- Basic livability: Our city looks awful. It’s not complicated, difficult, or expensive to pick up trash, needles, and human waste, to clean up graffiti and replace broken storefront windows. People need to feel safe and welcome in their neighborhoods.
- Supporting small businesses: It’s expensive and complicated to do business in Portland. 90% of employers in Portland have fewer than 10 employees, and don’t have the time to learn these outdated and adversarial systems that never seem to give them any benefit. Let’s fix that, and actually support the people who are investing in Portland.
- Lead with music and arts: If we want to reduce bad behavior, support small businesses, and make places feel safe and vibrant, we do that by making music and art as easy to activate as possible. This is not just a “nice to have”. This is music and art as economic development and community safety. We should activate every public square, every park, and every business district, and invite the public back. There's no amount of police patrolling a business district at 2am that will match the same true community safety of a concert getting out at 2am. If we want to reduce bad behavior, we do that by instead encouraging good behavior.
Commissioner Nick Fish often would say that any leader needs to identify what their values are, and write them down if needed, and to never, ever compromise on anything on that list. That of course means that anything that isn’t on that list is negotiable. Even if siding with your values means you have to disagree with friends on important decisions, people can’t fault you, and you’ll be able to go on to the next big fight together.
