its too bad its impossible for governments to help people instead of business and property
The initial idea behind No Vacancy was simple: connect business owners to property owners. But so far none of the businesses getting support from the No Vacancy project have actually opened.
No Vacancy, no grand openings: Pilot program finds mixed success filling vacant storefronts in Portland’s Old Town neighborhood
In early 2025, Prosper Portland partnered with the Old Town Community Association to fund a pilot project called No Vacancy to help fill some of the empty storefronts in that neighborhood. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the central city had a combined office and retail vacancy rate of 39% according to Costar.

📈 Take a look at graphs showing the number of people displaced by sweeps conducted in Portland, comparisons between sweeps and the amount of city shelter beds, which confiscated items are stored after sweeps, and more.
There's more, but you'll need to see the rest for yourself in print!

For those baffled at others' reactions to the video, I really can't recommend this classic article enough. "What people see will often be a reflection of what they value."

The governor acknowledges every child’s opportunity to learn while actively trying to undermine that opportunity for children in Multnomah County by defunding (voter approved) Preschool for All for the sole benefit of the rich.

Every child deserves an equal opportunity to learn. Since day one of my administration, improving education has been one of my top priorities.

No one says to legit business owners, "hey I see there's an underground market selling toxic knock-offs of your product: how will you incorporate the toxic product AND protect your customers against its harms?" But apparently it's fine to make this suggestion to educators with respect to AI.

Pies are meant to be savory. A sweet pie is an affront to God and nature.
I get a lot of hate for this view and in turn I'd only ask if you've ever had a pie as good as a typical cheesecake. The answer is no, you have not. Cheesecake invalidates the whole pie category. Hell, regular cake barely survives the cheesecake onslaught on the strength of carrot cake alone.
The dirty secret of pies is that they have the lowest ceiling potential of all sweets. Your best pie is merely fine. Your median pie is bad.
