Summary
Portland struggles to figure out how to create diversity without affecting property values. It is not easy. Fortunately, things are being solved through awareness.
Best Passage
“I’ve been really upset by what I perceive to be Portland’s blind spot in its progressivism,” said Khaela Maricich, a local artist and musician. “They think they live in the best city in the country, but it’s all about saving the environment and things like that. It’s not really about social issues. It’s upper-middle-class progressivism, really.”
Ms. Maricich, 33, who is white, spoke after attending this month’s meeting of Portland’s Restorative Listening Project.

you’re all full of it. As a brother…I’m tired of crackers asking the type of questions that, while you answer – they steal from you.
I own a business, had over 50k in the bank, yet it wasnt enough to grow my business until I brought a white front man on board.
All of a sudden everybody wanted to help the business thinking he was the owner. It made me so sick to my stomach.
Eventually, this white person stole, extorted and tried to steal my business from me.
i believe you.
not all white people are bad. but there are some that can be very exploitative.
