Portland's middle-housing bet could reshape affordable housing nationwide

Portland’s zoning overhaul legalized duplexes, fourplexes and backyard homes and then removed the barriers to building them, turning “middle housing” into a practical, cheaper path to homeownership; the city’s incentives and streamlined permitting have spurred more construction, a model that other cities are watching and copying.

Arkansas Draws Hawai‘i in 2026 NCAA Tournament First Round in Portland

Arkansas earned a No. 4 seed in the West and will open the 2026 NCAA Tournament against No. 13 Hawai‘i in Portland’s Moda Center on March 19, with a 3:25 p.m. CT tip on TBS.

Blazers Seek Public Backing for Moda Center Makeover

With new Blazers owner Tom Dundon taking charge, Portland is pushing to secure public funding for a $600 million Moda Center renovation after Oregon approved tax-diversion funds; the remaining cost would come from the city and Multnomah County. Lobbyists have taken officials to Charlotte to study publicly funded arena deals and have signaled that full public financing may be the only path, even as some councilors remain skeptical about diverting clean-energy funds and delivering clear city benefits. The proceedings appear politically charged, with warnings that officials could face political fallout if they oppose the deal.

Oregon Judge curbs tear gas at Portland ICE site, orders officer identification

A federal judge in Portland limited DHS crowd-control weapons outside the ICE building, requiring officers to identify themselves and allowing munitions only when there is an imminent threat. The ruling also grants preliminary class certification to nonviolent protesters and journalists, with potential appeals by the Justice Department after hearings detailing use-of-force policy violations.

Portland councilor pushes open-carry rule for City Hall after protest disruption

Portland City Councilor Loretta Smith has drafted an ordinance to allow councilors to openly carry firearms while conducting city business, arguing it would deter aggressive disruption after protests interrupted a council meeting. The plan would create an exception to Portland’s generally restricted open carrying rules and is awaiting legal review. Revoke the Permit PDX organizers criticized the proposal, while supporters say it could improve safety for elected officials amid hostile confrontations and threats; no injuries were reported during the latest protest, and the city continues to balance First Amendment rights with security at City Hall.

Portland’s downtown economy pivots to a new normal, not a return to the past

Portland’s downtown economy pivots to a new normal, not a return to the past

A Portland Metro Chamber report says downtown’s office demand won’t rebound to pre-pandemic levels, with 2025 leasing at record lows and vacancies at record highs, even as foot traffic improves due to residents and visitors. The shift reflects lasting changes from hybrid work, requiring a broader downtown mix—housing, entertainment, small businesses and attractions—to sustain activity beyond weekday office crowds. Regional job growth lags and housing affordability remains a constraint, while policy steps like accelerating permits and attracting investment (including Moda Center upgrades) are cited to diversify the economy and restore vitality.
