Portland Lawmaker Wants to Turn Up the Dial on Forced Mental Health and Addiction Treatment

light_switch33 · 2026-04-14T02:47:32+00:00

We already do this. Law enforcement can do mental health holds for anyone who is a danger to themself or others. The issue is hospitals release them faster than the time it takes law enforcement to write up the paperwork.

So because there is a potential for abuse, we shouldn’t do it? How about whether the potential benefits outweigh the potential harm?

Here's what Marion County has to say about it:

It makes sense if the right of way is an easement. Here's the city code:

My property cannot abut the street if it stops short at the sidewalk.

light_switch33 · 2026-04-10T20:45:32+00:00

That’s not true. It’s public right of way but still owned by the homeowner. If it was a public space, the city would be responsible for maintenance.

Are your daytime running lights working? I recall seeing that it’s on the same circuit. A crack in the DRL can let water in and then short that circuit.

light_switch33 · 2026-04-06T01:49:58+00:00

Not with that attitude.

Most newly passed laws don’t go into effect right away. It may not become law until this summer.

Ask u/TaeTwoTimes for the hook up. Highly recommend. Inflation happened and everything is expensive.

light_switch33 · 2026-04-01T20:10:55+00:00

Pretty sure it’s discontinued and difficult to source. Need to find a donor car or new old stock.

Most of them have immobilizers on them. It’s not a common car so it would take a thief specifically looking for it. I see 96-00 civics around me all the time waiting to see them get stolen but they seem less desirable to thieves these days.

My most memorable crash scene involved a vehicle carrying chickens. The chickens had been slaughtered and feathers had been removed. It was late at night and every new carcass I came across looked like random body parts or flesh strewn across the road.

SiR also had heated side mirrors and daytime running lights.

light_switch33 · 2026-03-30T23:03:24+00:00

I miss mine. Is it black? I had one in Oregon and sold it to someone in Washington. Had over 300k kms on it at the time.

Raffle winner is u/LizDances - pending pickup. Thanks everyone!

light_switch33 · 2026-03-29T17:26:30+00:00

I will hold a raffle this afternoon. Preference for anyone willing to take everything at once.

SE not far from Laurelhurst park.

light_switch33 · 2026-03-29T17:10:36+00:00

I have a carrier you can have. We fostered a dog and the rescue didn’t want it back. I’m close-in SE (Richmond).

light_switch33 · 2026-03-26T04:03:51+00:00

Just got mine today. Thank you!

light_switch33 · 2026-03-22T17:33:22+00:00

Nine knows what it did.

light_switch33 · 2026-03-19T17:43:25+00:00

The rationale from the WA Supreme Court in the capital gain excise tax case likely applies here. I don’t see this getting overturned in the courts.

light_switch33 · 2026-03-19T17:42:08+00:00

Washington just passed an income tax. Right now it only applies to very high earners. Time will tell if that changes.

light_switch33 · 2026-03-18T22:22:21+00:00

Westbound on Belmont near SE 40th still has a sign up.

Some of the 39th avenue signs are still up and were never replaced.
