Seattle is leading the way on social housing in the US. Tonight we put a down payment on social housing with the passage of our Keep Portland Housed ordinance. We’ve got some catching up to do, but I know we’re built for it.16 Apr 2026 06:06 +0000at://did:plc:fkj5ytfohhvmavvbimsupnut/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjlqlqb5wk2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/councilorgreen.bsky.social/post/3mjkpscz7os2wGreat news for lovers of music and people who generally don’t like to get fleeced by monopolies. Would have been great for the prior council to have not made it so easy for Live Nation to inflict themselves on Portland’s music scene, but now we have this protection at least.

This issuance is part of a broader debt management strategy to finance the water filtration plant. I’d like to share my reason for that no vote.15 Apr 2026 03:00 +0000at://did:plc:fkj5ytfohhvmavvbimsupnut/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjivpbzm2k22https://bsky.app/profile/councilorgreen.bsky.social/post/3mj26555qn22tThe way it works is that the city applies for a loan from the state and assumes the liability, and then immediately grants the funds to a project recipient. To recoup the funds from the grantee the city may establish a repayment structure. This introduces counterparty risk.

I didn’t support all of the changes today, but I’m glad we’re finally getting rental assistance money out.

Here’s why: fundamentally, we changed our form of government to move away from backroom dealing on matters of public interest. Using code names for recurring meetings like this runs counter to transparency.
