I'm going to drive down it whether I look at the sign or not. Naming a street after a person isn't going to make me think of that person, it's just going to make it a tiny bit harder to give directions. Whoopie.

Personally, I don't think anyone on the Portland City counsel spent even 10 actual minutes with the latino community asking THEM what they really need from their city government. Instead, it smacks of elitist whites trying to either buy off the latino vote with a token gesture or just make them feel better about themselves. How exactly does this really help the problems latinos are having in this city? Was there even one mention of that? Instead, this seems to have done nothing but divide an anger people more.

And as for the 'healing' process beginning - I don't buy that either. Every time these homeowners write their street address on a letter or form, they'll remember being ignored by their leaders in favor of token gestures.

I don't see the counsel members suggesting to rename the street in front of their OWN houses to 'Sitting Bull road', 'Stalin way', or 'Vincente Garrerro ave'. Bunch of hypocrites cajoling others with teary-eyed pleas to accept those forced changes without daring to hurt their own property values.

Disgusting
