Willamette Week has a nice article in this week's paper about Accessible Dwelling Units and how these homes allow Portlanders to live near their families:
ADUs Offer a Way to Keep Multiple Generations Close Together, While Offering Space and Privacy
These small, stand-alone residential units allow families to remain close while permitting a degree of independence and privacy.

Very cool that I get to do important things with people who care and we all show up because we have decided that’s how we want to spend our free time. Highly recommend joining @portlandneighborswelcome.org if that sounds like fun to you.

My friend’s dad fell down stairs at his apartment building a few years ago and it had a dramatic impact on his health. My grandparents were just in a car accident because their senior community is in the middle of nowhere. Elevator reform is the answer to preventing all of this.
Michael Andersen@andersem.bsky.social · last wk.I have a confession to make. The townhomes I & others spent most of a decade trying to legalize are popping up all over Oregon & elsewhere...and I love that...but they're a problem in one big way. (get ready for a twisty thread about the housing report @sightline.org just published)

I was part of PNW’s endorsement process in 2024, and I have to say this year the process was so much more thorough and deliberate, with volunteers dedicating a ton of time and effort. I urge you to go to our website to read more about our thoughts on this election.

We need elevator reform so urgently - we do not have enough accessible units for disabled people and seniors, especially in places with the transit, amenities, and infrastructure that help people stay independent and connected to their communities!
