frens, here in portland there's a "too old, too white, too male" contingent that has no support, no motivation, and no one who does the business of state has any real idea how building happens, but they have a tight handle on the bureaucracy, so there's a ton of construction, and most of it useful, but municipally, it's a shit show. if there was any group that had even an inch of money and coordination, they could sweep the elections here with ease. we're stranded out here, the goddamn hand on the boomerang, and it feels nearer and nearer the breaking point. it feels alone in the west
