A recent report highlights Portland's struggle with housing affordability, as Oregon ranked poorly in a survey conducted by realtor.com. Additionally, a survey of 600 Portland voters, commissioned by local leaders, indicates that many residents are inclined to recommend police budget cuts over other services such as fire fighting and homelessness support. Despite differing opinions across neighborhoods, there seems to be a cohesive call for increased tax on large retailers. The discussion around replacements for local businesses also reflects the community's adaptive economy.
Oregon received an 'F' this week, placing in the bottom five of US states-in terms of housing affordability and rate of new home construction.
Large swaths of Portlanders say police should be cut first, but those numbers are higher in some neighborhoods than others.
