Welcome to the lemmy.world community for Portland, Oregon!

This community has kind of been empty since it was created, I'm hoping to change that!

Unlike "other" Portland communities you may have seen "elsewhere", I believe in a "warts and all" approach. You are free to take off your Rose tinted glasses and talk about topics that are dragging our city down.

At the same time, sunset pics, snowmageddon, traffic monster, cones, that's all welcome as well. Let's collectively keep Portland weird!

2024 is going to be an interesting year politically with all the changes to city government, I will attempt to tag political threads with a [Politics] tag and encourage users to do so as well.

Other than the lemmy.world restrictions on spam, copyrighted material, and adult material (USE that NSFW tag!), there's only one real way to get in trouble here:

Don't attack other users.

It's OK to go after Teargas Ted, it's OK to say Rene Gonzales is a fascist, ACAB, BLM, whatever floats your boat (WEFYB).

It's NOT OK to attack or diminish another user. Feel free to disagree, you can point out the many ways you think they're wrong, just don't start throwing perjoratives AT OTHER USERS.

"U.S. Bank leases approximately 222,000 square feet inside the tower"

"But more than half – nearly 583,000 square feet — of Big Pink’s approximately 1 million square feet was available for lease as of the second quarter"

So big pink will be 3/4 empty. Whoof.

"Two large tenants — pollster SurveyMonkey and law firm Miller Nash — declined to renew their leases at Big Pink last year, together accounting for roughly 100,000 square feet for Unico to fill in Oregon’s second tallest building."

Not sure when those leases expire, but if they haven't yet, that makes 905,000 / 1,000,000 square feet empty. 😳

Feels pretty bad. I'm all for work from home and all, but financial centers enable cultural centers and Portland seems to be losing big players. I just can't shake the feeling that we'll have to figure out a new way of being a city
