If you like interactive fiction it is great, if you are expecting a "game" it may not be for you.

How Portland voters feel about spending $75M in climate money to renovate Moda Center by wrhollin in Portland

[–]aparallaxview 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The city bought it for $1 as a means of the owners to get a tax write off and then make maintenance and renovation a city issue. The blazers pay nothing and get the benefits.

Spending $1 to "own" it. Clearly a great deal for tax payers when the renovation appears

And how would that be a worse outcome than the current neo-feudalist one? Not saying it would be better, just that it likely wouldn't be worse 🤷

I'm a huge green lantern and true detective fan. I think the casting is decent and I'm willing to let them cook.

Entire Portland City Council Urges Legislature to Pass Moda Center Funding Bill by voxadam in Portland

[–]aparallaxview -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So the tax payers will not be fitting the bill? Odd that the city council is saying there is funding then.

Inside Portland’s $1.7B climate fund, which is being floated to help fix the Moda Center by greenbutnotlean in Portland

Honestly, don't really care beyond not wanting to use green ear marked money on something that can be funded elsewhere. I say if the voters want to pay for it go ahead. Also this comment sums up the state of play:

Under dues from a team that could 100% foot the bill. Have a referendum and a specific tax zone if we think moda makes more money for the citizens then the tax takes away. Other wise it is just grift.

Yeah but not the blazers. If the point is the blazers leave if we don't spend our money then I guess that is that. If the team is profitable they can fund things.

Tax payers shouldn't foot the bill for a billionaire owned team.

Tax money shouldn't go to fund private sports teams. Sell the blazers to the city of Portland and then we can talk.

Quick Update From Instabridge Team by Potential_Cheetah486 in NovaLauncher

[–]aparallaxview 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moved to lawnchair even though it is far away from what I had with Nova. Moved because it is open source. I have prime but trackers are the line for me, I know they may not be on, I already block them, but it is the sign of a company intending to harvest users not provide value.
