If you didn't know, P4E is a program of @1000oregon that was launched around getting RIP passed. In keeping with our original plan and in alignment with Oregon’s 19 land use goals, we’ve decided to sunset Portland for Everyone as a program name, but not as an idea. (2/5)

What does this mean for #Oregon ? Communities now have more options to build housing that meets the needs (in both size and price) of Oregonians — from new families to young fresh-out-of-college grads to elderly people that want to age in place. #Housing #HousingCrisis
No law should require someone to pay for parking spaces they don't need. Oregon just slashed parking requirements statewide <3 bit.ly/3nhOUpC
We did it, Portland! As of this morning, the Residential Infill Project (RIP) passed 3-1.
You haven't heard from us in a while — but we've been engaged with the Residential Infill Project through @1000oregon. (1/5)

"Any project that expands road capacity will induce more
vehicle miles traveled, which decreases safety and increases congestion."

If you've got a few minutes, it would mean a lot to us. 💙
Friends, our 50th anniversary is approaching, and we want to know how you think we're doing by completing our quick survey: surveymonkey.com/r/DVLXRKZ

Build more roads, get more driving. Build more lanes, get more driving. Build “better cars,” get more driving. Build ride-hailing, get more driving. Build more sprawl, get more driving.
If you REALLY want less traffic, build cities & pricing differently. nitter.cf/jeffreytumlin/status/7…
This survey is super fast and super important. Let @oregonmetro know what transportation investments your community needs to thrive — every voice counts!
Partners & friends, please take this 5-minute survey to help shape programs in @oregonmetro's 2020 transportation measure. We support advancing racial equity with a Regional Universal YouthPass, Better Bus + strong, targeted anti-displacement programs. gettingtheretogether.org/it-…

Why housing shortages hurt even well-off homeowners:
1) High housing costs worsen traffic
2) Employers need workers at all wage levels
3) Cost-burdened people buy less stuff

"We [Portland] needed to build 103,000 new units this decade to keep pace with population demand, but only built 79,500[.]" bit.ly/3c7JMPu
Not only did Portland not build enough housing units to meet the needs of Portlanders — but we've also failed on the affordability front. The costs to both rent and buy skyrocketed in the past decade.
But Portland is working on it where other cities in the U.S. are failing to pass meaningful legislation: the Residential Infill Project represents a good first step to addressing both concerns through expanded #HousingChoices.
Even if you can't show up in person, submitting testimony online makes a huge difference!
We're more optimistic about the Deeper Affordability Bonus than this article would indicate, but it's a good reminder to show up for the amendments hearing on March 12th and submit written testimony via the Map App (portlandmaps.com/bps/testify…)

Further, you can show love and support the Rose Lane Project by emailing city hall, see below:
our friends at @portland_bus are asking for folks to email city hall this afternoon in support of @PBOTinfo's Rose Lane Project proposed by @ChloeEudalyPDX.

"Cities are the perfect place to focus on this smart climate solution, especially while federal action is lagging. Across the nation, cities are taking action, policy by policy and street by street, in ways that add up to big climate impacts."

Thank you, @NRDC_AF! Read their latest blog post to learn why #NRDCActionFund is so excited about #RoseLanes:

Happy Birthday to the first lady of civil rights, Rosa Parks. In her honor, we joined a group of individuals and organizations requesting that every February 4th in the Metro area (starting in 2021) would be a free transit day.
Unsurprisingly, people want to move to #PDX (because it's awesome here).
To create a space for ALL (and that means all) of the people that do and will call Portland home we need to act ASAP since we've got a lot of catching up to do.
