TRIMET MAX LINES GENTRIFYING NEIGHBORHOODS

Of course we all know that was the intent of all this Trimet social engineering. Nothing to do with transit everything to do with property development 

“But, the dark side of gentrification is the resulting involuntary displacement which takes a number of forms. In Portland, the impacts are felt most heavily by low-income renters. Homes that were once rented are sold to purchasers who plan on living in the home, displacing the former tenants. New people coming into the neighborhood are willing to pay greater amounts for the homes, rents increase displacing those unable to bear the increase. Residents are forced to look elsewhere for housing they can afford,” the paper said.
