Please, please tell me the Mercury is not also joining the trend to aim everything in the world at spoiled 11-year-old American girls.

Re: “Portland Plan: Pins and Polite Public Process... and What Homeless People?”
Of course it's about YOU. As long as you are:
"White, 32 percent have a household income over $100,000 and only 33 percent were under 40"
You can hide in your microbrew pubs, 'green' buildings and Pearl condos behind gates and guards and feel good about yourselves because of your intentions, despite the actual results.
You can also roll up the windows of your Prius' as the armies of change bummers and junkies line up to swap shifts at the corner and in front of the empty storefronts.
It would be amazing if any of these people actually walked the downtown streets today and took a look.

That is the necessary byproduct imposed by economic reality in such a system.
Go read about the U.S.S.R. Or Cuba. Or Venezuela. etc .

Good thing we got all that stimulus money to build streetcars.
Re: “Muslim Community Center Slated For North PDX”
I agree with you, and don't mean to sound bigoted or paint with too broad of a brush, I was just referring to the cloaked figures in the image.
The issues of women in the U.S. and local Islamic community would make an interesting story for the paper, on something a lot of Portlanders probably don't know a whole lot about.
Re: “Muslim Community Center Slated For North PDX”
An endorsement of the subjugation of women from the Merc kind of surprises me.
