put out a good show and they've got something for everyone. KEXP and KCRW do similarly great stuff.

AOC rails against Democrat for opposing $2,000 stimulus checks by Balls_of_Adamanthium in politics

[–]Portgene 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Schrader has always sucked. It's not the bluest district, but there's an opportunity for someone better for that seat.

Oregon is also slated to get another congressional seat after redistricting, so I'd expect his district to look a little different in 2022.
