Mapps and the Portland millionaires club making deals about how to make 4th be a shitier bike lane than the plan already was, I just, these people, like just quit with the finger-tenting evil bullshit for a second.
this could be a case of the "business" group [parking garage owners and financiers] putting words in his mouth, and WWeek trying to lend legitimacy to the PBA [the alliance trying to rebrand themselves as the metro chamber of Capital or some crap]. But Mapps does seem prone to talking out of both sides of his mouth, seeking those endorsements/campaign checks. Loves to talk about riding his bike, but when it comes to making cars optional, his PBOT always comes up short.
wweek endorsing Schmidt's opponent matches my reading on their politics: progressive when the vote is clearly going that way anyway. But I'm curious what excuses Portland's (non-resident) police are going to make once they get rid the DA they've been sandbagging for 4 years.
maybe if you were progressive ten years ago but haven't moved forward, then you're not progressive. Patting themselves on the back for Uber and Lyft "disrupting" urbanism or something.
