  An excellent idea for #PDX. All cities should have a participatory budget program. https://www.opb.org/article/2026/07/06/portland-ballot-measure-for-more-public-say-in-city-budget-clears-hurdle/

  Deschutes County should definitely do this instead of fiddling with districts that will never satisfy everyone. And don't worry so much about the math; just emphasize that all voters have to do is rank candidates 1, 2, 3. It's as easy as that, and the people doing the counting handle the rest. #Oregon #Bend https://www.opb.org/article/2026/07/15/deschutes-county-could-see-multi-winner-ranked-choice-voting-on-this-year-ballot/

  As always, great work from Sightline on #transit and #zoning in #PDX. More homes means better, more sustainable and useful transit is possible. #Urbanism https://www.sightline.org/2026/07/17/the-case-for-a-homes-near-transit-bill-in-oregon-in-2027/

  The whole campaign is so obviously corrupted, but of course the police and their friends are claiming it's a conspiracy against them. #PDX https://www.opb.org/article/2026/07/31/portland-police-funding-initiative-accusations/

  At current off-peak PGE prices, driving our Ioniq 6 #EV (with 20s and AWD, mind) costs less than half as much per mile as driving a Prius at current gas prices.

  #Oregon needs to abolish nonmedical exemptions as soon as possible. You want your kid in public school, you keep them from getting everyone else sick with preventable diseases. Full stop. https://oregoncapitalchronicle.com/briefs/data-shows-record-low-compliance-from-oregon-families-with-kindergarten-vaccine-requirements/

  Anyone have a recommendation for a good wireless #CarPlay adapter? Looks like almost the entire industry is cheap AliExpress no-name crap. Only half-legitimate looking one I've found is this https://www.aawireless.io/en/products/aawireless-two-plus?locale=en-US

  Ayup. #Transit is an afterthought, and essentially seen as a welfare service for people who can't drive. The bus, particularly, is shameful to use. And so we keep spending billions upon billions building more congested and deadly highways and demolishing the places we love to make it easier to get there. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/may/06/american-cities-cars-public-transportation
