It is Complicated: Developing Housing in Portland Oregon. by Fred Stewart

It is Complicated: Developing Housing in Portland Oregon. by Fred Stewart

Hello friends and family! It’s important to remember most financing for new home development is provided by investors and funds not associated with banks. Most banks avoid new home construction unless there are special and particular circumstances that will limit risk to nearly an absolute minimum. This is why you only see banks getting involved with affordable housing if there is government…

Sleepers Present Problems by Unknown

Rumor has it that Trump wants to be impeached and is more than happy to let the House pass articles of impeachment to take to the Senate for trial.

  During the trial, the President’s attorneys would for the first time have the right to subpoena and question anyone they wanted, unlike with the Special Counsel investigation, which was one-sided.

Trump’s lawyers would determine what testimony is…

Character Flaw; Hypocrisy in Action at Willamette Week

Written May 5, 2018, published to the internet May 10, 2018

  Does character matter in Portland Journalism? Does it matter that Portland media is controlled by the long-established white elite? Does it matter that the newspapers in Portland routinely do not focus on important issues that impact people of color? Does it matter that the newspapers in this town do not hire people of color as staff…

  The Normalization of Poverty in Portland Oregon

  Portland Friends and family, I’d like you to think about something I find important socially and culturally, and also distressing. It seems that the world is changing and in many ways for the worse; those changes are happening in Portland as well.

Press Release: racism in Journalism Portland Mercury

Press Release: racism in Journalism Portland Mercury

November 1st, Portland Mercury recently published a factually weak article by Doug Brown, accusing Commissioner Loretta Smith of illegally “Raking in cash for a city council run.” They accuse Smith of improperly fundraising for her future political campaign.

Rent Control is Racist Public Policy in Control in Portland Oregon by Fred Stewart

The Portland City Council recently decided to impose rent control on the city of Portland. They are going to use the next several months to craft a permanent rent control ordinance that will put a cap on rents in Portland Oregon and force landlords to pay for the moving costs for renters if they are given a No Cause Eviction. What this means is there will be higher increases in rents at the…
