Twin Cities
Portland and Sacramento have many similarities. Portland is often about two years ahead of us in development and addressing problems, but we can gain insight from how Portland’s city commission reacts to municipal realities.
The two cities are alike in history, economic development and geography. Both have agricultural roots, comparable populations and two rivers. Both have chronic homelessness and divisions among city leadership. Some councilmembers want to defund police.
We both suffered looting and violence after George Floyd’s murder in 2020. Both experienced economic decline, rising housing costs and rampant homeless squalor. The pandemic left both city councils scrambling for solutions. Members became more polarized.

“Like many artists, I have dabbled in every medium, but the one I love most is watercolor. On each painting, my goal is to anticipate and produce exhilarating results that embrace the unexpected. For me, to be an artist is a privilege and a precious gift that I don’t want to waste. My goal is to create 1,000 paintings before I die.”
