We're Portlanders and we love housing! Also affectionately known as "YIMBYs", we support policies that allow for more homes to be built in our city and region. We also acknowledge the impact of displacement caused by new development and changing neighborhoods and we support policy to prevent displacement, as a priority. On this ride, we'll cruise through all 5 Portland quadrants, looking at examples of dwellings that come in all shapes and sizes, including single family homes (old and new), duplexes, triplexes, quad-plexes, apartment buildings, ADUs, new affordable housing, and everything in between. We'll try to highlight sustainable and especially well-done new developments and we'll talk about the impact of architectural design on our neighborhoods, too. We are welcoming to all, especially new neighbors, so please come with a positive attitude and bring your "house love". This roughly 10-mile ride will minimize elevation gain and will not quite be a loop (unless you go on Francine's Climate Cycles ride earlier, in which case it will be a loop). Plan for an average speed of between 7-10 mph. We'll try to wrap up around 5 pm so everyone headed to the WNBR can rest up!
