My condo overlooking the north park blocks used to be low income housing too. I didn't know that when I bought it and feel pretty shitty when I think of people being displaced just so I can have a nice view of the park from my living room and a short bike ride to work or the store. But hey, it was cheap, has indoor parking, and "vintage charm" so I just bury the guilt and try not to think about it too much. For what it's worth: I'm sorry, poor people of Portland, for being so selfish.
Soapbox is looking like a comer. Nolen was also responsible for organizing last year's may day event, where a flag for each of Portland's homeless was planted in the park blocks.
Sorry. I was going through withdrawals.
