Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment
Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days
True work life balance
Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

Is there anyone running against @tinakotek.bsky.social who wants to reform ODOT, capture Trump tax cuts for state & local programs, and doesn't take marching orders to destroy preschool for all to give a tax cut to wealthy people who just got a handout from Trump? We deserve better than her!

Interesting to see this happening here as Newport, Oregon, just a 2+ hour jaunt from Portland, faces threats of a new detention center. I won’t speculate, but I am a little curious how things might be playing out if the coastal town had a similar ordinance.
Portland City Council passed a new land use fee targeting the impacts of detention facilities after months of munitions use at the South Portland ICE building.

This is good and higher branches of government should get on the city’s level.
ICE will have to pay a fee to operate its Portland detention center under new city policy
The policy will charge property owners for detention facilities that negatively impact the surrounding neighborhood, like the ICE facility in South Portland.
