Portland, Oregon faces a huge housing crisis. To avoid people becoming homeless, authorities recently allowed small apartment buildings. Look at how some folks are reacting (lemmy.world)

Portland has OK transit but it does take much longer than a car for most journeys. I've used it almost exclusively for the past 2.5 years and I've only had a few times where I couldn't get close to my destination using it.

    I used to live up in NE and it was pretty much always faster to just walk or find a scooter to get anywhere within a couple miles. If I wanted to get to the city center it was either a 15 minute Uber or 45 minutes via bus. Public transit downtown is great but we really need better service on the east side to connect the whole city.
