Will this also extend the relocation assistance required of landlords for people displaced by rising rents/no-cause evictions?

Defining the emergency should have happened before declaring it. Two years later, we're told that you need another two months to determine what it actually is?

We get it Ted. The "emergency" is nothing but an excuse to violate the rule of law.

six months... not two.

This kind of incessant bumbling has become the hallmark of Portland's city government. I think this is where smart, young wonks go to become thick, stupid bureaucrats.

@horushound: Yes. Expected as part of all this is that the city will extend the renter relocation policy, as currently written, by six months, while it works up a more permanent law.

Who didn't see this coming as soon as the first "emergency" was declared? It's going to be a perpetual state of "emergency" in housing in Portland forever so Eudaly, Wheeler and Co. can keep the underlying justification for their shitty rent control policy while not doing a damn thing to solve the fundamental cause of high housing prices in Portland - a significant lack of housing supply relative to the demand.

@ Dirk VanderHart Thanks for the info and the link!
