“In its most recent update to the court, receiver Douglas Wilson Cos. wrote that downtown Portland’s hotel market has not recovered at the same rate as other major cities since the COVID-19 pandemic.”


@THE HCP I’m telling you. Something is wrong here. But again it doesn’t mean we can’t get back to our glory days..

Travel…..every city has its issues. Just leave Portland, if you do in fact live here.
In Atlanta today on a long walk and businesses are boarded up and shut down all over…..as was Charlotte and Chicago on this trip. And we head to Memphis tomorrow….that place is a third world country basically, Save all the bullshit about how PDX is a burning wasteland. Every city has the same problems.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Probably has to do with the made up bullshit so many of ya'll made up about downtown that never actually went down there and watched fox news.

 

[santeesioux]

I'm going there for the weekend so i'll report back on if it has gone down a cliff since I haven't been there in 2 years

It smelled like weed and there was definitely homeless people walking around but it's like that in Salem and Eugene and here and while there was more I didn't feel unsafe or anything and I had a really nice time, so seems about the same as 2 years ago, not much different than when I was in Seattle a few years ago, so basically just a big city. Also i'm pretty sure I walked by Big Suke by Lauretta Jean's bakery.

Hit up Fogo de Chao today in downtown and my oldest son and I were both commenting on how clean everything looks. He even asked about why so many people were dressed up.

 

[crandc]

Funny. You in Pacific Northwest complaining Portland was worst in COVID recovery. Here in Bay Area we hear San Francisco was worst.
I was just in San Francisco and it looked like San Francisco.

I travel around the country/world constantly. Like basketball, I don’t use stats to tell me what I can see with my own eyes. Get outta of whatever suburban town you live in and see what’s REALLY going on around this country.

I am pleasantly surprised.

Me neither.

public discourse is always part of taxpayer-related stuff like this. It's a lot of money!

I'd buckle up, the negotiation of the private partnership piece will get even 'crazier', if you think what just happened was 'hysteria.'

I'm surprised it's coasting this easily thru the legislature considering the issues with transportation funding

but yeah, the supposed leaders of this push at the State, City, and County level have all said what's next is a 20 year commitment by the Dundon group to stay in Portland before this proceeds much further

Yea for years all we heard was something like this would never get done in Oregon bc this region hates public subsidies. But the way Portland has been the last 6 years I guess worked in our favor

 

[Strenuus]

Going to the governors desk. All approved.

 

[Hoopguru]

Will the $75 million form clean energy pass city council and board?

 

[blazerkor]

Will the $75 million form clean energy pass city council and board?

I haven't seen a report on this in weeks but the last report I saw said it all had the support on the city, county and state level to pass and so far that reporting has been accurate.

 

[julius]

Going to the governors desk. All approved.

I assume she'll sign it without hesitation.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Oh ya

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Looks like we're getting those 400 and 500 levels in the Moda soon!

I’m more interested in dundon laying out some sort of private commitment towards developing the area as part of the ownership group’s end. It will be a multi-month process.

100% where I stand.
