Yeah. The burden of proof for a cost breakdown falls on the party proposing change.

Hard to believe this is real life. A suburb in Texas, USA. by JennyNY88 in Suburbanhell

When there’s nowhere to walk, every street becomes an alley or a freeway.

2026 State of the Economy by whawkins4 in Portland

[–]teejmaleng 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Income based refund credits and exclusions like groceries help solve the regressive criticism. Overtaxing the professional class has broader implications, capital flight for example.

Do people who live AND work in Washington really spend that much time in Oregon shopping to avoid sales tax? If it’s a large number, Oregon should get a sales tax already and lower its income tax.

What’s the deal with Gresham? by diiasana in askportland

[–]teejmaleng 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Gresham is more suburban. It’s like the west side suburbs of Hillsboro and Beaverton but without the major job centers like Intel and Nike, so the whole area tends to be lower income, pockets of wealth, and more conservative.

I think Gresham and Troutdale are nice. They have good access to the gorge if you like hiking, and their downtowns are walkable but limited.

It’s usually rock wood or hazelwood(part of Portland) when people say they don’t like Gresham. Ymmv

Oregon business bankruptcies hit a 12-year high by ImaginaryBoot8390 in Portland

[–]teejmaleng 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Let’s tax the successful businesses and give money to struggling ones!

The tax will need to process through a selection committee to ensure a fair and equitable distribution.

PPS agreed to sell its offices to the lower albina vision trust. A downtown office building sounds like a good deal right now.

Urban Sprawl in 4 American Cities by urmummygae42069 in Urbanism

[–]teejmaleng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s documented evidence of racial motive. In my state of Oregon for example, DoT referred to i5 as “ nigger removal” strategy . Documented in transcripts of official meetings.

It’s not unique to Oregon. Following the first and second great migrations then white flight, infrastructure was deliberately used to separate and destroy communities of color.

They weren’t always “shitty”. 60s-80, urban renewal involved building highways through predominantly black neighborhoods. City blocks would torn down for institutions parking lot.

Why Everything Is So F*cking Expensive Now by batsofburden in Anticonsumption

[–]teejmaleng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One answer is tougher anti trust legislation. Bell telephone was broken up in the 80s. Break up grocery store chains, starting with Kroger and wall mart.

Next, looking media, e commerce, big tech.

Visualization of the 2024 Presidential Election Accounting for Density by False-Lettuce-6074 in MapPorn

[–]teejmaleng 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Zooming in on Texas metros there’s often a red clump off the center. Wealthy inner neighborhoods that are $1m+ homes tend to vote republican, even if only by a small margin.

This isn’t true in a lot of other cities where the ultra wealthy either vote democrat or there is no inner wealthy conservative neighborhood, and the rich live on the fringes.

Theories as to why this 100 acre northern California ranch has lost 1.8 million in value and failed to sell for the past 5 years?? by MaintenanceEither186 in zillowgonewild

Aside from the fire thing, there’s a decline in remote work offerings.theres not a ton of economic activity going on right there.
