60 Portlanders die in June 2021

Below are the recommendations made by residents of Old Town and written by one-time resident, Ruth Ann Barrett, Sustainability Advocate. She is CEO of Earthsayers.tv. (415) 377-1835 text

 

These recommendations were ignored at both the committee and board levels by The Old Town Community Association (OTCA).  Each addresses the neighborhood as a heat island in different ways. 

 

Also included is the paper on the Caring Economy. It is important to understand there are alternatives to the economic vitality talk espoused by agencies such as Prosper Portland and the OTCA in their strategies.  Our leaders are failing citizens in their denial of the effects of Global Warming, especially at the neighborhood level and in spite of the City of Portland's Climate Action Plan and the healthy connected neighborhood strategy.
