Portland city commissioners Nick Fish and Amanda Fritz as well as Onward Oregon and the Coalition For A Livable Future are NOT telling the truth to Lents and everyone else in Portland.
Portland city commissioners Nick Fish and Amanda Fritz as well as Onward Oregon and the Coalition For A Livable Future support the discredited and abhorrent policy of UNLIMITED neighborhood concentration of PUBLIC housing.
Portland city commissioners Nick Fish and Amanda Fritz as well as Onward Oregon and the Coalition For A Livable Future support UNLIMITED concentration of regional PUBLIC housing into a few select neighborhoods in Multnomah county such as Lents, Portsmouth, St. Johns, Hollywood, Kenton etc.
90% of the 30% set aside from Urban Renewal public money for housing is for PUBLIC HOUSING, NOT so-called affordable housing.
Portland city commissioners Nick Fish and Amanda Fritz as well as Onward Oregon and the Coalition For A Livable Future continue to DENY that PUBLIC housing exists in Portland.
PUBLIC Housing = Means Test + Government Subsidy + Rental Agreement
AFFORDABLE Housing is a for sale 1.3 million dollar house in Portland's west hills that was affordable to former city commissioner Erik Sten, but not affordable to any HAP client or the majority of Portlanders. Affordable housing includes for sale property, is relative to the economic circumstances of the buyer/renter and does NOT require government involvement.
PUBLIC Housing Is Under The Complete Control Of Government.
Government is accountable to the governed for how and where it spends the taxpayers' money.
Government is accountable to the governed for how and where it spends public funds on PUBLIC housing.
Portland city commissioners Nick Fish and Amanda Fritz as well as Onward Oregon and the Coalition For A Livable Future DENY the right of taxpayers and citizens to access public housing statistical data which is essential for reasoned and defensible public decision making.
Lents property owners, business owners and residents as well as every Portland taxpayer need to be told the TRUTH followed by DUE PROCESS in public decision making.
