The city of Portland is and should be in the Public Housing* business. Beware of city commissioners and certain reporters referring to purchase of the Joyce Hotel as “affordable” ** housing. It is NOT.

FYI - Most Public Housing* is NOT Affordable Housing**.

The Portland city council is invited to reply to this comment to challenge my statement.
