SE Clay Townhomes Underway

Heavy equipment recently leveled the 35-by-100-foot lot at 8416 SE Clay Street, which has remained vacant for years awaiting development. In 2021, Provision Investments purchased the property, intending to construct a three-story apartment building containing nine residences. That multifamily project never broke ground, and in 2023, the owner listed the project for sale with city-approved…

9: ohhhhhh ok . So . Man what oc do I have that isn’t weird. Uhm. Uhhh. Uhhhh. Ok so . Like . it’s probably “No pictures! Whoops!” this thing is greasy icky yucky and I don’t even have an image for it because I just got the idea to make it today and I DONT have a good design nailed down for it. It certainly is. An oc. That I have.

6. Ok. So. No pictures! Whoops! is an amazing example of my process. It’s just:

i see a thing

i think “that would be really funny/cool/crazy as an object oc

i draw a sketch of it and then simplify the design a bit (ditti’s greeen wisteria is a good example! For a character I want to draw a lot, I need a shape that’ll be EASY to draw a lot and make it look semi consistent)

slap a few personality things on there that would probably fit and maybe some extra accessories and. That’s it lol. Literally

like, examples here:

Hydrangea was just me going “I want a nice plant oc that’s a bush. What would work?” oh! A hydrangea bush is fine (her name was originally Hydrangea Bush! I shortened it to hydrangea later)

RIRU was made as a doppelgänger to BIAS alumni cucked from RIP2. BIAS (a camp) alumni cucked. So I made it RIP(a camp) RUNNER UP (a placement). Messed around, didnt want a “2nd” on there so I put a lighting bolt and made the eye and arm fucked up of course cause of tesla. originally they were a lot nastier too !

i don’t remember how I made loveletter lol

pc is genuinely just the icon for the subeteanatanoseidesu main channel with horns derived from my other pfp character ellie’s second form(so. Meika hime and mikoto basically)

one time I saw a video about ghost plants and thought it was cool

on the bus I was thinking about literally any name for a character and like. I thought of Standard. Damn cant stop thinking abt that. I thought of Cadillac. Damn cant stop thinking abt that.

[decompose1]

like idk how to express how recent it was. i read the flick and tesla entries at my mom's house and i was thrown out right before rip2 started

Portland Housing Permits Collapse 61% as High Costs Stall New Projects

Key Takeaways Sharp declines in Portland housing permits signal a significant slowdown in new residential developments. The combination of high construction costs and supply chain challenges hampers city expansion and investment returns. The current conditions elevate risks for real estate portfolios and raise concerns about the city’s future growth potential.   Mounting Challenges in Portland Housing Development Landscape Scarcity and bottlenecks are taking hold, threatening to choke future development. The risks to portfolios and city growth have never been greater. Housing Permits Plummet Amid Surging Costs and Regulation Between 2019 and 2024, the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro region witnessed permit approvals for multifamily housing crater by 68%. The pace is unprecedented, sending shockwaves through every corner of the market and exposing vulnerabilities in infrastructure investment across the city. Single-family home permits, the backbone of many urban development strategies, have also fallen. In just five years, their numbers dropped by 19%, signaling a far-reaching impact on the housing ecosystem. What does it mean when national trends surge upward, yet a city that prided itself on progress sees housing project approvals wither away? Across the country, single-family permits climbed 7%, but Oregon’s fell by 1%. The contrast is striking, and the message is clear—Portland, once an engine of growth, now risks falling behind. Construction costs sit at the heart of this collapse in building activity. Labor shortages choke developers’ timelines. Skyrocketing expenses halt projects before they even break ground, killing momentum for urban development and grinding infrastructure investment to a halt. According to data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau, Portland’s housing permitting statistics are updated monthly and reflect totals for all structure types, providing a comprehensive look at trends for both single-family and multifamily housing. Following the implementation of Portland's Residential Infill Project (RIP) and RIP2, an uptick in middle housing permits has somewhat countered the slowdown in single-family construction, providing a modest buffer to the crumbling pipeline. As these economic forces intensify, housing affordability erodes. Portland’s supply of new housing shrinks with every halted permit. Inventory concerns multiply, threatening to ignite even fiercer bidding wars for the few homes available. Developers are squeezed between the vise grip of tariffs and mounting regulatory pressures. Those banking on Portland’s growth face wave after wave of new hurdles. Government policies, though well-intentioned toward affordability, add another layer of complexity, exacerbating the risks inherent in infrastructure investment. The city's response, through landmark regulatory changes like RIP2, aimed to reverse the trend by opening doors to middle housing—ADUs, duplexes, triplexes, and four-plexes. These changes sparked a surge in permits for alternative housing types, but it is not enough to offset losses in the broader permitting pipeline. Middle housing hotspots have emerged primarily between the Willamette River and I-205, reflecting where rule changes have made the greatest impact. Yet, the broader collapse in traditional permit types dramatically overshadows gains in these narrow market segments. Oregon’s meltdown is part of a broader trend. The state’s multifamily permit approvals plummeted by 43% in 2024 alone, cementing the crisis gripping the entire region. Nationwide, the story is one of growth; in Portland, it is one of contraction, scarcity, and rising desperation. How much further can Portland’s housing infrastructure erode before the market cracks wide open? With project pipelines drying up and inventory shrinking, the city’s signature approach to urban development is threatened at its core, and the risk to long-term infrastructure investment could devastate both investors and the communities they serve.

Assessment What’s Next for Portland’s Housing Market? Portland’s housing permits have plummeted by a staggering 61%, raising real concerns about the city’s ability to meet future housing needs. When fewer permits are approved, it doesn’t take long before supply dries up, and that could make affordability even worse. Builders are facing higher costs and an ongoing labor crunch, putting thousands of potential homes on pause. If new housing can’t keep pace with population growth, will our roads, schools, and infrastructure be able to keep up? Unless Portland acts now to reduce construction barriers and invest in solutions, this permitting collapse could leave the city with a serious housing shortfall and long-lasting economic headaches. We all have a stake in Portland’s future—now’s the time to demand action and get our housing market back on track.

SE 92nd and Alder Townhomes

The new owner of a corner lot at 9144 SE Alder Street will construct three new townhomes on the backside of an existing 1947-era single-family residence. Each new townhouse will offer residents around 1,400 square feet of living space spanning three levels. The new homes will contain three bedrooms with two-and-a-half bathrooms. Units will face SE 92nd Avenue and receive addresses on that…
