Metro Council Sends $650 Million+ Affordable Housing Levy to Voters

This November, voters will decide on a $652 million bond that Metro claims will build up to 3,900 affordable homes in the Portland metro area. Gerard Mildner, academic director for Portland State University's Center for Real Estate, described the effort as a "feel-good measure that won't be very effective" because it  will not produce enough units to meet the need.
