Readers Respond to the Latest Contortions in Oregon Homelessness Policy
The clearing of homeless camps from Portland’s streets is often and crudely described as a game of Whac-A-Mole. But another frivolous analogy comes to mind after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled cities could enforce strict camping bans: Homelessness policy on the West Coast has been written with an Etch A Sketch, which the courts shake every few years, sending cities and states back to the drawing board. Oregon, which structured its camping laws around previous court rulings, now must decide whether to draw them again (“Breaking Camp,” WW, July 10). The law-and-order candidates running for Portland City Hall this November certainly want a do-over. Here’s what our readers had to say:

Donovan Clingan's Summer League honor confirms draft steal for Blazers
The NBA announced the All-Summer League First Team and Second Team honors. Here are the results:. Donovan Clingan finished the Las Vegas Summer League, averaging the most rebounds per game at 12.3. Even more impressively, his 4.2 blocks per game were the most in the history of Summer League, surpassing "The Alien," Victor Wembanyama, who averaged four a game. The main appeal for Clingan as a draft prospect was his rebounding and rim-protecting abilities. He was even in consideration for the No. 1 overall pick by the Atlanta Hawks because of these traits. He possesses elite size at 7-foot-2 and is excellent at moving his feet, given his frame.

Primus, Coheed And Cambria Stir Up Mosh Pit Of Heavy Metal Nostalgia In Oregon [Photos/Videos]
A diverse crowd gathered near Portland, OR on Friday for a concert at McMenamins Edgefield featuring Primus and Coheed and Cambria. When it was announced back in February, the co-headlining tour took some by surprise, seeing as Coheed’s heavily conceptual prog rock falls outside Primus’ psychedelic music festival milieu, though upon reflection, the pairing makes perfect sense. Primus has always had a strong footing in both the heavy metal world and jam band scene thanks to Les Claypool‘s idiosyncratic style and eclectic taste. The band recently toured with A Perfect Circle and Puscifer—both fronted by Tool singer Maynard James Keenan—and its heavy metal street credit may have actually peaked around the time that Coheed blew up on a national level with help from games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero, which also featured tracks from Primus.

Report: Rising Vacancies, Flexible Lease Negotiations Mark Second Quarter of 2024 Trends in Portland’s Industrial Market
The industrial real estate market in the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metropolitan statistical area has demonstrated notable trends and shifts over the past year, according to a recent Kidder Mathews Portland Industrial Market Report for the second quarter of 2024. Despite the stability in average asking lease rates, which remained constant at $0.88 per square foot year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter, net effective rates have declined due to increased tenant improvement allowances and free rent incentives. Kidder Mathews believes that this is an indication that while landlords are maintaining asking rates, they are more flexible in negotiations to attract and retain tenants.
