What: no drum jam?

SERA...something's gonna get built....on a filled in/covered up reservoir?
The tool library will provide the tools and then a garden will be installed?
Oh yes! and all private cars will be banned in SE so anyone who wants 4 wheels will have to contract with the Get Around folks.
The NA person will be passing out Vaseline.

Not sure what dad is doing to his kid. Maybe trying to get him up in tree to see what the neighborhood used to look like before all the crap apartment complexes blocked out the view.

Looks like only 1 apple? left on that tree and no cars either.

Hopefully it's not an organic apple. New research indicates that organic food can increase the chances of becoming a self-righteous jackass.

"It's hard to read through all the code"

That's the us vs them mentality. If they say something to obfuscate the issue, how the heck do you disagree with them since they obviously know stuff you don't?

Letters/Word count = A+
Actual communication = D-

Each attendee will be handed some lotion and a roll of paper towels.

Why Mt. Tabor neighborhood? Get ready to carve out another piece of the park. Fence it off for more special interests or better yet, sell off the fringes for condos! Who cares about open space anyway! It's not considered a "highest use" in development and zoning circles. No use should trump our communities few open and free spaces.

Every time I've participated in a CoP charette with the phrase "a more resilient future" they never have one of the futures being "leave it as is" and let present economics, zoning, market determine the future.

13 people plus 19 CoP employees will show up putting on 12 red dots from their small group's 5 future choices.

You're screwed Mt. Tabor, and 13 people will be determining your future. That is Sam's citizen participation

"....design a more resilient future for our SE community." I'd read this as pavement and roofing being more resilient than trees and other plants. Once you've put in enough skinny house infill, you'll have a truly resilient community.

Wonder what's being sold here,

The neighborhood, the character and livability!
Watch out, the next "redo!"
Propaganda for the next "Eco-district?"
Are they next in line for "blight and URA"?

As far as I am concerned they touch Mt. Tabor and the reservoirs, they are cutting out the heart of our city!

This is a facilitated event and an opportunity for us to find ways to support each other in identifying and making changes at the individual household and business level that can lead to a more sustainable community.

I am sure this will be facilitated and quite controlled, what now, some nice talk about being "with it" and moving towards the "future" with the right buzz words along with those fancy illustrations presented for the green and red dots?
Making changes? .....how about no changes?
Can't have that, we have to keep the redo playing like a broken record until every inch has been scratched and done along with our behavioral changes accompanying to accept being treated like sheep!
All for the planet.
All for the children.
All for the streetcar!

Makes one want to move out to East Portland just to be left alone by these cultists.

Charrette or Charade?

Hope this neighborhood gets off easy. Like maybe a few of those sawed off bicycles hung from telephone poles.

This malarky is one more article showing pipe dream chasing juveniles, like Jefferson Smith, are the zombies running Stumptown. Get rid of one juvenile (Adams) and get another one in his place (Smith possibly).

They'll take part of Mt Tabor Park for a re-education camp for us reprobates who won't raise chickens or give up our cars and want our weekly garbage service back. We'll be conscripted to labor in the resilient kombucha brewery until we see the error of our ways.

"resilient neighborhoods"

Because "sustainable" is so 2010.
