The article outlines key stories from the week, focusing on Portland's ongoing challenges and initiatives such as a new housing committee to tackle affordability issues, led by Councilor Angelita Morillo's proposed ban on algorithmic pricing. It highlights the urgency of protecting civil rights in police interactions, as exemplified by Councilor Tiffany Koyama Lane's remarks. Additionally, it discusses Portland's struggles to meet climate targets and touches on the controversial figure, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., noting the dangers of misinformation. Overall, these issues reflect the city's complex socio-political landscape.
"My family was surveilled, stripped of their home, livelihood, and dignity," Councilor Tiffany Koyama Lane told Portland police officials. "So my question is, how can we work together to make sure that history like this isn't repeated?"
City Councilor Angelita Morillo says she's crafting policy that would ban anti-competitive rental practices, including algorithmic pricing software used by landlords.
With Portland lagging on its climate goals, city leaders hope Portland City Council's new Climate, Resilience, and Land Use Committee can make a dent in what one committee co-chair called "a concerning trend."
It's fun to laugh at Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (and his brain worm). But he's also defiantly ignorant—which is what makes him so dangerous.
