Even city staffers agree that the benefits will not be worth the cost. These advocates believe this major project should not be initiated until “road pricing” is implemented and the results evaluated. Road pricing has the potential to solve many of Portland’s transportation issues without costly road improvements. Road pricing is another term for con- gestion pricing which is, in effect, a road toll. Conservatives have long been against this concept simply because it is a new tax, but there needs to be more funding for transportation. Congestion pricing not only provides needed funding, but it encourages fewer cars to use the roads. One of the big arguments against congestion pricing is that it is unfair to the poor and low income citizens.

  • District Background
    DRAFT SOUTHEAST LIAISON DISTRICT PROFILE DRAFT Introduction In 2004 the Bureau of Planning launched the District Liaison Program which assigns a City Planner to each of Portland’s designated liaison districts. Each planner acts as the Bureau’s primary contact between community residents, nonprofit groups and other government agencies on planning and development matters within their assigned district. As part of this program, District Profiles were compiled to provide a survey of the existing conditions, issues and neighborhood/community plans within each of the liaison districts. The Profiles will form a base of information for communities to make informed decisions about future development. This report is also intended to serve as a tool for planners and decision-makers to monitor the implementation of existing plans and facilitate future planning. The Profiles will also contribute to the ongoing dialogue and exchange of information between the Bureau of Planning, the community, and other City Bureaus regarding district planning issues and priorities. PLEASE NOTE: The content of this document remains a work-in-progress of the Bureau of Planning’s District Liaison Program. Feedback is appreciated. Area Description Boundaries The Southeast District lies just east of downtown covering roughly 17,600 acres. The District is bordered by the Willamette River to the west, the Banfield Freeway (I-84) to the north, SE 82nd and I- 205 to the east, and Clackamas County to the south. Bureau of Planning - 08/03/05 Southeast District Page 1 Profile Demographic Data Population Southeast Portland experienced modest population growth (3.1%) compared to the City as a whole (8.7%).

    Homeless Housing Alternatives “From Self-Organized Camps to Tiny House Villages” Andrew Heben Forum in Humboldt County Saturday, November 15, 2014 (11am to 3pm) Eureka Woman’s Club-1531 J Street Tent City Urbanism “From Self-Organized Camps to Tiny House Villages” explores the intersection of the "tiny house movement" and tent cities organized by the homeless to present an accessible and sustainable housing paradigm that can improve the quality of life for everyone. While tent cities tend to evoke either sympathy or disgust, the author finds such informal settlements actually address many of the shortfalls of more formal responses to homelessness. Tent cities often exemplify self-management, direct democracy, tolerance, mutual aid, and resourceful strategies for living with less. This book presents a vision for how cities can constructively build upon these positive dynamics rather than continuing to seek evictions and pay the high costs of policing homelessness. The tiny house village provides a path forward to transitional and affordable housing within the grasp of a local community. It offers a bottom-up approach to the provision of shelter that is economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable—both for the individual and the city. The concept was first pioneered by Portland's Dignity Village, and has since been re-imagined by Eugene's Join Us in Creating These New Opportunity Village and Olympia's Quixote Village. Now this innovative model has emerged from the Northwest to inspire projects in Madison, Austin, and Community Based Alternatives Ithaca, and is being pursued by advocacy groups throughout the country. AHHA-HumCo Andrew Heben is an urban planner, writer, and tiny house builder based in Affordable Homeless Housing Alternatives Eugene, Oregon.

  • Town Hall #1 Event Summary
    Comprehensive Plan Town Hall #1 Event Summary Overview The first of three Milwaukie Comprehensive Plan Update town halls took place on April 4, 2018 in the Waldorf School gymnasium. Around 120 community members participated in the event. The town hall began with introductory presentations followed by small-group discussions on the four policy areas under review in Block 1: • Economic development • Urban growth management • History, arts and culture • Community engagement Simultaneous translation was offered for Spanish-speaking community members, and one breakout group was conducted in Spanish. Before the event adjourned, representatives from the community and Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) reported out one “big idea” from each breakout table. In addition to the small group discussions, attendees had the opportunity to provide feedback on all four topics through a comment form. In total, the city received 25 comment forms. Welcome and introductory remarks The town hall began with introductory remarks by Mayor Mark Gamba. He thanked attendees for taking part in this important effort, which continues the work begun through the community visioning process. Mayor Gamba explained that the adoption of an updated Comprehensive Plan is a crucial step toward realizing Milwaukie’s Community Vision. Planning Director Denny Egner provided an overview of the comprehensive planning process. Denny explained the Comprehensive Plan includes policies, maps and ancillary plans that reflect and are consistent with Milwaukie’s Vision and Action Plan, state and regional goals, and community input. The plan is implemented through development and zoning codes as well as through city projects and programs. Topic-specific feedback Notetakers from all 13 breakout discussions recorded feedback on flip charts during the event.

  • Community in Property: Lessons from Tiny Homes Villages
    COMMUNITY IN PROPERTY: LESSONS FROM TINY HOMES VILLAGES Lisa T. Alexander* The evolving role of community in property law remains undertheorized. While legal scholars have analyzed the commons, common interest communities, and aspects of the sharing economy, the recent rise of intentional co-housing communities remains relatively understudied. This Article provides a case study of tiny homes villages for the homeless and unhoused, as examples of communities that highlight the growing importance of flexibility and community in contemporary property law. These communities develop new housing tenures and property relationships that challenge the predominance of individualized, exclusionary, long-term, fee simple-ownership in contemporary property law. The villages, therefore, demonstrate property theories that challenge the hegemony of ownership in property law, such as progressive property theory, property as personhood theory, access versus ownership theories, stewardship, and urban commons theories in action. The property forms and relationships these villages create not only ameliorate homelessness, but also illustrate how communal relationships can provide more stability than ownership during times of uncertainty. Due to increasing natural disasters and other unpredictable phenomena, municipalities may find these property forms adaptable and, therefore, useful in mitigating increasing housing insecurity and instability. This case study also provides examples of successful stakeholder collaboration between groups that often conflict in urban redevelopment. These insights reveal a new role for community in property law, and are instructive for American governance and property law and theory. *Copyright © 2019 by Lisa T. Alexander, Professor of Law, Texas A&M University School of Law, with Joint Appointment in Texas A&M University’s Department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning.
