Welcome to the lemmy.world community for Portland, Oregon!

This community has kind of been empty since it was created, I'm hoping to change that!

Unlike "other" Portland communities you may have seen "elsewhere", I believe in a "warts and all" approach. You are free to take off your Rose tinted glasses and talk about topics that are dragging our city down.

At the same time, sunset pics, snowmageddon, traffic monster, cones, that's all welcome as well. Let's collectively keep Portland weird!

2024 is going to be an interesting year politically with all the changes to city government, I will attempt to tag political threads with a [Politics] tag and encourage users to do so as well.

Other than the lemmy.world restrictions on spam, copyrighted material, and adult material (USE that NSFW tag!), there's only one real way to get in trouble here:

  1. Don't attack other users.

It's OK to go after Teargas Ted, it's OK to say Rene Gonzales is a fascist, ACAB, BLM, whatever floats your boat (WEFYB).

It's NOT OK to attack or diminish another user. Feel free to disagree, you can point out the many ways you think they're wrong, just don't start throwing perjoratives AT OTHER USERS.

"The 42-story building sold to Jeff Swickard, the CEO and founder of the Swickard Auto Group. Our news partners at Willamette Week report that the sale was for about $45 million in an all-cash deal.

The Unico/US Bancorp Tower building last sold for a little more than $370 million in 2015 and was expected to sell for a fraction of that price."

So, first, can't say I've heard of Swickard before... second... 45/370 = 12.16% of the previous sale price. Whoof!

42 stories would be tiny in a real city...but for Portland...
