If Chloe Eudaly can keep her seat, and Margot Black wins hers, we could have a pro-worker, pro-renter majority in the Portland City Council. What is a city? I mean, what is a city for? That, of course, depends on who you ask. For most rich people, for real estate speculators and developers, cities are their main source of income. Cities are places where millions of people need housing, and housing is an investment you profit from massively, because everybody needs it, no matter how expensive it becomes. And you can monopolize it, and fix prices, and make trillions of dollars from the misery of a hundred million American tenants. If you're rich.
