That's Portland Style Thinking...W E I R D.

Don't think of gravel roads and potholes as areas that should be improved: they're natural areas that just need neighborly love and creativity.

We don't need sidewalks or drainage systems either: cause it hurts the salmon. Tough luck for those kids that have to walk in the street.

We should continue to lavish hundreds of millions of dollars on light rail, trollies, tram, traffic calming, and Tri-Met and keep poor mouthing the neighborhoods everytime that ask PDOT for a strategic plan to pave the unpaved streets while adding sidewalks and drainage.

BUT NOOOOOO! We can't spend transportation dollars on building new roads: that's not in PDOT's budget. The neighborhoods need to pay for all that themselves.

Complete horseshit.
