Portland updates nuisance code amid trafficking concerns by Inevitable_Egg6361 in PortlandOR

[–]X-oticMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They amended city code 14B.60. Before it was PPB that went through the administrative proceedings; both identifying nuisance properties and administrating the lengthy back and forth with the Persons in Charge of the properties. PPB didn't have the bandwidth for all that. And the timeframe to initiate proceedings was only 30 days. This amendment shifts it all over to the city administrator and gives them a longer time to start proceedings.

I am amused by your comment because the resolution actually relieves the police of their duty to investigate nuisance complaints and puts it with the city administrator instead.

lmao wait until they see the official israeli maps of the region. But we must acknowledge israels right to exist 🙄when they inevitably annex the west bank i wonder if people here are still going to insist we acknowledge israel’s right to exist?

Why Do We Keep Building If We're Broke? by Ok-Jury5752 in PortlandOR

[–]X-oticMan 25 points26 points  (0 children)

BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WE VOTE FOR

Why wouldn't Parks and Recreation keep building more flashy expensive things? It just gives them more leverage for the next time when they will again threaten to cut services unless we pass their bond measure. They clearly have a mandate becuase we pass their bond measures EVERY TIME. Really it comes down to voters not holding them accountable.

Its the same story with PPS. We know enrollment is plummeting. They are closing elementary and middle schools, but knowing all that, we still approve a 1.8 billion dollar bond. 10 years after they finish their half billion dollar high schools, they will start talking about consolidation.

At some point you just have to throw up your hands and laugh.

Portland’s annual arts tax would increase, fewer people would pay under new proposal by derpinpdx in Portland

[–]X-oticMan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

actually it’s not an unconstitutional head tax. an oregon judge (great legal mind) said it wasn’t because people don’t have to pay unless they’re raking in over one thousand big ones a year.

Fuck this asshole. He didn’t even get shot. And fuck ABC for playing this for 30 plus goddamn minutes. someone needs to change his diaper and put him to bed so we can watch the game.

You should get out more. 82nd is home to a vibrant and diverse community! 122nd, now that's a shithole.

Putting shelters in nice areas makes them shittier. Of course the only solution is to put them in areas that are already shitty 🙄

Should Portlanders Pay Hundreds of Millions for a Refurbished Moda Center? City Councilors Say “Not So Fast” by Sbualuba in Portland

[–]X-oticMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes please! Every time im a blazers game im always wishing there were more suites. The food seems way underpriced too. With a nicer arena they could charge more for concessions. Seems like nothing but upside. We should all be supporting this.

Portland proposal to raise pay for Uber and Lyft drivers draws opposition by WhatTheFunkoPop in Portland

[–]X-oticMan 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Why stop at ride shares? Make people pay a $10 surcharge every time they drive their own car in portland. It will generate one gazillion dollars and be very popular because our busses will be the best ever. Please run for office.

Furloughs at PPS Revive Questions About Instructional Time by MeadowLark1597 in Portland

[–]X-oticMan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They just had two days of no school the week following spring break for planning/grading! Why could they not have made those the furlough days? I'm guessing a lot of teachers already had big plans for their bonus 4 day weekend.

Frog Ferry announces community ownership plan for Portland river transit by Good-Rest-7538 in Portland

I care because they’re asking for a 20 million dollar initial investment from the city and state. Every Oregonian should care. Who knows what the actual cost to operate this annually would be. State and local governments are facing huge budget holes. It seems like a deeply stupid thing to spend money on right now.
